Two men in the 20s have been charged with first-degree murder in a double homicide in Whistler, B.C.

Police say the BC Prosecution Service has approved the charges against 24-year-old Gursimran Sahota and 20-year-old Tanvir Khakh, both from Surrey.

RCMP say the suspects were arrested on the Sea-to-Sky highway shortly after the shooting on Sunday, which took place in the Whistler Blackcomb resort's village near Sundial Hotel.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team said in an earlier statement that a burning vehicle discovered on a Whistler street was believed to be associated with the shooting.

The victims, Satindera Gill and Meninder Dhaliwal, are known to police and the statement says B.C.'s anti-gang unit has already identified Dhaliwal as a person who was a public safety risk because of his connection to gangs.

3 other people were arrested along with the two men charged, but police say the extent of their involvement is still being determined.

AFN national chief says Alberta separation cannot proceed without First Nations consent

The national chief of the Assembly of First Nations says any attempt by Alberta to separate from Canada would require the consent of First Nations and cannot proceed without respecting treaty rights. Speaking Tuesday at an AFN conference in Calgary, Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak described the province’s separatist movement as illegitimate and unconstitutional. She said Canada is founded on treaties between the Crown and First Nations, and those agreements would remain in force regardless of provincial political movements. “Canada is treaty territory,” Woodhouse Nepinak told delegates. “First

Alberta man charged in 1992 sexual assault case following DNA breakthrough

An Alberta man has been charged in connection with a sexual assault that took place more than 30 years ago in the eastern Alberta community of Two Hills.

Police say the investigation was reopened after a familial DNA match was identified in 2023. That development led officers to identify a potential suspect and obtain a warrant to compare his DNA wi
