I didn't watch the proceedings, but I'm sure they were accurately reported by Don. Having seen many similar hearings in person as an observer I'm not surprised at the time-served sentence, but that doesn't mean I'm happy with it. I think the potential for grave injury alone warranted a much stronger sanction.

And I doubt whether a 12 month driving prohibition will mean much. He was already "suspended" (admittedly not as serious as "prohibited" but still...).

I love this reporting Don, hope this venture works out for you. It is sorely missed in many markets, including here in the Charlottetown area where I now reside. Limited crime reporting, hardly any event coverage; just staged things, press release reprints, bake sales, and walk-a-thons to raise awareness.

I knew Brad personally years ago, it makes me sad that he never got help with mental health issues.

It is a 2-4 year wait to see any professional.

We need more accessible services, or this kind of thing is going to keep happening.

The government should be funding important things like mental health support and addiction services.

Those are issues that affect everyone and that would be a great article to publish.

Where does our mayor stand on the solutions to these issues.

How are they helping the homeless or people afflicted with the disease of addiction?

I do appreciate the honest journalism, which is a gem to have in 2023.

Please continue all your great work.
