Private Shaun Farrell
Farrell, a member of the 3rd Battalion Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry based at Edmonton, was from Prince Albert, Sask.
In a social media post, his mother asked for privacy as the family navigates "this profound loss."
"We want to thank everyone for your love, support, and prayers during this incredibly difficult time," said Patricia Farrell.
She also posted a photo of her smiling son in uniform, standing by a pickup truck. "Love you my darling child."
Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe said flags in the province would be lowered to half-mast in Farrell's memory.
"Shaun was a young man full of promise who chose to serve his country. His loss will be felt deeply by his family, friends, fellow service members, and all who knew him," Moe said in a statement.
"To Shaun's family, to the families of the other fallen service members, and to everyone carrying the weight of this loss today, please know that Saskatchewan stands with you, and that you are in our prayers in the difficult days ahead."

Private Aidan Goulding
The 23-year-old, of North Vancouver, was also a member of the 3rd Battalion Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry.
His family said he was an exceptional athlete and, after high school, became a mechanic.
He later quit to join the army.
"Although he was making excellent money and had a good life, he decided he wanted to defend his country. His goal was to work for Special OPs and then onto CSIS," his mother, Sonia Monk, and older brother, Wylder Goulding, said in a statement.
"He was the guy that kept people's spirits up, a contagious laugh and a cheeky smile, he took his role in the army seriously, and our family and his dear friends have suffered a great loss."
They said he loved his adopted new army family and was looking forward to peacekeeping in Latvia.
"Before he went to basic training, he said, ‘I know I have one life to live, and I’m gonna make the best out of it.' That was our Aidan."

Voici de combien pourrait augmenter ton loyer au Québec en 2023
Assure-toi d'être informé pour éviter une trop grosse hausse. 😳
Ce n'est pas un secret pour personne, les loyers au Québec ont augmenté de façon importante dans les deux dernières années. Selon une étude du Regroupement des comités logements et associations de locataires du Québec (RCLALQ) publié le 26 juin dernier, entre 2021 et 2022, le prix des locations de logement au Québec a bondi de 9 % en moyenne dans la province.
Le Tribunal administratif du logement du Québec (TAL) a sorti, ce 17 janvier 2023, le calcul des coûts que les propriétaires devront prendre en compte pour déterminer le loyer en 2023. Il est donc judicieux de vérifier celui-ci afin de t'assurer que ton proprio agisse de façon juste et équitable lors du renouvellement de bail en mars prochain.
Selon les proportions observées par le TAL, si un locataire paye un loyer hypothétique de 1 000 $ par mois pour son domicile non chauffé, celui-ci devrait maintenant payer 1 023 $ en raison d'une augmentation de 2,3 % en 2023. Si les taxes municipales se devaient d'augmenter d'environ 5 %, celui-ci passerait alors à 1 029 $.
Les locataires d'un appartement chauffé à 1 000 $ par mois pourraient aussi voir leur loyer hausser de manière plus importante, et ce, en fonction de leur source de chauffage. Ainsi, si le logement est chauffé au mazout, l'augmentation serait de 7,3 %, si celui-ci est plutôt à l'électricité il pourrait atteindre une hausse de 2,8 % et pour le gaz de 4,5 %.
Autre élément qui peut être pris en compte? Si le ou la propriétaire du logement a effectué des rénovations majeures dans la dernière année. Pour un investissement de 5 000 $ par exemple, le loyer monterait alors à 1 045 $.
Sache aussi que tous.tes locataires ont le droit de refuser une augmentation s'ils ou elles la considèrent injustifiée : « Dans le cas où les deux parties n'arrivent pas à s'entendre sur l'augmentation du loyer (ou sur toute autre modification au bail), le locateur devra, dans le mois qui suit la réponse de refus du locataire, s'adresser au Tribunal administratif du logement pour faire une demande de modification du bail ».
À noter qu'il existe un outil de calcul d'augmentation de loyer bien pratique pour les résident.es et les proprios.
