Quebec coroner calls for tougher drunk driving penalties in line with rest of country

The 30-year-old suspect charged in the SUV-ramming attack at a Filipino festival in Vancouver that left at least 11 people dead has a “significant history of interactions with police and health care professionals related to mental health,” Vancouver Police Department Interim Chief Steve Rai said on Sunday.That’s police-speak for what can be more plainly stated thus: “The man who allegedly went on a deadly rampage suffers from untreated mental illness, likely schizophrenia, and he’s been picked up numerous times in a psychotic state.”
