Very surprised that 2 were actually held over. Won't matter tho, they'll get 2x per day served in remand - and after the Gladue reports are in and the revolving door sentencing guideline kicks in, they'll be convicted and released for time served.
Just to go and find another scam and victims.

LOL - With the last name Trudeau could anyone doubt that she would be a “flight” risk?

Before I read the 6th word in the first sentence, I correctly filled in the blank. By the way, when is society going to get "reconciliation'?

Oh now I get it - all those “F Trudeau” flags were actually a criminal ploy to lure victims.
Here I thought it was repressed males attracted to our Prime Minister and compensating for it by yelling and driving rusted pickups.
