A large number of civil servants gathered in Saint John on the weekend to protest the Federal government’s flawed payroll system…and the slow response in fixing it.
Many employees have gone months with only partial wages…some weren’t getting their oay at all. Some members of the Public Service Alliance of Canada are now asking for compensation for damages on top of the money their owed.
An eight hour standoff near downtown Moncton ended peacefully yesterday with the arrest of a man and woman.
It all began with a report of shots being fired at a pickup on High Street near Mountain Road around 7:30 in the morning. RCMP arrived, evacuated neighbours and blocked off the street. Then the negotiators came in and a man and woman surrendered peacefully about 8 hours later.
No word on the charges facing the 25 year old man and 26 year old woman.
