COBOURG — Sgt. Brandon Malcolm was a respected police officer whose life was "taken far too soon" while on duty in a highway crash east of Toronto, said Ontario Provincial Police commissioner Thomas Carrique on Monday.

COBOURG — Sgt. Brandon Malcolm was a respected police officer whose life was "taken far too soon" while on duty in a highway crash east of Toronto, said Ontario Provincial Police commissioner Thomas Carrique on Monday. "Hearts are broken," Carrique told a news conference. Officers were called earlier in the day to reports of a single-vehicle collision involving a motorcycle on Highway 401 in Cobourg. Malcolm, who joined the OPP in 2020, was pronounced dead at the scene. Carrique said Malcolm was an accomplished member who took part in the police service's Golden Helmets motorcycle team. The team travels the province putting on shows at fairs, festivals and parades -- showcasing "superb riding skills." "His career goal was to become a police officer," he said. "I will be forever grateful to him for his service. He has been taken far too soon under such tragic circumstances." In an online statement, David Sabatini, president of the Ontario Provincial Police Association, said Malcolm's death is a reminder of the dangers police face. Ontario Premier Doug Ford also wrote on social media that his thoughts were with Malcolm's loved ones. Investigators are looking into the circumstances of the crash. Carrique said while it's early, there's no evidence to suggest another vehicle was involved. Highway 401 remains closed in both directions between Cobourg and Port Hope. Anyone with further information, including witnesses or those with video footage, is asked to contact the OPP. This report by The Canadian Press was first published April 27, 2026.

OTTAWA — The Royal Canadian Mint says it has initiated a full review in response to allegations some of its gold comes from a region of Colombia where drug cartels control mines.

OTTAWA — The Royal Canadian Mint says it has initiated a full review in response to allegations some of its gold comes from a region of Colombia where drug cartels control mines. Mint spokesperson Deneen Perrin says as soon as the mint learned of the allegations raised by the New York Times newspaper, it "immediately and fully" suspended the refining of any material from the supply chain in question. In a report published Monday, the newspaper suggests some of the mint's gold comes from Colombian mines controlled by the Clan del Golfo drug cartel. The report says that before the Colombian gold arrives in Canada, a Texas intermediary mixes it with American gold and that the mint considers the resulting mix to be entirely North American. Perrin says that of the more than five million ounces of rough gold refined by the mint last year, mixed material accounted for five per cent of total volumes. She says the mint continuously reviews its business dealings and if an issue is found, as in this instance, it takes immediate action.

The high-risk overdose alert will continue in the Queen City after 29 overdoses, and three deaths from suspected overdoses in the city between April 24 and 26, according to the Saskatchewan Ministry of Health. Earlier this month Regina Fire and Protective Services and Regina’s only safe consumption site, Newo-Yotina Friendship Centre, reported an elevated number of overdoses since April 1, with many requiring multiple doses of naloxone, which treats opioid overdoses.

From April 1 to April 22, 140 overdose-related calls were recorded, the ministry said in an earlier statement, with a number of patients needing multiple doses of naloxone. “Multiple calls have resulted in unconsciousness, and cardiac arrest, requiring CPR and advanced emergency medical treatment,” the ministry said. In its April 27 alert, the ministry said several samples tested by the friendship centre were found to contain both fentanyl and benzodiazepines. It warned there could be other unknown substances circulating throughout the city and that naloxone only counters the effects of opioids. The latest overdose alert will expire on May 4. The city of Saskatoon also issued an overdose alert earlier this month after the closure of the city’s only supervised consumption site. In that alert, the Saskatoon Fire Department said it had responded to more than 150 overdose-related calls from April 1 to April 12. Symptoms of an overdose can include slow or no breathing, gurgling, gasping, or snoring, clammy and cool skin, blue lips or nails and difficulty waking up or staying awake. The Saskatchewan government provides free Naloxone kits and training on how to administer it to anyone at risk of an opioid overdose, as well as to anyone who might witness an overdose. The training also covers overdose prevention, recognition and response. A list of places where the free kits are available can be found online. Emergency departments across the province also carry the kits, and they can be purchased at some pharmacies as well.

• If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction you can call the National Overdose Response Service at 1-888-688-6677. This toll-free, 24-hour hotline aims to prevent deadly overdoses by connecting people who are alone and using drugs with peer volunteers who can call for help if needed.
