A 19 year old teenager was charged with 'unauthorized use of a computer' after downloading over 7,000 records from the Nova Scotia Freedom-of-Information web portal. The teenager whose name has not been released, has been accused of stealing documents from the portal, with many of them being publicly accessible and redacted.

    Your teenagers are already fleeing by the dozen when they finish high school or college, and the entire place is turning into a retirement home. There's few jobs, and no doctors. Food and electricity costs keep creeping upward. Please, keep finding new ways to make the youth want to live somewhere else. Oh, wait, you can counterbalance that by paying to run ads in Alberta trying to coax them back! To that sweet sweet new call center you just helped build!
