Saskatchewan’s Minister of Advanced Education says one of his social media accounts has been hacked.

Ken Cheveldayoff posted to his Facebook account Thursday, saying his X (formerly Twitter) account was taken over, and inappropriate content was being shared.

Whoever accessed the MLA’s account, which has over 2,000 followers, changed its name to “XxX Porn,” and was sending out pornographic content.

Cheveldayoff says once he was made aware of the hack, he immediately contacted X to have the content removed.

“Please disregard anything from my X account until the problem has been resolved,” the MLA wrote in his Facebook post.

Cheveldayoff won his sixth consecutive MLA term in the 2024 general election. Following the election, he was named Minister of Advanced Education for the province.

One person has been charged in connection to an assault in downtown Regina that left a man with life-threatening injuries.

Officers first responded to the Regina General Hospital around 2 a.m. on Thursday for a report of a man who arrived suffering from serious injuries, according to a release from the Regina Police Service (RPS).

Investigation led police to the 1900 block of Lorne Street, where witnesses told officers an altercation led to a man being injured.

A 22-year-old man has since been charged with aggravated assault and failure to comply with a probation order. He made his first appearance in Regina Provincial Court on Friday morning.

As the investigation is ongoing, RPS is asking anyone with information related to the incident to contact them or Regina Crime Stoppers.

“As a result of continued investigation, an adult male was arrested in Esterhazy,” the RCMP wrote in their statement. “26-year-old Cory Smith from Esterhazy is charged with one count, theft over $5,000.”

Cory Smith appears as Esterhazy Minor Hockey Association’s recently removed treasurer in the organization’s meeting minutes.

According to the RCMP, Smith was released and is scheduled to appear in court in Esterhazy on Dec. 9, 2025.

In the meeting notes, Esterhazy Minor Hockey wrote that Smith voluntarily paid back $20,000, allowing the league to pay their outstanding fees and continue operations.

A 29-year-old man from La Ronge has been charged with arson in connection to a wildfire that spread across northern Saskatchewan, causing structure damage and evacuating several communities.

The fire, known as the Ditch 2 fire, started on May 26, in the Weyakwin area.

Fire investigators with the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency determined that the fire was human-caused, prompting Waskesiu RCMP to launch a criminal investigation.

As a result of the investigation, Jason Halkett was charged with one count of arson – damage to property.

Halkett was arrested on Aug. 27 by the Saskatoon Police Service in Saskatoon.

He appeared in Saskatoon Provincial Court on Thursday, Aug. 28.

The Regina Police Service (RPS) confirmed on Friday that the University of Regina Students’ Union (URSU) is under investigation due to possible misappropriation of funds.

The union has been embroiled in more than one battle with the University of Regina over the past month.

Back in April, URSU filed an injunction against the university for withholding fees and terminating the union’s fee collection agreement.

On July 30, that injunction was dismissed by a judge at Court of King’s Bench judge, due in part to URSU’s recent track record, including financial concerns.

According to court documents, the university’s security service received confidential information alleging systemic misappropriation of funds and other illegal activity involving URSU.

A new financial review of URSU was conducted in April, and the university has forwarded that information to law enforcement officials. Now those financial concerns have the organization under investigation.

“We need to know what the allegations are, because as far as we know we haven’t done anything wrong,” URSU general manager Aoun Muhammad said. “We get audited every year as well and have all these processes in place. So, if their claim is about the deficit, deficit happens in most organizations, so deficit is not an indication of wrongdoing.”

URSU was also served an eviction notice in mid-August by the U of R, where union staff were instructed to vacate the spaces that they occupied on campus.

The union is currently fighting this decision, arguing that its dissolution can only occur through a vote by membership, which has not happened.

The Regina Police Service told CTV News that since the investigation is ongoing, further details cannot be provided at this time.

URSU said they have not yet been in contact with the police but are happy to cooperate with the investigation.

A divided U.S. appeals court ruled on Friday that most of Donald Trump’s tariffs are illegal, undercutting the Republican president’s use of the levies as a key international economic policy tool.

The court allowed the tariffs to remain in place through Oct. 14 to give the Trump administration a chance to file an appeal with the U.S. Supreme Court.

The decision comes as a legal fight over the independence of the U.S. Federal Reserve also seems bound for the Supreme Court, setting up an unprecedented legal showdown this year over Trump’s entire economic policy.

Trump has made tariffs a pillar of U.S. foreign policy in his second term, using them to exert political pressure and renegotiate trade deals with countries that export goods to the United States.

The tariffs have given the Trump administration leverage to extract economic concessions from trading partners but have also increased volatility in financial markets.

