One of two people killed in a house fire in Glace Bay, N.S., on Friday has been identified as 16-year-old Madison Kelly.
"She was fun loving. She had a big heart. She had the biggest heart," Vanessa Spencer, a close friend of the family, told CBC News on Saturday.
"No matter how much she was hurting, she always made people feel loved. She was a lovable kid. She was affectionate and she loved to give hugs."
Madison died in a fire in a second-storey apartment on Brookside Street just after 2 a.m. AT. She had been living there with a friend.
Cape Breton Police say another person died in the fire and one was taken to hospital with serious injuries. They have not been identified.
Spencer confirmed Madison's identity late Saturday. She lived with Spencer for two years after her mother, Angela, died of cervical cancer four years ago.
"I was in her life ever since she was a small baby. Her mother was actually my best friend," Spencer said.
Intelligence regarding foreign interference sometimes didn't make it to the prime minister's desk in 2021 because Canada's spy agency and the prime minister's national security adviser didn't always see eye to eye on the nature of the threat, according to a recent report from one of Canada's intelligence watchdogs.
