The Liberals' fiscal update was intended to encourage business investment and beef up border security ahead of Donald Trump's return to the White House next month.

But the sudden resignation of Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland hours before the document was tabled instead ignited even more political and economic uncertainty.

Three people are dead and nine others injured after a shooting Monday at a private Christian school in Wisconsin, including a child who had unleashed the attack, authorities said.

Madison Police Chief Shon Barnes offered no details on the victims following the 10:57 a.m. shooting at Abundant Life Christian School, a 28-acre facility that includes a daycare center as well as Kindergarten through 12th grade, in Madison.

"Every child, every person in that building is a victim and will be a victim forever," Barnes said.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government is reeling after suddenly losing its top cabinet minister, Finance Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland, reigniting calls for Trudeau to step down and call an election.

Housing Minister Sean Fraser says he will not be running in the next federal election, citing a need to spend more time with his family.

Fraser made the announcement Monday morning at a news conference in Ottawa ahead of a cabinet meeting and the fall economic statement.

Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland has resigned from cabinet, the day she is set to present the fall economic statement. 

In a resignation letter posted to social media, she says Prime Minister Justin Trudeau offered her another role in cabinet Friday, but that the only "honest and viable path" is to leave cabinet. 

It's been almost a week since The Voice announced the winner of Season 26 of the popular singing show. 

This year's season has been a platform for numerous Christian singers, including Lauren-Michael Sellers, Jaukeem Fortson and the winner, Sofronio Vasquez.

Although Sofronio did not choose to sing Christian songs while on the show, he made sure his faith was front and centre, always being sure to thank God after every performance. 

The music subscription company Pandora recently released its Top 10 artists to watch in the new year, and up-and-coming Christian artist Megan Woods made the list. 

The list includes all genres, which makes the fact that Woods made the list in a secular genre quite impressive. 

Mail will begin moving again on Tuesday as Canada Post employees return to work for the first time in more than a month after the federal government pushed to end the stoppage.
