Police in Richmond investigating 'organized' meat theft after 39 cases
Police in Richmond, B.C., are investigating after a series of meat thefts from retail stores that they say may be "organized" crime. RCMP say that there have been 39 cases of reported theft of meat from stores across the city since December. While some of the thefts may be opportunistic, Mounties say the pattern and values involved suggest "potential organized activity" where the stolen meat is then resold. They are also warning consumers not to buy meat from unverified sources, since it may have been handled improperly or the meat may have experienced temperature changes that create potential risks. Police are also asking residents to be more vigilant while grocery shopping and to report anyone who may be acting suspiciously around the meat products.

The man getting things done for Doug Ford in the north
Meet Greg Rickford, Ontario’s Minister of Indigenous Affairs (and the guy basically running point on Ring of Fire economic and community partnerships). If ever a politician was custom-built for the job, it’s Greg — he’s like the Swiss Army knife of northern development. Check out this resume: He starts out as a nurse in Brantford, Ont., and heads north to deliver frontline healthcare in remote First Nations communities. Last December, Prime Minister Mark Carney and Premier Doug Ford inked a co-operation deal to get approvals moving with a “one project, one process, one decision” approach. “I never believed that the previous (provincial) government had any real substantive designs or intention to develop that region,” Greg reports.
