http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/ ... -1.4014953]Yet another story about asylum seekers crossing the border illegally to get out of the USA.
This time, border officials found 18 people - including a pregnant woman, some children, and a man with a broken arm - who were crossing during a snowstorm. "Visibility is poor in the town, with blustery winds of up to 88 km/h and blowing snow. Highway 75 remains closed, leaving people stranded in the small border town [Emerson, Manitoba], unable to drive north to Winnipeg." They're worried that there's still somebody out there who was separated from the group.
Here's hoping that either nobody's missing or whoever is missing will be found alive.
