YORK LANDING, Mb. (NEWS 1130) – As we enter the second week of the search for two suspected killers from B.C., helicopters, police dogs, officers and even the military are combing remote areas of Manitoba for the pair after a key tip came in from a community group. James Favel, the executive director of the Bear Clan Patrol, explains his community safety group was asked by the Grand Chief of the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs to lend a hand in areas that aren’t serviced by the RCMP, back on Friday.

The glamor of a life of crime!
Yeah, no kidding.
Drive them northwards and let the polar bears take care of them.
Or just plain winter. That’ll start in aboot another couple of weeks, eh?
Two weeks and they haven’t changed their appearances or split up. Are they lovers or what?
TORONTO (Reuters) - Canadian police descended on a tiny hamlet in northern Manitoba on Sunday after a reported sighting of two teenage fugitives wanted in the murders of three people, including American and Australian tourists.
The days-long manhunt for Kam McLeod, 19, and Bryer Schmegelsky, 18, which has crossed half the country, shifted to the area of York Landing, Manitoba, about 3,000 km (1,865 miles) from the crime scenes in British Columbia.
“Multiple resources are being sent to York Landing, Manitoba, to investigate a tip that the two suspects are possibly in, or near, the community,” the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said on Twitter. “ ... despite reports, there’s no-one in custody at this time.”
Thank you.
Or the mosquitoes and gnats and black flies now....
I recall Canadian woods in summer
Relentless
After the Mounties wrap this up, they need to get off their arses and figure out the Highway of Tears killer(s) and end that horror show.
I have heard similar tales. And ones about the mosquitoes in Alaska that are the size of small birds...
Drive them northwards and let the polar bears take care of them.
I think there is a good deal of North between where, as it were, the black top mostly ends, and the polar bears.
Canada has a whale of a lot of empty—though the empty does have a huge abundance of insects, as other posters have pointed out.
I looked
If they are in northern Manitoba now they are in polar bear summer range where they fatten up for winter
I’ve been devoured by them on the ALCAN in the 70s
There are polar bears on the Hudson’s Bay coast around Churchill, Manitoba. That’s about as far south as polar bears ever get, and it’s only about a hundred miles away from this reported sighting. So, improbable as it might seem, they actually could run into polar bears — although that is a tough tough hundred miles to traverse.
I imagine that if they don’t head for the coast, the insects will get them first.
I’d guess that when it is just bush the polar bears stay farther north. Sea ice makes life easier.
