Not sure what happened in this case, but there’s been more random violence in iqaluit this summer. And it’s not a secret that there’s a lot of meth and speed in town right now. Anyone who knows anything about addiction knows that that stuff is dangerous and will make users do strange things. It’s on a whole different level than alcohol. A lot of the bizarre crimes in town this summer have had something to do with these drugs.

If you know who’s selling meth or speed in town call the police asap. That stuff will wreck havoc on the popular if it keeps going.
