Over 4,500 grams of narcotics were seized by the RCMP in Norway House.

Almost 12 hours earlier, Mounties had started to initiate a traffic stop in the community when they saw the driver throw a bag out of the window. The bag was located, and was found to contain a large amount of cannabis.

 

All occupants of the vehicle, three males ages 24, 25 and 27, have been arrested with charges against them pending.

 

Lamont: RAAM Clinic's Are Just "Tiny Band-Aid's"

The leader of the Manitoba Liberal Party isn’t satisfied with the new Rapid Accesses to Addictions Medicine (RAAM) clinics.

 

Dougald Lamont spoke to Arctic Radio News, and said their limited hours of operation are unacceptable. He said that he’s not sure “if it even adds up to a full clinic being open” when you combine the hours of all RAAM clinics across the province.

 

The St Boniface MLA said that addicts aren’t just addicts “two hours a day, a couple of days a week”, and that they need full-time care available. He said that when someone is in withdrawal, experts have said that there might be just a brief window were a person is willing to come in for treatment and that if it doesn’t happen then, they might go back to using.

 

Lamont added that even if addicts are able to get to a RAAM clinic while it’s open the referrals made could be to private treatment centres, many of which could be too expensive.

Bindle: Not Promising Municipalities Share Of Weed Profit The Responsible Thing To Do

Despite pressure from municipalities to share a portion of revenue from the sale of cannabis, Thompson MLA Kelly Bindle says not making any commitments is the responsible thing to do.

 

In an email to Arctic Radio News, Bindle said that without knowing the revenue, the costs, trends, or predictability of supply, the Province cannot commit to spending unrealized profit anywhere.

 

He said that the Pallister Government is footing the bill for supply, testing, tracking, distribution, and many more areas of cannabis sales, in addition to sharing 25% of all revenue to the federal government.

 

Bindle added that the Province is taking the "responsible approach by waiting to see if there is any realized profit or not before making any spending commitments".

 

Construction On New Airport Could Start In 2019

Construction on a new airport could start as early as next summer.

 

That’s according to Curtis Ross, the president and CEO of the Thompson Regional Airport Authority, the guest at a recent Chamber of Commerce luncheon.

 

Ross said that one of the biggest obstacles will be funding, as they will be submitting an application by January 11th for $70M from the federal government.

 

The money would be coming from the disaster mitigation and adaptation fund, which is for entities impacted by climate and are key points of infrastructure.

 

Even though there are other bids for the money from the likes of Toronto and Edmonton, Ross said that Thompson has a leg up, as the infrastructure at the Thompson Airport has been noticeably compromised by the weather.

 

Ross is set to retire as the head of the airport authority at the end of 2019, though he says he will stay a part of the organization until the project is completed.

Opposition Says New RAAM Clinics Are Not Enough

The Pallister Government has recently opened five new Rapid Access to Addictions Medicine (RAAM) clinics, though the move is seen as note enough by the opposition.

 

Manitoba Liberal leader Dougald Lamont says that the RAAM clinics, including the one in Thompson, are just “pop-up clinics”, as they are only open for a few hours, a few days a week.

 

Lamont also said that the approach is the government “pretending to care”, while NDP leader Wab Kinew says that the clinics are “too little, too late”.

 

According to the Province, over 325 people have used the RAAM clinics since the first one opened in September, and Thompson MLA Kelly Bindle says that the new clinics
“provide services for patients, including treatment programs and primary care physicians” and that the government is working on developing an implementation plan to guide improvements of mental health and addictions services.
