Another murder

Another young man has been gunned down on the streets of Halifax.

Police were called to Gottingen and Falkland Streets last night around 10:47pm, where they found a 22 year old man who had been shot in a car. He was taken to hospital where he later died. A suspect may have been seen running after the shooting and then fled in a car.

Major Crime Unit is investigating.

Nova Scotia exempted from federal coal phase out deadline

A new federal timetable to phase out coal-fired electrical generation in Canada by 2030 includes an exemption for Nova Scotia.

Federal Environment Minister Catherine McKenna says the agreement gives the province the flexibility it needs to shift directly from fossil fuels to clean sources of electricity. It also recognizes work the province has already done to reduce greenhouse gases.

Provincial officials said they can’t provide the economic impact on consumers yet.
