How far can you go to defend yourself and your property. The case of Laurie Manzer did little to clear the issue up after the judge declared a mistrial. Tony Rodgers chats with us. The Chronicle-Herald’s Stephen Cooke checks in on movies for cheap night at the theatres. Should we have questioned how much it cost to ferry the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge around Canada? Some say we were just too starstruck, but Monarchist League’s Barry MacKenzie defends the cost. Violet Large gave away almost all of the millions her and her husband won in the lottery – Large lost her battle with Cancer this week and was laid to rest today. We speak with her revered Ian Harrison.
