Portugal charges 89 Hells Angels

Supreme Court of Canada rejects Joshua Petrin’s appeal - White Boy Posse

Petrin ordered a hit against a former gang member who left the White Boy Posse without notice. The two killers were sent to a wrong address.

The Supreme Court of Canada will not hear an appeal from convicted killer Joshua Petrin. Petrin was convicted in November 2016 of first-degree murder in the killing of Lorry Santos, an innocent mother who was shot at her Saskatoon home on Sept. 12, 2012.

The Saskatchewan Court of Appeal dismissed Petrin’s appeal in December 2018. Petrin is also serving a 20-year concurrent sentence for the 2008 shooting death of Mitchell Chambers and the 2012 death of Bryan Gower. Petrin’s legal recourse has now been fully exhausted.

Cocaine on the rise in Canada - CSIS

CSIS is sounding the alarm about the marked rise in popularity of coke in a recent report on the state of the drug market. "From 2015 to 2017, the consumption rate has doubled from 1% (of the population), or 353,000 consumers, to 2% with 730,000 consumers," says the spy agency. The same situation is observed globally, "in parallel with the increase in cocaine production in Latin America".

"large quantities of cocaine" are imported into the country.

In 2018, 496 of the 664 organized crime groups tracked were involved in the cocaine trade in Canada, up 5% from 2015. Cocaine rings tend to be controlled by large organized crime groups. Despite rising demand, the price of cocaine in Canada has been stable for 2 decades, at about $ 100 per gram on the street, or between $ 50,000 and $ 65,000 per kg. The market in Canada is estimated at over $2b. The UN Office on Drugs and Crime reported that a historic peak of 1976 tons of cocaine was produced worldwide in 2017.
