RCMP in Langford investigating a homicide

Share On

R-C-M-P in Langford, just west of Victoria, are investigating a homicide.

They say the body of a man was found inside a vehicle as officers responded to a single-car crash in a rural area of the community late Monday night.

Police have not said how the unnamed man died, but foul play is suspected and members of the Vancouver Island Integrated Major Crime Unit are appealing for witnesses, dash cam video or home security tapes.

The case was the second of the day on Monday for the major crimes unit after members were also called to the North Cowichan/Duncan area when a body was found on Cowichan Tribes Land, but few details of that case have been released.

Jason Kenney to debate Alberta separatism in May events

The first debate is scheduled for May at a member-only conference hosted by Civitas Canada, a conservative non-profit, in Edmonton. Conference materials say both sides share a goal of “economic fairness for Alberta,” with Kenney and lawyer Keith Wilson debating whether staying in or leaving Canada best allows the province to “fulfil their destiny.” A second debate is planned for Calgary

The 2025 report from NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte states Canada spent approximately $63.4 billion on defence, reaching the alliance target for the first time since 1990.

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation is calling on the Government of British Columbia to suspend its provincial motor fuels tax, arguing the move would reduce costs for drivers as gasoline prices remain elevated. In a statement, the group said drivers in regions including Metro Vancouver and the Capital Regional District are paying more than $2 per litre for fuel, while prices in other parts of the province are մոտ $1.80 per litre. “B.C. drivers pay the highest gas prices in the country because of the highest gas taxes from the province and regional districts,” said Carson Binda.
