Mounties in B-C are recommending numerous charges against an Edmonton man after a drug seizure at a Canadian border crossing in Surrey.
The Canada Border Services Agency says the driver was arrested and officers seized roughly 65 kilograms of cocaine at the crossing last July after a detector dog raised the alarm during a commercial truck examination.
The truck was carrying a shipment of dried goods bound for Calgary.
The 74-year-old victim was standing at a bus stop near Main and Keefer streets at 5:30 a.m. when a stranger walked up behind her and pushed her to the ground. The woman was taken to hospital for non-life-threatening injuries.
VPD officers, who had been patrolling the area after reports of a group of teens knocking over planters and kicking doors, located the injured victim, then arrested the suspects nearby.
45 year old Norvie Nativdad of New Westminster has been charged with Possession of Stolen Property Over $5000, Breach of Undertaking Order, Breach of Release Order, and Unauthorized use of credit card.
B.C.'s Emergency Management Minister Bowinn Ma says the province reached out to Public Safety Canada on Monday morning, just hours after the quake, because such emergency assistance needs to be co-ordinated.
While he didn't give a specific time for his departure, he suggested St. Patrick's Day on March 17 might be a good day to go. Horgan, who's 63, has twice battled cancer, and announced last June that health reasons were forcing him to retire from the premier's job after five years.
A report from the office of B.C.'s auditor general says the audit found "full care plans" were completed for fewer than half of 92 sample clients jailed in eight of the province's 10 institutions between January 2019 and December 2021.
