Police in Surrey say they arrested a man yesterday for ramming a police vehicle.

Surrey Mounties say they got a call about a suspicious vehicle around 146 Street and 108 Avenue, and the driver of a Ford S-U-V allegedly hit a police vehicle as it fled from officers.

Surrey R-C-M-P says the S-U-V also hit another vehicle that was stopped and later drove into oncoming traffic as police were in pursuit.

Mounties say they found the S-U-V at King George and 108 Avenue, and the driver ran away on foot before being hit with a Taser and arrested, facing potential charges of flight from police, dangerous driving and assaulting police officers

Feds release carbon pricing impact data as cost debate rages

Canada's greenhouse-gas emissions will be 12 per cent lower in 2030 with carbon pricing in place than they would be if it was scrapped, new federal data published Thursday suggest. The data also show that the pricing system for consumers and big industry in place could cause Canada's GDP to take a $25-billion hit at the end of the decade — 0.9 per cent below what it would be without the carbon price.
