Alfonzo Hector Pena Sentenced in U.S. District Court Bill Mercer , United States Attorney for the District of Montana , announced today that during a federal court session in Missoula , on October 2 , 2009 , before U.S. District Judge Donald W. Molloy , ALFONZO HECTOR PENA , a 33-year-old resident of Kalispell , appeared for sentencing . PENA was sentenced to a term of : - Prison : 188 months - Special Assessment : $ 100 - Supervised Release : 5 years PENA was sentenced in connection with his guilty plea to conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine . In an Offer of Proof filed by Assistant U.S. Attorney Paulette L. Stewart , the government stated it would have proved at trial the following : During 2007 , several individuals moved numerous pounds of methamphetamine from Spokane , Washington to Montana , primarily in Flathead and Lincoln Counties . Jamie Lake , from the Spokane area , was the primary source of supply . Lake then distributed methamphetamine to most of the other individuals , either directly or through cooperating witnesses . This group initially moved ounce quantities and graduated to pound quantities before dismantling . The group used rental cars to transport the methamphetamine , motel rooms as meeting places , and runners at times to transport the methamphetamine . A trailer in Kalispell became a central meeting place for drug transactions . PENA 'S primary connection to this methamphetamine trafficking conspiracy was through the other individuals . PENA and an associate went to two of the individuals to receive methamphetamine to sell in the Libby area . These individuals confirmed that PENA went to the Kalispell trailer for drug transactions . A cooperating witness also confirmed PENA 'S presence at the Kalispell trailer for at least one of these drug transactions . Because there is no parole in the federal system , the `` truth in sentencing '' guidelines mandate that PENA will likely serve all of the time imposed by the court . In the federal system , PENA does have the opportunity to earn a sentence reduction for `` good behavior . '' However , this reduction will not exceed 15 % of the overall sentence . The investigation was a cooperative effort between the Bureau of Alcohol , Tobacco , Firearms and Explosives and the Northwest Montana Drug Task Force .

Dear Editor , Re : Domestic violence increase scary In the earliest conspiracy of the Church against women , or priestesses of the Great Goddess , was that it devised the concept of Original Sin , as developed by Augustine . It surmised that when Adam and Eve disobeyed God , they covered their genitals , after which it is told in this Christian fable , that the first sin was passed on . The child therefore born of its mother ’ s womb , so the conspiracy goes , is therefore steeped in sin and that only the Church had the sole power to save it . The misogyny of the Roman Church ; displaced the power and role women played in acts of worship and faith , placing men in charge of spiritual power and the rites of worship . The doctrine of original sin was used as a weapon of terror against women and helped coerce people into Christianity . The concept that original sin was passed from Eve to all women , has over time , seen the Church suppress with untold violence the priestess cults of Europe such as the Cathars , which lasted for hundreds of years . Men now wear the frocks in the Church and have written themselves into sublime authority over all humanity it seems ... It is the inherent right of women to be priestesses , as they had been before Christianity , as it was in Egypt and further back beyond recorded history . Women are the Goddess aspect of God that has been omitted by a Misogynistic form of Christianity and ever since have suffered the consequence of what has been a male conspiracy all along ! S. Matagi

Versatile North East singer Anne Reay has two big dates in September to look forward to – one on the stage and one on the road . On September 17 you will find her at Durham ’ s Gala Theatre performing her show Great Ladies of Song . This will feature classic numbers forever associated with renowned singers from different eras and in a variety of genres . For the price of one ticket , audience members will hear the songs of Nina Simone , Dusty Springfield , Crystal Gayle , Sarah Brightman , Whitney Houston , Adele and more . By then , hopefully , she will have recovered from her other engagement on September 10 , joining the thousands bound for South Shields in the Great North Run . Anna , who is 35 , has just released a charity single , Sunset on the Tyne , which is dedicated to all the Great North Run participants and will benefit a charity close to her heart . “ This is the first year that I ’ ll actually be running the Great North Run , ” she says . “ I decided to do it with my friend Helen Watson and her brothers , Ian and David , whose dad sadly passed last year from prostate cancer , so along with our sponsorship money the proceeds from the sale of the single will be going to the charity. ” She adds : “ Sunset on the Tyne is about the North East , the Great North Run , family and love . It ’ s a real Geordie folk song . “ I wrote it with my bass player , Deon Krishnan , and it ’ s available to buy for 99p on iTunes now but the first time we will be performing it live will be at the Gala Theatre. ” Anna , who lives in Whickham , Gateshead , has been singing all her life and says her parents recall her humming the Superman theme tune even before she could talk . She studied music at Gateshead College and then Sunderland University before her career started with providing backing vocals for a North East band . When the lead singer was taken ill one day , Anna stepped into the spotlight and has never looked back . She professes herself a fan of all sorts of musical genres , including pop , country and jazz . Her versatility gained her work as a cruise ship entertainer and she has sung for her supper in some extremely glamorous company all around the world . In 2013 she marked 10 years in showbusiness with a first performance of Great Ladies of Song at Playhouse Whitley Bay , the idea being to give past cruise ship customers in the North East a chance to get reacquainted on dry land .

