Police in New Westminster say a 24-year-old man has pleaded guilty to charges related to a 2019 shooting that sent a woman to hospital.

They say Carlos Monteith has remained in custody since his arrest after the November 2019 that injured the woman.

Police say Monteith pleaded guilty this month to charges of discharging a firearm with intent and possession of a loaded prohibited firearm.

They say he was sentenced to six-and-a-half years on the first charge and three years on the second.

Final recall petitions against Alberta UCP MLAs fall short, Elections Alberta says

The remaining recall petitions targeting members of Alberta’s governing United Conservative caucus have failed to meet the required threshold, according to Elections Alberta.

The outcome means all recall efforts launched since late last year against Premier Danielle Smith and members of her United Conservative Party caucus have either been withdra

Jason Kenney to debate Alberta separatism in May events

The first debate is scheduled for May at a member-only conference hosted by Civitas Canada, a conservative non-profit, in Edmonton. Conference materials say both sides share a goal of “economic fairness for Alberta,” with Kenney and lawyer Keith Wilson debating whether staying in or leaving Canada best allows the province to “fulfil their destiny.” A second debate is planned for Calgary
