A petition is out calling for the Bathurst police officers involved in Michel Vienneau’s death to be tried. A preliminary inquiry was ruled to not prove the manslaughter case against Patrick Bulger and Mathieu Boudreau, but information from it hasn’t been released. You can sign the petition at Tazza Caffe and Liaisons Electroniques in Tracadie, with the Northern Light reporting a plan to bring it to Attorney General Serge Rousselle’s office.

Miramichi MLA talking trains
Miramichi MLA and Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Bill Fraser is in Ottawa and Montreal this week to meet with federal officials and officials of CN and Via Rail.
Fraser wants to get new infrastructure dollars for New Brunswick and secure the future of rail service in the province’s north.
The condition of the track prevents VIA passenger trains from travelling at high speeds, which means a one-way trip from Moncton to Campbellton takes about six hours; compared to a little over three hours by car.
