Bombardier Patrick Labrie, a six-year veteran of the Canadian Forces based out of CFB Petawawa, died from injuries sustained while parachuting near a southern Bulgarian village last month.
Military police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the death of Labrie, who was originally from Buckingham, Que. The military said in a release Friday there would be a ceremonial gun salute at 12:30 p.m., with 36 blank rounds fired by 12 soldiers "as a mark of respect for their brother in arms."
Streets were closed from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. Saturday in the Buckingham area while a military procession ran from a local legion branch to the St. Gregory of Nazianze parish. Officials say Labrie was performing a low-altitude night jump from a Canadian military aircraft during a multinational training exercise on June 17.

Canadian airlines ask appeal court to quash new passenger rights rulesCanadian airlines are among hundreds of carriers asking the Federal Court of Appeal to quash new rules that beef up compensation for passengers subjected to delayed flights and damaged luggage. I wonder why? Not surprising. They have a lot to learn and a long way to go when it comes to customer service and satisfaction Sorry airlines, the court is overbooked. Your case was bumped until all violent criminal cases have been heard.
