A police officer was hit by a truck in the eastern township of Bromont Thursday. The 37 year old former RCMP officer died from injuries.

Vincent Roy was struck while giving out a ticket on the side of the road to another vehicle. But police say alcohol and speeding were not involved. And they are treating it as an accident.

All twenty officers in the Bromont force are being treated for shock and took the day off.

Provincial police will take over in the meantime.

And the results are in! It appears that students were in a giving mood for the holiday season as everything passed in the CSU By-Elections.

A ‘no’ campaign a week before the election stirred controversy but all the bylaw changes were put through.

The biggest one being that candidates for executive positions will run independently instead of with a slate.

Also, quorum for general meetings was lowered to four hundred and fifty and the currently inactive Senate of Faculty Associations was eliminated.

Tories are getting tough on crime, but Canadians say they’ve been feeling safe for years. A Statistics Canada Survey shows that 93 percent are not worried about crime, and that figure hasn’t changed much since the last survey seven years ago. The survey was released yesterday, just a day before two measures from the conservative crime bill went into effect. 

Fifteen year old Marjorie Raymond committed suicide on Monday in Eastern Quebec. The cause : bullying. The cause of her sudden death was hinted at in a note she left behind for her family. 

Marjorie's mother, Chantal LaRose, had planned on transferring her daughter into another school once she turned sixteen.

The school will implement short term suspension for suspected student bullies and therapy sessions for the rest of the school.
