According to the Gazette, 35 year-old Justin Bresaw was arrested in Tallahasee, Florida early Sunday morning. He was found charging his laptop at an electrical outlet behind a church. He resisted arrest and left 2 officers with a broken nose.

The man is the suspect in a deadly house fire that killed two men and one woman in Amos, Quebec located 500 kilometres north of Montreal.

Bresaw has been on the run since September 17th and has been on Canada's most wanted list since then.

He was booked at a Florida county jail and faces additional charges of violence and battery.

The list of beef products incoming from Alberta grew once again on Thursday.

In a report by the Gazette, The Canadian Food Inspection Agency added a dozen of products sold across the country to the long list of recalled beef.

The beef in question came from an XL Foods plant located in Alberta. The plant was the centre of a recent E. coli outbreak.

Opposition MPs have been hammering the Tori government all week in its handling of what’s now known as the largest food recall in Canada. They said that funding cuts to the CFIA made the problems worse.

The recalls began on September 16^th and have since grown to include more than 1500 beef products sold in Canada and the US.

After the first Presidential Debate between Republican Candidate Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama, the vote is in that Romney outshined Obama.

On Romney's agenda was Obama's future economic plan and criticizing what the President has done so far with the United States` economy. Romney pointed out that Obama has failed to reduce the country's $16-trillion deficit and claimed that Obama`s economic plan will, in the long-run, hurt small businesses. Romney promised to create tax-cuts thst will help the middle-class and create more jobs for the 23 million Americans out of work.

Obama kept his cool during Romeny's attack, and stated that Romney's tax-cuts will actually increase the deficit instead of reducing it.

Memorable quotes from last night's speech include Romney stating that he will cut any programs that increase government spending, like PBS, home to the children's show Sesame Street. Romney stated, "I'm not going to keep spending on things we need to borrow money from China to pay for." Obama blamed the country's deficit on former president George W. Bush Jr. who stared two wars and paid for them on a credit card.
