Des agents du bureau de Russell de la Police provinciale de l’Ontario (PPO) ont arrêté un homme de Cornwall en possession de cannabis illégal. Le 2 avril dernier, vers 12 h 15, un agent a arrêté un véhicule suspect qui se dirigeait vers l’est, sur l’autoroute 417, près de la sortie de Casselman. L’enquête a révélé que le conducteur, Joey Markus Seguin, âgé de 24 ans et natif de Cornwall, avait enfreint la loi sur le cannabis en Ontario, ce qui a entraîné une fouille de son véhicule. Celle-ci a permis au policier de découvrir près de 5000 paquets contenant chacun un gramme de cannabis
Students all across Prescott-Russell left their classrooms and marched outside to join a province-wide student protest, April 5, against the Ford Progressive Conservative government’s cuts to education programs. “Our education! Our choice!” chanted about a hundred or more students from Vankleek Hill Collegiate as they gathered on the sidewalk outside of their school, along Highway 34 through the village. Several VCI staff were on hand as chaperones, though the student walkout did not have the official sanction of the Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB). «It’s a good thing for them to do,» said one unidentified OPP officer. «To be able to express themselves in a safe manner.» VCI students waved banners at passing vehicles and cheered drivers who honked their horns to show their support for the protesters. Down the road at Pleasant Corners Public School, almost four dozen students from Grades 7 and 8 also marched outside, under staff supervision, to show their solidarity with their older counterparts. “Some know it’s about education cuts,” said one of the Pleasant Corners school
