The largest drops since last year are in public disorder complaints, which are down by 300, provincial traffic violations, which are down by 282, and missing persons/requests to locate, which have decreased by 225. “The stats of 2021 are pretty much on pace with 2020,” Thompson RCMP detachment officer-in-charge Insp. Chris Hastie told the city’s recreation and community service committee members May 18. “There’s a noticeable decline in the number of public disturbance disorder reports, down about 300 between this year and last year. Overall, that works out to be three reports a day which, in the grand scheme of things, is not overly significant. I expect that when restrictions relax, within a couple of months that number will spike back up and normalize along the lines of 2019’s volume of reports.”

Investors cling to US ‘comfort blanket’ despite equity outflows
Investment Association data shows US equities witnessed net outflows of £1.6bn in Q1
Having seen inflows of close to £2.3bn in 2020, funds invested in US equities witnessed net outflows of £1.6bn in the first quarter of 2021, according to the Investment Association.
The bulk of those outflows took place in March, with the IA revealing investors redeemed a net £1.09bn from the IA North America sector. This made it the second least popular peer group behind Sterling Corporate Bond – which witnessed an outflow of £1.47bn for the month.
While some of this may be a result of profit taking following a very strong run for the US market, Laith Khalaf, financial analyst at AJ Bell Investments, says another factor may be at work.

Del. Ronnie Campbell, R-Rockbridge, and Lexington resident Mark Reed are vying for the Republican nomination in Virginiaâs House 24 district, which includes parts of Amherst County. Early voting already is underway in the June 8 primary.
Campbell, an Augusta County native and retired Virginia State Police trooper, has served the district since January 2019. He succeeded Ben Cline, current U.S. Rep., 6th District, who previously served in the role for 16 years. Reed, a military veteran, retired social services worker and child welfare reform advocate, publicly said he has spent more time in Amherst County campaigning than anywhere else.
Both candidates seek to maintain a Republican grip on the district that has leaned Republican for 38 years. Campbell said he has a âknownâ conservative voting record and has steadfastly held to those values as the stateâs legislature gained a Democratic majority in late 2019.
