  • High risk offender released: VPD

Police in Vancouver are warning the public that a high-risk offender has been released to a halfway house in the city.

Police say David Morin was released yesterday after being arrested earlier this week for violating the terms of his release.

Morin was originally convicted for a 2022 attack where he stabbed a stranger unprovoked inside a Tim Hortons in downtown Vancouver.

Police say he was granted statutory release in June after serving two years of his three-year sentence before being re-arrested.

Oil, gas companies told to cut emissions by one-third under planned cap
Oil and gas producers in Canada will be required to cut greenhouse gas emissions by about one-third over the next eight years under new regulations being published today by Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault. The regulations, still only in draft format and about two years behind schedule, could further strain relations between Ottawa and the Alberta government which recently launched a $7-million advertising campaign to "scrap the cap."
