It's all so wonderfully Canadian.

While Mitsuing was at the courthouse before the doors officially opened, he left to run errands and grab some food, resulting in his absence from the morning trial.

O'Neill said he couldn't hear what Mitsuing was shouting, but was confident in identifying the bear as a grizzly,

After finding Mitsuing and his friends at the hot springs too intoxicated to drive, RCMP impounded the vehicle and dropped the group off at a local hotel.

Go Riders!
