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.''

Pierre Poilievre to vote against Carney government's spending bill

Canada's main opposition leader Pierre Poilievre has announced that he will vote against the Carney government's spending bill. This will be the first test for Prime Minister Mark Carney's minority government. Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre said that his party will vote against the Liberals' $486.9-billion spending bill on government programs and transfers. Poilievre said that the additional spending the government has sought approval from Parliament is not for investment, so his party is not going to support it. It is worth noting that the Liberals have 169 seats in the House of Com