Hostage taker sentenced to 5 years in Waynesboro WAYNESBORO - A man who held his wife hostage last summer after she told him she wanted a divorce was sentenced to five years in prison Wednesday . In September , Alex B. Potter , 36 , of Waynesboro , pleaded guilty to charges of abduction and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony . Evidence showed that nearly 30 officers from the Waynesboro Police Department , the Augusta County Sheriff 's Office and the Staunton Police Department converged on Potter 's home on South Jackson Avenue during the early-morning hours of July 5 after receiving a 911 call from Potter 's wife , Amanda Potter . During a portion of the 911 call , played in court Wednesday , Potter 's wife sobbed uncontrollably as she explained to a dispatcher that her husband would n't let her leave the home after telling him she wanted a divorce . She said Alex Potter was standing in a doorway armed with a handgun . `` Does he know you 're on the phone with me ? '' the dispatcher asked . `` Yes , '' the wife replied . More : Twin brothers , two wives , eight kids and the stars aligning The incident began at about 2 a.m. when Alex Potter put the handgun to his wife 's cheek and pulled the trigger . However , the chamber was empty , according to Waynesboro assistant prosecutor William Flory . `` She thought , in that moment , that she was going to die , '' Flory said . Potter then placed a round in the chamber of the gun and threatened his wife . Roughly three hours after the incident began , Potter released her . Still inside the home , Potter told police he wanted to commit `` suicide by cop , '' Flory said at the September hearing . However , about an hour after Potter released his wife , authorities fired tear gas into the home , forcing him to leave the residence and surrender . More : Former hoops coach at Robert E. Lee High School guilty of DUI Prior to being sentenced Wednesday in Waynesboro Circuit Court , Potter told the judge he was seeking counseling , and said he wished he could go back in time and change what happened . `` I know I have some issues that need to be addressed , '' he said . Before sentencing Potter , Circuit Judge Charles Ricketts III said he felt the prosecution should have sought more prison time than the five years Flory requested . `` I do n't know how an abduction case could be any worse , '' Ricketts said as he handed down the five-year prison term .

Arizona Man Sentenced to 23 Years for Meth Conspiracy in Springfield SPRINGFIELD , Mo . – Tammy Dickinson , United States Attorney for the Western District of Missouri , announced that an Avondale , Ariz. , man was sentenced in federal court today for his role in a conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine in the Springfield area . Michael P. Ayala , 38 , of Avondale , Ariz. , was sentenced by U.S. District Judge M. Douglas Harpool to 23 years in federal prison without parole . On July 5 , 2016 , Ayala pleaded guilty to participating in a conspiracy to distribute methamphetamine , to possessing a firearm in furtherance of a drug-trafficking crime , and to participating in a money-laundering conspiracy . Ayala is among seven co-defendants who have pleaded guilty and been sentenced , including Ronda L. Easton , 53 , Steven A. Easton , 49 , James M. Parker , 46 , Robert M. Cardenas , Jr. , 28 , and Cody D. Keller , 34 , all of Springfield , and Michael D. Thompson , 58 , of Goodyear , Ariz. David M. Climer , 37 , of Springfield , has pleaded guilty and awaits sentencing . Ayala admitted that he supplied methamphetamine to Steven Easton for distribution in the Springfield area until his wife , Ronda Easton , was released from state prison and took over the methamphetamine distribution operation in Springfield . The methamphetamine arrived by mail and was transported by vehicles from Arizona . Ronda Easton sold pound quantities to Parker , Keller , and Climer . Thompson and Cardenas delivered the methamphetamine by vehicle from Arizona to Missouri . Ronda Easton admitted that she had been distributing large amounts of methamphetamine that she purchased from Ayala . She paid Ayala $ 9,000 per pound of methamphetamine and sold it for $ 12,000 per pound . She stated that she received methamphetamine from Ayala every seven to 10 days and referred to one recent shipment of 10 pounds of methamphetamine . On April 15 , 2015 , law enforcement officers in New Mexico stopped a Jeep Commander driven by Cardenas , with Thompson as a passenger , and seized approximately 14.5 pounds of methamphetamine hidden inside a compartment near the back of the vehicle . They also seized a bundle that contained 2,228 grams of methamphetamine inside a luggage bag . Cardenas told investigators that Ayala had paid him $ 1,700 to drive the vehicle from Arizona to Springfield . The next day , a controlled delivery of methamphetamine was made to Ayala in Springfield . Ayala was arrested in a traffic stop and officers found a Springfield Armory 9mm semi-automatic pistol in the vehicle , as well as ammunition , syringes , and $ 19,231 . Ayala must forfeit the Jeep Commander , the firearm and ammunition , and the cash to the government . On Jan. 5 , 2015 , law enforcement officers executed a search warrant at a residence shared by Ayala and Ronda Easton . They seized four large Tupperware containers containing a total of approximately 1.5 kilograms of pure methamphetamine , a black brief case containing baggies of methamphetamine and $ 1,520 , a Taurus .410-caliber shotgun , a Cobra .380-caliber semi-automatic pistol , a loaded Quality Firearms .38-caliber revolver , a loaded Springfield Armory 9mm pistol , a Smith and Wesson .40-caliber pistol , and $ 14,779 in a purse . Ayala and Ronda Easton admitted that they used the proceeds from distributing methamphetamine to buy assets , which also concealed the source of their proceeds , including a residential property and a 2012 Ford Mustang that must be forfeited to the government . This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Nhan D. Nguyen . It was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol , Tobacco , Firearms and Explosives , IRS-Criminal Investigation , the Springfield , Mo. , Police Department , Immigration and Customs Enforcement 's ( ICE ) Homeland Security Investigations ( HSI ) , the Missouri State Highway Patrol , the Yavapai County , Ariz. , Sheriff ’ s Department , the Bernalillo County , N.M. , Sheriff ’ s Department , and the Franklin County , Mo. , Sheriff ’ s Department .

