Their new law allows police at roadside to seize cars and issue thousands in fines without judicial oversight. It has been a massive success. Maybe too successful. Yesterday, Solicitor General Rich Coleman begged police forces to use more “discretion” in applying the law. “You give someone a new tool,” he commented, “and they think they have to use it.” With thousands of scofflaws identified in just the first few weeks of im- plementation and front page headlines about a drunk driver who killed a beautiful four-year-old girl in the same week, you’d think the issue would be a political gold mine for the governing party.

    Vol. 15 no. 8 Wednesday, June 15, 2011 Port Coquitlam B.C Mock crash hits home for senior students See story on page 4 Wednesday, June 15, 2011 - Vol 15 No. 8 The significance of Grad Emily Chan - staff reporter From this point in life, the grads of 2011 have a unique vantage point. We have lived out thirteen years of the word education being coupled with the word compulsory. As June approaches, however, we will find ourselves with newfound freedom, and, of course, responsibility. In many ways, this perspective is equal parts terrifying and thrilling. The words “the rest of your life” are somewhat daunting to most teenagers. Between heavy academic course loads, mandatory volunteer work, extracurricular activities and part time jobs, many grads have spent their final school year analyzing options and preparing plans for post-secondary. For the first time in our lives, we are making decisions on our own that have the power to dramatically impact our futures. In 2007, a Stats Canada report found that more than 4 in 10 senior high school students felt “under constant pressure to accomplish more than they could handle.” Most seniors don’t need to hear the numbers, however, to know that this is true. Deciding on career paths and colleges or universities are no simple tasks, and finding a way to finance it all can often seem near-impossible. Beyond the obvious stress, there is also the knowledge that after the school year ends you probably won’t be seeing that kid that sits in the back of math class anymore.
