Uproar continues over judge’s comments

The furor over comments by a Halifax judge last week in acquitting a man of sexual assault continues…and it’s not just online.

A small group of people gathered at the library yesterday to hand write letters demanding a judicial council review of Judge Gregory Lenehan. The Judicial council has already received other formal complaints.

Marches are scheduled for tomorrow and Wednesday following the ruling by Judge Gregory Lenehan (Len-ah-HAN’).

Ottawa dealing with American refugees

The Trudeau Government is concerned this winter’s relative trickle of refugees from the U-S crossing the border to seek asuylum will turn into a flood in the spring.

Ottawa will be holding in-depth discussions this week on how to handle the practical and political fallout from the rising numbers of refugees seeking to escape Donald Trump’s America.  Cabinet will consider giving the Immigration Department more resources.

Conservatives want the government to crack down on the refugees. About 200 have braved a prairie winter to cross from Minnesota and North Dakota into Manitoba since the beginning of the year.
