Hey there, time traveller!

SASKATOON – Saskatchewan public prosecutions has filed an appeal to a judge’s decision in a court case involving the 2021 death of a young Saskatoon girl.
The province’s justice ministry says there are grounds to file, but there is no further information to provide as the matter is before the courts.
The case involves nine-year-old Baeleigh Maurice, who died three years ago after being hit by a truck while walking her scooter along a crosswalk.
Taylor Kennedy of Saskatoon was charged with impaired driving exceeding the prescribed blood-drug concentration of THC, as well as causing death.
In December, Justice Jane Wootten stayed the charges and ruled the woman was not tried within a reasonable time as required by Canadian law.
Matters at Canadian provincial courts must conclude within 18 months, but Wootten determined Kennedy’s matter took about 24 months.
