New Brunswick’s legislature will soon turn red

New Brunswick’s legislative assembly building will be illuminated in red this weekend.

The red lighting marks 50 days to go until the year-long celebration of Canada’s 150th anniversary of Confederation.

The legislative building is just one of many landmarks across the country that will be illuminated in red to celebrate the historic countdown.

Comments after the verdict in the New Brunswick snake case

Jean-Claude Savoie’s lawyer is unhappy with how the New Brunswick RCMP handled the investigation into his client.

Les Matchim said they put in writing that Savoie wouldn’t be charged early in the process if he answered their questions.

The former Campbellton man was acquitted of criminal negligence causing the deaths of Connor and Noah Barthe in 2013, after a python escaped its enclosure while the boys were sleeping over.
