The provincial government is directing police to crack down on illegal cannabis operations, and Minister Scott Armstrong wants the Mi’kmaw on board. Although according to a statement from the assembly of Mi’kmaw Chiefs, they say this violates their treaty rights.

I wiped out at a crosswalk over the weekend by slipping on one of the recently painted sections when it was wet. Since then, I've been lamenting to some of my friends since I ended up with a big bruise on my knee, and they've also fallen or slipped on the painted crosswalks
