Re: Local newspaper stories
In the local paper today is a report about a youth offender with such a string of offences including guns, violence and breaches of multiple court orders that The Crown wants him sentenced as an adult on a couple of the latest convictions to get a more appropriate sentence than that available for a youth offender.
A Youth Advocate said his office's position has always been taken from the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, which he said maintains youth should not be tried as adults. So no hard rules or principles then. Except that one of theirs.

So you don't count the 2016 La Loche shootings as being such a case? The unsuccessful appeal was just on the news recently. Or did you mean in New Brunswick, specifically? It's probably more common than we think; crime is rampant.

If it's been 10 years in Moncton then that's got to be a great place to live. Smaller cities can have their crime statistics skewed by a few bad days and often youth crime is a big part of the total. I worked with a man who was murdered by a young offender (he did 3 years) and I was a bit put out.

But then, of course, we had the 3 mounties shot dead.

But then the door swings open, and...
4 hits and tried to drive the cop car away; that could be an event in the Florida Man Challenge.

Edit: 2 tasers before and 2 after, for clarity

Just 1 day in June BC Ambulance responded to 131 overdose calls in the province, a daily record, and about double the usual amount of overdose calls.

Re: Local newspaper stories
Just came across this in the Chronicle; smash-up in front of Oliver Supermarket. This is the place where I buy fruits and vegetables when I'm out there; wonderful people, wonderful produce. I like to buy 6 or so cases of fruit and bring them back to the prairies and give away peaches and cherries for a week. This accident, involving a truck loaded with cherries, luckily didn't cause a traffic jam.

Re: Local newspaper stories
I had to edit this for frustration. There's the picture of the smashed truck which has spilled it's cherries, (clearly visible on the road), and cars passing by. They are going to make cherry jam. The traffic is going to make jam by running over the cherries.
