  1. Why wasn't the news of what happened in Goose Bay reported? I read it all over CBC. Is Goose Bay not within your proximity of news? Also, your news place reported similar stories i the past, why not now? The news I am talking about is that woman who was arrested for many counts and the man who was nearly assaulted to death.
