Canadian Manhunt: Police continue the search for Bryer Shmegelsky and Kam McLeod 

Police in Manitoba continue the manhunt for Bryer Shmegelsky and Kam McLeod, the Port Alberni teenagers wanted for the murders of three people in northern B-C over two weeks ago. RCMP have set up a roadblock in the town of Sundance and searched the forest near the abandoned community, which is 57 kilometres northeast of Gillam.

This comes a day after the RCMP Dive team ended its search of the Nelson River north of Gillam, after a damaged aluminum boat was found along the shoreline last Friday. As well, police are reportedly going over surveillance video from fast food restaurants in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, after possible sightings there.

Chapter 6

What’s the deal with thank you notes in 2019? 

Shower gifts

Even though the gift giver attended the shower in your honor and you had a chance to say thanks for her gift, you should still send a written note.

Wedding gifts

Each wedding gift should be acknowledged with a written note within three months of receipt of the gift. It’s best to write the notes as soon as possible after gifts arrive, however. Write a note even if you have thanked the giver in person.

Congratulatory gifts or cards

Anyone who sends a present, or a card with a personally written message, should receive a note in return.

Gifts received during an illness

Thank-you notes should be written as soon as the patient feels well enough—or a friend or relative can write the notes to acknowledge the gifts. It’s also okay to call or email close friends rather than write. The important point is to be sure the gift is acknowledged in a timely fashion, not to create a burden for the person who is ill or recovering.

Condolence notes or gifts

Everyone who has sent a personal note, flowers, or a donation should get a written thank-you. A close friend or relative can write the notes on the recipient’s behalf.

Public safety minister announces steps to combat online child sexual abuse

Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale says provincial and municipal police forces will receive $15 million to combat the exploitation of children online. The Liberal government committed about $22 million over three years to the cause in this year's federal budget, and are detailing how the majority of the spending will go to local police internet child exploitation units.

The rest of the money will go towards raising awareness, strengthening the judicial system and engaging with online companies to make sure their platforms do not host child pornography and related content.
