Power has been restored to most of the New Brunswick homes that were in the dark this weekend after wet, heavy snowfall hit the region on Friday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
At a peak, around 40-thousand people were without power on Friday morning, with the Fredericton, Miramichi and Upper River Valley areas being hit the hardest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As of Saturday afternoon, roughly 35-hundred people in New Brunswick were still without power, with most getting power back by midday Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kelly Lamrock issued a report today that responds to recommendations from the No Child Left Behind report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lamrock says the unique challenges facing First Nations youth require dedicated funding and a process that empowers First Nations governments. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Nova Scotia N-D-P is calling on the Progressive Conservative government to permanently remove the H-S-T from groceries that aren’t already exempt from the tax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The New Democrats say many Nova Scotians are paying more than they can afford for essentials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
N-D-P Leader Claudia Chender says removing the H-S-T would put more money into the pockets of Nova Scotians ahead of the holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The federal government passed a bill in the House of Commons last week to implement a two-month tax holiday, and Chender says the P-C government should now remove the province’s portion of the tax on groceries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police in Newfoundland and Labrador are reminding people to take precautions to avoid having parcels stolen from their front porch this holiday season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary advises people to sign up for delivery alerts and have their packages sent to their work rather than their home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The police force says online shoppers should also look for options to schedule deliveries and to require a signature upon delivery for high-value items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
People can also get to know their neighbours, and have them pick up a package from the porch if the owner can\u2019t be home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
