Evan Rain and Judith Saulteaux are both charged with first-degree murder in the death of Harshandeep Singh.

The two people accused in the shooting death of a 20-year-old Edmonton security guard have pleaded not guilty and will have a preliminary hearing this summer.

Evan Rain and Judith Saulteaux are both charged with first-degree murder in the death of Harshandeep Singh. Singh died in hospital in December after he was found unresponsive by Edmonton police officers who were responding to a report of a gunshot at a downtown apartment building.

The preliminary hearing for the two 30-year-olds is to begin July 10 in an Edmonton courtroom and will determine whether there is enough evidence to justify going to trial. A spokesman for Singh's family has said the international student from India was on the job for three days before he was killed. The apartment building where the killing took place was shut down by the City of Edmonton over ``serious safety concerns.''

Experts say latest U.S. tariff threats could affect provinces unevenly

Economists say the latest U.S. tariff threats are expected to have different impacts across Canada, with Alberta and Saskatchewan among the least exposed provinces based on current export patterns.

According to Tombe, that is a lower level of exposure than many other provinces. The Trump administration has cited Canadian restrictions on U.S. alcohol sales as one of the reasons for the proposed tariffs. A