Trump lamented the decision by what he called a “highly partisan” court, posting on Truth Social: “If these Tariffs ever went away, it would be a total disaster for the Country.”

He nonetheless predicted a reversal, saying he expected tariffs to benefit the country “with the help of the Supreme Court.”

In a statement to CTV News, White House spokesman Kush Desai said, “President Trump lawfully exercised the tariff powers granted to him by Congress to defend our national and economic security from foreign threats. The President’s tariffs remain in effect, and we look forward to ultimate victory on this matter.”

The 7-4 decision from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in Washington, D.C., addressed the legality of what Trump calls “reciprocal” tariffs imposed as part of his trade war in April, as well as a separate set of tariffs imposed in February against China, Canada and Mexico.

Democratic presidents appointed six judges in the majority and two judges who dissented, while Republican presidents appointed one judge in the majority and two dissenters.

The court’s decision does not impact tariffs issued under other legal authority, such as Trump’s tariffs on steel and aluminum imports.

‘Unusual and extraordinary’

Trump justified both sets of tariffs -- as well as more recent levies - under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. IEEPA gives the president the power to address “unusual and extraordinary” threats during national emergencies.

“The statute bestows significant authority on the President to undertake a number of actions in response to a declared national emergency, but none of these actions explicitly include the power to impose tariffs, duties, or the like, or the power to tax,” the court said.

“It seems unlikely that Congress intended, in enacting IEEPA, to depart from its past practice and grant the President unlimited authority to impose tariffs.”

The 1977 law had historically been used for imposing sanctions on enemies or freezing their assets. Trump, the first president to use IEEPA to impose tariffs, says the measures were justified given trade imbalances, declining U.S. manufacturing power and the cross-border flow of drugs.

Trump’s Department of Justice has argued that the law allows tariffs under emergency provisions that authorize a president to “regulate” imports or block them completely.

Trump declared a national emergency in April over the fact that the U.S. imports more than it exports, as the nation has done for decades. Trump said the persistent trade deficit was undermining U.S. manufacturing capability and military readiness.

Trump said the February tariffs against China, Canada and Mexico were appropriate because those countries were not doing enough to stop illegal fentanyl from crossing U.S. borders, an assertion the countries have denied.

More uncertainty

William Reinsch, a former senior Commerce Department official now with the Center on Strategic and International Studies, said the Trump administration had been bracing for this ruling. “It’s common knowledge the administration has been anticipating this outcome and is preparing a Plan B, presumably to keep the tariffs in place via other statutes.”

There was little reaction to the ruling in after-hours stock trading.

“The last thing the market or corporate America needs is more uncertainty on trade,” said Art Hogan, chief market strategist at B. Riley Wealth.

Trump is also locked in a legal battle to remove Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, potentially ending the central bank’s independence.

“I think it puts Trump’s entire economic agenda on a potential collision course with the Supreme Court. It’s unlike anything we’ve seen ever,” said Josh Lipsky, chair of international economics at the Atlantic Council.

The 6-3 conservative majority Supreme Court has issued a series of rulings favouring Trump’s second term agenda but has also in recent years been hostile to expansive interpretations of old statutes to provide presidents newly-found powers.

The appeals court ruling stems from two cases, one brought by five small U.S. businesses and the other by 12 Democratic-led U.S. states, which argued that IEEPA does not authorize tariffs.

The Constitution grants Congress, not the president, the authority to issue taxes and tariffs, and any delegation of that authority must be both explicit and limited, according to the lawsuits.

The New York-based U.S. Court of International Trade ruled against Trump’s tariff policies on May 28, saying the president had exceeded his authority when he imposed both sets of challenged tariffs. The three-judge panel included a judge who was appointed by Trump in his first term.

Another court in Washington ruled that IEEPA does not authorize Trump’s tariffs, and the government has appealed that decision as well. At least eight lawsuits have challenged Trump’s tariff policies, including one filed by the state of California.

As Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe prepares to go to China next week, he said he would like the federal government to drop its 100 per cent electric vehicle tariff on Beijing.

“From Saskatchewan’s perspective, I would say, ‘Yes, let’s remove the EV tariffs,’” he told reporters Tuesday.

But, he added, there’s a big caveat around making sure that Canada stays on good terms with the United States.

“We need to ensure that we are balancing off all the direct and indirect costs of (removing the EV tariff), because our largest canola market still remains to be the United States of America.”

Moe’s comments come as a Chinese tariff of nearly 76 per cent remains in force on Canadian canola seed, a measure that has slashed the value of one of Canada’s — and Saskatchewan’s — most valuable crops by millions.

