Policing

Cops need help finding drug dens

FREDERICTON - Local police are hoping to stamp out neighbourhood drug houses.

They say it often takes residents near drug houses to alert police. Police are creating a complaint form and will protect the privacy of individuals who call with their suspicions.

N.L. premier's stance dismissed

FREDERICTON - Newfoundland Premier Danny Williams doesn't have a constitutional leg to stand on when it comes to fighting the sale of NB Power to Hydro-Quebec in court, says a Fredericton constitutional law professor. University of New Brunswick Prof. Carissima Mathen says that constitutional challenges usually involve disputes between a province and the federal government, not two provinces. "I am not aware of any precedent for a (constitutional) challenge of this nature," she says.
