A new Tire and Rubber Association of Canada survey shows Atlantic Canadians are using winter tires in record numbers. 81% of us put them on now, with a 2014 poll showing 73%. Among those not using winter tires, 40% say they don’t drive enough during the season, 19% believe all-seasons are good enough and 5% point to cost.

Matricide verdict
A Charlotte County man has been found guilty of matricide.
The Telegraph-Journal reports 36 year old Mathew Linus Tucker shot his mother, Dorothy, in the face with a shotgun in her Oak Bay home in November 2014. His lawyer says Tucker was suffering from a diminished or impaired mental state but the jury rejected that argument and found him guilty of second degree murder.
Tucker faces an automatic life sentence and a sentencing hearing will be held December 13th to determine how long he must serve before being eligible for parole.
