An Alberta man has been charged with first-degree murder in relation to the 2018 homicide of 27-year old Kyle Cromarty of Chilliwack.

Background: On October 4, 2018, while responding to a call of a man in medical distress in the 46600-block of Yale Road in Chilliwack, BC, officers from the RCMP’s Upper Fraser Valley Regional Detachment (UFVRD) located Kyle Cromarty suffering from fatal gunshot wounds. Cromarty was transported to the Chilliwack General Hospital and later died as a result of his injuries. The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) took conduct of the investigation and worked closely in partnership with the UFVRD’s Chilliwack Detachment, the BC Coroners Service and the Integrated Forensic Identification Section (IFIS).

In March of 2021, the investigation was transferred to IHIT’s Cold Case Unit, a team of experienced investigators who specialize in advancing challenging homicide investigations.

As a result of the strong work done by the initial investigating team in partnership with IHIT’s Cold Case Unit, on November 25, Harry Christensen was arrested in relation to the 2018 murder of Kyle Cromarty and on November 26, a charge of first degree Murder was laid.

"This case is a testament to the resiliency and commitment of the IHIT members," says Sergeant Timothy Pierotti of IHIT. "Our investigators continue to dedicate themselves to these cases, long after the initial call comes in."

As this matter is now before the court, no further comments will be provided.

Canadian government orders Hikvision to close Canadian business and leave the country

The Canadian government has ordered Chinese CCTV company Hikvision to close its Canadian business and leave the country.

Hikvision's subsidiary in Canada had been operating since 2014. It has also faced sanctions in the US, Australia and the UK. Hikvision said it strongly disagrees with the Canadian government's d

90-day moratorium on tariffs expiring on July 9, no intention to extend: Trump

US President Donald Trump says that he does not intend to extend the 90-day moratorium on tariffs expiring on July 9. He said that the tariffs on countries with which the deadline for negotiations expires without an agreement can remain in effect until they reach a trade agreement with the US. He said that letters will start being sent to the concerned countries before the deadline expires. Trump indicated that most countries will have to face 25 percent, 35 percent or 50 percent or even 10 percent tariffs to sell goods in the US.

Liquefied natural gas being loaded on Asia-bound tanker docked in Kitimat, B.C.

A tanker that is set to carry Canada's first cargoes of liquefied natural gas across the Pacific to Asian markets is docked at LNG Canada's berth in Kitimat, B.C. A spokesperson for the project says the GasLog Glasgow is being loaded with LNG produced in B.C.

LNG is natural gas that has been chilled into a liquid state so that it can be transported in specialized marine vessels. LNG Canada is a joint venture between Shell and