Beijing’s duty on canola seed was seen as a response to Canada’s 100 per cent tariff on Chinese electric vehicles. China has also slapped Canada with 100 per cent duties on canola oil and meal.

Canada has justified its levies on Chinese EVs by arguing they protect planned investments at home. Canada’s move was in lockstep with then-U.S. president Joe Biden, who also slapped tariffs on Chinese EVs.

Asked how Canada could remove the electric vehicle tariff without angering President Donald Trump, Moe said there are sensitivities to consider.

“Herein lies the line that we need to walk,” he said.

Moe said the United States is the top importer of Canadian canola, followed by China. He added the path includes Canada expanding exports to China, while ensuring its trading relationship with the United States remains solid.

“That’s the challenge and it isn’t easy,” he said.

Moe is the latest Prairie premier to call for the removal of the EV tariff.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith told the audience of her provincewide call-in radio show Saturday that the duty should be scrapped.

“Figure out a way to normalize the relationship, find another way for us to be able to negotiate with our U.S counterparts, and keep those two relationships separate,” Smith said.

“I mean, we’re seeing Americans doing it. Americans are developing a separate trade relationship with China.”

Moe is slated to visit China next week on a trade mission and has invited Prime Minister Mark Carney and other federal ministers to join him.

He said Tuesday he’s still ironing out the details on which Chinese officials he plans to meet with.

The premier also hasn’t heard back on whether Carney or other Canadian ministers will be there, he added.

“We don’t want to be rude and we understand that we’re going to have to work together with our federal government to come to a resolution,” Moe said.

“Our goal is to advocate and get to the point where the prime minister and (Chinese President Xi Jinping) can come to an agreement.”

Saskatchewan Opposition NDP Leader Carla Beck told reporters earlier Tuesday the goal should be for China to remove its tariffs on all Canadian canola products.

“If that means putting the removal of EV tariffs on the table, then that’s something that we should look at,” Beck said.

The canola seed tariff came into force nearly a year after Beijing launched an anti-dumping probe into Canadian canola.

China’s Ministry of Commerce has argued Canadian canola companies were dumping the product into the Chinese market, hurting its domestic canola oil market.

Ottawa and farmers have denied dumping, saying exporters are following rules-based trade.

The federal government has given China until September, when the anti-dumping investigation formally ends, to make a final decision on the duties.

Ottawa has said it can extend the deadline by six months.

The canola industry contributed $43 billion to Canada’s economy last year and employed 200,000 people.

Over 500 new childcare spaces will be created at post-secondary institutions across Saskatchewan, thanks to a $10.8 million joint investment from the provincial and federal governments.

According to the province, 450 new childcare spaces will be created at Saskatchewan Polytechnic campuses in Regina, Prince Albert, Moose Jaw, and Saskatoon. Northlands College in La Ronge will also be home to 90 additional childcare spaces.

Saskatchewan Polytechnic President and CEO Larry Rosia said this will eliminate one of the barriers that many of its students’ face.

“Who hasn’t heard stories about children on waitlists for months and even years awaiting space? Well, today’s announcement will reduce that stress and that worry for families across our province,” he said on Wednesday.

The 540 spaces are meant to provide on-campus childcare for students, faculty and staff, and will also act as training sites for students seeking a career in the field of early childhood education.

Saskatchewan Minister of Education Everett Hindley told CTV News that access to early learning and childcare for Saskatchewan’s parents is crucial, as the demand for these spaces continues to grow.

“It is critical, we’re working very hard as a provincial government to, wherever we can, expand and create more childcare spaces across this province, and this is a perfect fit,” he said.

According to the Government of Saskatchewan, since the launch of the Early Learning and Childcare Agreement in 2021, Saskatchewan has created over 23,000 spaces. This put them well on their way to reaching the goal of 28,000 new spaces by March of 2026.

When it comes to the provincial government reaching a deal with the federal government to extend the $10-a-day daycare agreement, progress is said to have been made.

“We think there’s an opportunity to make some changes there and that’s why we want to be able to sit down and have our provincial officials reach out to their federal government counterparts on a regular basis to say, ‘Let’s have that conversation,’” Hindley said.

“Negotiations are underway as the minister alluded to,” said Secretary of State (Rural Development) Buckley Belanger. “These discussions will continue over the next several months. And I can assure you by 2026, we will have a new agreement in place. I’m fairly confident of that.”

As part of the expansion, the province said the investment will reserve 30 per cent of the new spaces for families facing barriers to access, including children with disabilities.

The investment will be provided through the federal Early Learning and Child Care (ELCC) Infrastructure Fund and the Canada-Saskatchewan Canada-Wide ELCC Agreement.
