The Ontario man accused of sending poison to people who later killed themselves is now facing murder charges in those cases.

Kenneth Law has been charged with 14 counts of second-degree murder on top of the previous charges of counselling and aiding

suicide.

His lawyer says Law plans to plead not guilty to the new charges, which are connected to 14 alleged victims in Ontario between the ages of 16 and 36.

Police allege the Mississauga man ran several websites to sell sodium nitrite and other items that can be used for self-harm, shipping hundreds of packages across the globe.

British police say 88 of 232 people died after buying products from websites allegedly linked to Law.

Surrey Mayor Brenda Locke has asked Premier Mark Carney to give the MP from Surrey a seat in his cabinet. She said that Surrey is about to become the first city in BC to reach a population of 1 million and it also borders the United States, so given the city’s development needs, we believe that Surrey should have a strong voice in the federal cabinet. The mayor said that I believe this will be an important step to support and ensure the continued growth of Surrey. She said that the city is growing by an average of 28 residents per day.

Bank of Canada warns trade war poses financial stability risks

The Bank of Canada has warned that the trade war poses a major threat to the Canadian economy, which could increase risks to Canadian financial stability, which would damage banks and other financial institutions and make it difficult for households and businesses to repay loans. In its annual Financial Stability Report released on Thursday, the central bank said that if it had not been for Trump's trade war, the Canadian economy would currently be in a strong position, but now there are concerns that the high level of uncertainty about US trade policy could derail financial markets.
