Yukon's coroner has named the man shot and killed by RCMP on Tuesday, south of Whitehorse.

In a news release on Wednesday, the Yukon Coroner Service identified the deceased man as Christopher John Delaney, 55, of Whitehorse.

The shooting happened on Tuesday at approximately 1 p.m. near the McClintock River Bridge in Marsh Lake, about 50 kilometres southeast of Whitehorse, police said in an earlier news release.

RCMP said a warrant had been issued for the man's arrest in relation to a firearms incident over the weekend. They had earlier asked for the public's help to find Delaney, saying he was facing several weapons-related charges.

During the interaction with Delaney on Tuesday, "a police-involved shooting occurred, resulting in the death of the individual," the statement read.

Toronto-based FrontFundr reported strong financial results on Wednesday, thanks in large part to a high-profile quest to fund a Canadian social media company through its crowdfunding platform.

FrontFundr released its financial results for the first quarter of fiscal 2026 on Wednesday. They show the company added nearly 6,500 new users, growing the platform’s community by 10 percent in a single quarter. The new users came alongside almost 3,000 completed investments through its platform in the quarter, which covered Oct. 1 to Dec. 31, 2025. That figure is two-thirds of the investor activity FrontFundr saw in its entire fiscal year in 2025.

Roughly one in five residential buildings in Canada has high radon levels — a figure that’s more than doubled since the late 2000s — while radon-induced lung cancer kills an estimated 3,200 people each year, federal figures show.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford dipped his toe into Quebec provincial politics Wednesday, suggesting that the election of a separatist party in Quebec would be a 'disaster' for Canada.

Ford was speaking at a joint news conference with New Brunswick Premier Susan Holt before a meeting of provincial premiers.

That will likely be current Quebec Premier François Legault's final first ministers' meeting, as Legault announced earlier this month he would be resigning as premier once his party selects a new leader.

With the Parti Québécois (PQ)'s Paul St-Pierre Plamondon leading handily in opinion polls ahead of the fall provincial election, Ford and Holt were asked what it might be like to sit around the first ministers' table with a separatist premier.

No charges will be laid against a Victoria Police Department officer who shot and killed a man in September 2021, according to the B.C. Prosecution Service.

On Sept. 12, 2021, VicPD officers responded to calls about a man in a mental health crisis who was holding a knife to his throat and threatening to kill himself.

Police fired beanbag rounds at the man while trying to keep him around the then-closed Island Savings Credit Union at Tolmie Avenue and Douglas Street, but he moved into nearby bushes.

“A trained crisis negotiator came and tried to calm him down, asking him to drop the knife,” said the B.C. Prosecution Service statement.

The man came out of the bushes with the knife and an unnamed police officer shot him once in the stomach.

The fiancée of a man found dead in the snow after a crash last week in Ottawa is remembering him as a devoted father who worked long hours and came so near to seeing his family again.

The Special Investigations Unit (SIU), Ontario's police watchdog, said Ottawa police responded at 11:30 p.m. that night to reports of a vehicle rollover.

Officers did not locate anyone in or around the vehicle, the SIU said, and subsequently left the scene.

But the next morning, a police officer returned to the scene and found a dead man nearby, beneath the snow.

A seniors advocate is calling for improved security measures at nursing homes across New Brunswick, as Saint John police investigate "offences of a sexual nature" at Loch Lomond Villa’s The Village involving at least 12 victims, some into their 90s.

"It's frightening to even think that this is happening in our homes," she said. "We're talking about vulnerable people here that can't defend themselves.”

The Saint John Police Force announced the investigation Jan. 23 after being alerted by staff at the 100-bed nursing home on the city's east side two days earlier.

Staff Sgt. Shawna Fowler said the family protection unit has identified "over a dozen" victims so far.

Although no one has been arrested yet, police do have a suspect, said Fowler.

It's not an employee or a resident, she said, but someone who is "affiliated" with the home.

Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum says the decision on whether her country sends oil to Cuba remains a matter of national sovereignty. Her remarks come in response to international media reports claiming shipments had been suspended due to pressure from the United States.

Mexico is one of the main suppliers of oil to Cuba following the U.S. attack on Venezuela on January 3, which ended with the abduction of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife. Following the attack, President Donald Trump called for a full blockade on oil shipments from Venezuela to Cuba.

Mexico and Venezuela, close allies of Cuba, have helped supply oil amid the island’s fuel shortages.
