Trial for couple accused of drug smuggling begins
Poll
Yes
A jury trial has begun for a husband and wife who are accused of trying to smuggle drugs into Alberta more than three years ago.
The Court of Queen’s Bench trial for Gurminder and Kirandeep Toor began Monday at the Yates Memorial Centre, where jury trials are being held to ensure social distancing during the COVID pandemic.
The couple was charged Dec. 2, 2017 after a man and woman hauling a commercial load of produce from California to Alberta were stopped at the Coutts border.
Border officers searched the cab of the truck and found 84 bricks of cocaine weighing 99 kilograms, considered at the time to be the largest cocaine seizure recorded by the Canada Border Services Agency in Alberta’s history.

IN the aftermath of the smoke that last year blanketed Canberra and the freak hail storm that damaged nearly 45,000 vehicles, dedicated member of Canberra MG Car Club Malcolm Robertson had come to a hard realisation.
“Our favourite hobby, driving MGs, unfortunately contributes to Australia’s overall emissions,” he said.
“It’s time we did something about it.”
In what he believes will be the first for a motoring club in Australia, Malcolm has instigated a new program that will aim to offset the MG club’s carbon emissions.

Iskander dan Feisal will continue to produce high-quality films with a low budget
21 Jan – Young producer and director Iskander Azizuddin and Feisal Azizuddin are of the opinion that the guidelines of the Film Censorship Board of Malaysia (LPF) need to be revamped and updated as they are no longer relevant for the current times.
According to Feisal Azizuddin, co-founder and producer of Feisk Productions, these guidelines by LPF are not keeping up with the times and hence, are a hindrance to the creative processes of young filmmakers and indie makers. What I can say is that these existing guidelines by LPF are stale and are no longer relevant for these current times. It becomes an obstacle to young filmmakers and indie makers to be creative because they need to adhere to the very strict guidelines which at the same time, halt their creative thoughts in producing their work.
RANTOUL â Village Administrator Scott Eisenhauer said he will wait a few weeks before bringing up the subject the University of Illinois football team coming back to town for Camp Rantoul.
Started a few decades ago by former coach Ron Turner, Camp Rantoul was home to August practices each year in preparation for the season until it head coach Lovie Smith halted it in 2016.
With Smith gone and former Wisconsin and Arkansas coach Bret Bielema now at the Illini helm, the question is whether the new coach will want to resume the camp.
If he does, it will likely be at new facilities.
