The investigation, published in May 2017, exposed shortcomings in the province’s probation system and limitations faced by probation officers. Kyle McLauchlan was featured in the investigation.

But according to an investigation by Global’s Carolyn Jarvis, McLauchlan may once again be breaking the conditions of his probation.

The opposition New Democrats say Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has broken a promise to Canadians to restore door-to-door delivery of mail to the roughly 840-thousand households who lost the service under a community mail conversion program introduced by the former Harper government.

The town of Davos, Switzerland is — for about 50 weeks of the year — a pleasant ski village nestled in the country’s famous Alps. It’s not the cheapest place for a family vacation, but plenty of Swiss nationals and foreign tourists flock there regardless, willing to pay the somewhat premium prices that are typical of ski resort towns like Quebec’s Mont Tremblant or B.C.’s Whistler.

Residents in southeastern B-C have endured ongoing problems with habituated bear and deer, but the latest problem comes from a bird not even native to the province….wild turkeys.
