Fishing shacks have to be off the ice next week

The province has ordered fishermen to get their ice fishing shacks off the ice earlier than usual.

Normally the shacks have to be ashore by March 31st…but the Environment Department has shortened the season this year because of the mild weather to March 13th in the south.  Several shack owners in Rothesay have already taken steps to avoid losing their property and moved them to the shore.

Organigram promises vigorous defence against lawsuit

Organigram says it will vigorously defend itself against a class-action lawsuit. The medical marijuanna producer in Moncton is being sued by former customers who bought cannabis which contained pesticides.

Organigram issued a statement yesterday saying it has hired a lawfirm specializing in defence against class-action lawsuits, according to the Times and Transcript. It also says it has been in constant communication with its clients about the recall of the tainted product and most are accepting account credits for the bad product.

Halifax lawyer Ray Wagner, who launched the class-action, says his clients are not interested in account credits. They want cash refunds because they have no intention of going back to Organigram.
