There was a police chase. Some of the charges include: "possession of property obtained by crime, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, flight from a peace officer, resisting a peace officer, and failure to comply with a probation order."

We are paying a higher gas carbon adjuster charge now than we were before the Liberals came to power. Back then, the Provincial Liberals argued that the carbon adjuster charge on gas was too much - and an election promise was made to cut that charge. Now though, the charge is like double what it used to be. *the charge does fluctuate some, so don't quote me on exact numbers*
Other provinces have a carbon adjuster cost attached to their gas prices like we do, except not as high because they put a cap on how high it can go. Now there's hope that NB will get a cap going as well.

icymi: Prime Minister Carney announced some help for folks working in the lumber sector yesterday.
Right now almost 90 per cent of Canadian lumber exports goes to the United States, and all the tariff back-and-forth with the USA has been bad for the industry. |
Carney announced money (loans and grants) for companies that need cash to navigate the trade war. There are also plans to make the lumber industry less dependent on the USA moving forward.
