    This is for Mindyourownbusiness, i grew up with parents in n out of jail, family members in the drug and sex trade, being abused mentally and physcially my whole life. I am now 26 with a child, i put my self through univeristy and i have my own home and life. You can not give that excuse about the 19 yrs old growing up through hard times so she decided to sell drugs!!! those are excuses, my younger brother just passed recently when some young boy dt gave him a pill to get high knowing it was a dirty one! she has her own mind and can speak for herself. she knew what she was doing and didnt care until now that she is caught!! sooo sick of hearing women whine when they get busted for something. Everything is a chose and an option, not a have to kinda deal. grow up and be realistic! hope she gets just as long as the man arrested!!

    My question for you mr.power is do you have ANY idea as to who this young girl is? Or do you have any idea what this girl has been through in her life? I don't think so.. However I DO! You don't know facts, you don't know details pertaining to this case only what has been portrayed in this article as well as news reports. Which lets be real media tends to make everything bigger then what it is. From a legal stand point I suggest you not make comments regarding the "great future for a 19 year old, who's is already know to police" how many people in this city can honestly say they have never had a run in with the police for one thing or another? I have and I turned out great. Graduated top of my class with a business degree and I'm half way through law.. So before you or anyone else wants to flap your lips learn the facts!

      You claim to know this 19 year old and claim to have an intimate understanding of the trails and tribulations she has gone through and all you've done to date is....what exactly?? Have you helped get out of any destructive patterns or addictions or you just a firm believer that to become anything in life you need to get arrested first??? Let me gues...you training to become a defence lawyer because there is no way a logical prosecutor would every agree with your claims.

    There must be a way to prevent them from bringing it in. How many points of entry do we have to this province?? I am guessing they bring it in by car so put more RCMP at PAB!!!!

    Here are two of the replacements drug dealers and mules, for the ones who are already in jail, awaiting trail and sentencing. Great future for a 19 year old, who is already know to police.
