Saskatchewan RCMP’s Human Trafficking and Counter Exploitation Unit (HTCEU), part of the Saskatchewan Enforcement Response Teams (SERT), along with the Saskatoon RCMP Detachment, have laid multiple charges against a 51-year-old man in connection with a human trafficking investigation originating in Dundurn, SK.

A 28-year-old woman was hospitalized with serious injuries after a stabbing incident in Saskatoon's Pleasant Hill area on October 27. Saskatoon Police responded to a business on the 1900 block of 20th Street West, where the injured woman arrived, stating she had been stabbed nearby.

Over the past week, Biggar RCMP officers responded to 30 incidents, addressing a range of community and traffic concerns.

Eight drivers were advised on traffic safety this week. One collision was reported on Highway 14 near Kinley, where a vehicle encountered a deer. In another incident, a Pontiac Vibe left roadside on Highway 14 near Perdue had its window smashed and was rummaged through before the owner returned after work.

Progress is being made in Stewart Valley on the new sporting grounds. 

Yesterday, members of the Stinger Strong Community Fund came out to accept a donation from Richardson Pioneer of $15,000.

New Democrats will not cave to demands from the Bloc Québécois and Conservative leaders to help them bring down the Liberal government, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said Wednesday. 

His party is now all that stands between Justin Trudeau's Liberals and an early election, with the other two opposition parties pledging to try to topple the minority government at the next opportunity. 

On Tuesday, Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet said he will make good on his threat to work with the other opposition parties to bring the Liberals down with a non-confidence vote.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has asked national security services to find a way to share information with Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre about foreign interference affecting his caucus, he said Wednesday. 

Earlier this month, Trudeau told a public inquiry that he has been given the names of past and present Conservative parliamentarians and candidates who are linked to foreign interference. 

Trudeau said members from other parties, including the Liberals, have also been flagged.
