Suspects purchased alcohol in Montreal, shipped it to Nunavik to be resold at higher priceIn February 2020, the Kativik Regional Police Force seized more than $55,000 worth of illegal drugs and alcoholic beverages in connection to the network. A series of 14 searches that year resulted in the seizure of 180 bottles of spirits, over $118,000 and large amounts of narcotics.
The Sûreté du Québec made the arrests Wednesday morning with help from the Kativik Regional Police Force through a project dubbed "Plutonium." Police say between 2016 and 2020, the network purchased nearly 43,000 bottles of alcohol and resold them for an estimated total of more than $8 million.
Suspect purchased vaccines and forced people to take more than the two required
Aren’t there any legal liquor stores up there? I don’t get it.🤔
Where is the crime?
You expect free shipping ?
Business
This should not be a crime. This legal product, purchased legally, with taxes paid, what someone does with it after that is none of government's business. But that would mean people had liberty, can't have that.
What is that.. Justin Trudeau calls parliament members Nazis.. trashnews
It’s called bootlegging cbc.
They constantly attempt to do this for money. Alcohol could be avoided if youth are taught of drugs and alcohol before hand because one stitch does indeed save ten.
Cause ripping off northerners is the governments job. Asshole capitalists trying cut in on a good thing.
The question should be why is booze so expensive in Nunavik?
The state liquor store won't allow this. Right, cbc? (Alcohol is a poison. Science says. You are free to choose your poison. Or not!)
You have to participate in the financialization of society to be allowed to participate in arbitrage.
that's fine

François Legault says Trudeau's invoking of Emergencies Act 'not necessary' in Quebec | CBC NewsQuebec Premier Francois Legault says he understands why the federal Emergencies Act might be useful in other parts of the country, but he feels applying the measure in Quebec right now would be divisive Too bad, it's necessary to make sure we have no more border blockades. If the provinces would've done their job rather than enabling the protesters we wouldn't be where we are now. Watching over from the UK and can't believe what I'm seeing in Canada. I thought this was a 'liberal' PM Wouldn't look out of place in China this move. No wrong! They both understand their tyrannical orders or no money for poison injection sales!

Death of Pierre Coriolan shows police lack training, Quebec coroner finds | CBC NewsA report by Coroner Luc Malouin into the 2017 death of the 58-year-old, who was shot and killed by Montreal police in his apartment building while in the midst of a mental-health crisis, found that officers lack sufficient training in de-escalation and communication techniques. Clearly the police should have arrived with a selection of specialty coffees and pastries for Perry Como and any friends flitting about. They don't lack training, they shouldn't be the people dealing with health emergencies point blank. But we don't have a functioning public healthcare in Quebec anymore, it hasn't been working well for the entirety of my young life.

Why the bridge blockade hit at a bad time for Canada's economy | CBC NewsThe timing of the bridge blockade in Windsor, Ont., couldn't be more awkward for Canada's economy. It comes at a historic moment for the auto industry, and U.S. lawmakers are looking for reasons to 'Buy American.' Here's what industry and political insiders expect will happen next. The selfish think the only they can achieve well-being is by taking it away from others. Fearing others as ruthless competition, the cowards run from compassion's courage so are incapable of growth and seeing that the common good, the well-being of all, includes their well-being.
