Let me be the first to guess:
The victim is going to refuse to co-operate with police.

It was in progress, police constable saw it,
conviction. However, slap on the wrist, or deal the charge for info, who knows, those goofs will turn on each other just like they have been for so long. They'll breach, then get released by the JJP again, duh.

In a non-drug world, one would just get threatening letters and annoying phone calls from whomever ya owed money to. Just say no to drugs.

I love that moniker. The University Hospital of Northern British Columbia,Prince George.

What a mouth full. That name says it all about Government people who run these facilities. There was absolutley nothing wrong with the Pr Geo Regional Hospital, or PGRH. Why cant these fools leave things alone.

Maybe next we will have. The Bioenergy, Beetle Pellet, Medical Training, University of Northern British Columbia, Prince George. Or BBPMTUNBC

Palopu, I believe the name had something to do with the hospital qualifying for certain funding. i.e. Even though it is a goofy name, it was a purely a business decision.

Impressive title for a glorified walk in clinic.