There 's the boy named Steven . You may have read about him in the Tribune series `` Harsh Treatment , '' which began this week . When he was 5 , after his mother 's boyfriend physically abused him , Steven was taken from his home on Chicago 's West Side and put into the protective custody of the state of Illinois . Protective . Remember that word . For years , Steven bounced from one foster home to another , until finally , at 14 , he was sent to Lawrence Hall , a residential treatment center in Chicago for troubled young people . Treatment . Remember that word . At the treatment center , he was bullied by other residents , but he found a way to survive . He became a criminal . `` Steven came into Lawrence Hall without a criminal record , '' said my colleague David Jackson when I called him on Thursday to talk about the series he has written with Gary Marx and Duaa Eldeib . `` Within days , he was taunted by other kids . He got beat up . The staff took notes as this kid tried to keep his head above the water . He 's a tough little guy and he decided to fit in . Within weeks , he 's out on the streets of Chicago with tougher kids from that facility , robbing people . He 's now in prison . '' And here 's the clincher : Steven feels safer in juvenile prison than he did in Lawrence Hall . Steven . Albert . Arthur . Keyona . Kierra . Krystle . Those are just some of the lives that Jackson , Marx and Eldeib have chronicled in their series on the violence that infects the state 's residential treatment system for young people . As they wrote in their opening piece , there is a `` crisis in Illinois ' loosely monitored system for housing disadvantaged youths who have behavioral and mental health problems . Amid staff shortages , youths are raped , assaulted and running away by the thousands . '' In many of these facilities , brutal fights among residents are frequent . So is overt drug use . Residents are forced into sex by their peers . Intimidation is the common currency . Some of the residents , like Steven , carry the trouble out onto Chicago 's streets . They steal , or trade sex for money , then go home to the violent place that exists to treat and protect them . When I asked Marx and Jackson what had struck them particularly as they were reporting the series , they both quickly used the same word . Courage . `` The courage of these kids to come forward to talk about their incredible histories of sexual abuse in these facilities , and outside , '' said Marx . `` They 've come back to us and said , 'Thank you for listening to us . ' They 've always been treated as bad kids , as kids who were kind of worthless . These are kids who have been thrown aside and suffered , through no fault of their own . '' The young people in the series are so isolated from the mainstream , so invisible to many of us , so inured to accepting the abnormal as normal , that their lives may be difficult to comprehend . Eldeib talks of interviewing a young woman who was placed in state protective custody at 14 . `` She started telling me about the abuse she suffered , '' Eldeib said , `` and it was so horrific , I remember thinking , how could she have endured so much ? And when we were able to independently verify it , I remember thinking , 'Oh my God , she really went through all of the things she told me . ' '' The young people who land at Lawrence Hall and the other centers documented in the series are n't easy to help . They arrive with the worst kinds of wounds . Sexual abuse . Mental illness . Assorted neglect . These centers do save some lives , but in too many cases the prevailing chaos causes only more damage . `` A lot of girls we spoke to , '' Eldeib said , `` went to these residential centers thinking they would be able to heal from their wounds , and unfortunately they did n't . '' Like all social problems , this one is a tangle of causes , with no single solution . But one thing is sure : You ca n't solve a problem until you see it clearly . This series casts light on a problem that leaks into life for the entire city . I keep thinking about one young woman who was repeatedly attacked by her peers in the center designed to treat and protect her . She was interviewed for the story not far from where I live , carrying her one change of clothes in a plastic bag . `` I hate living like this , '' she said , `` but the world is n't fair , and I have to make my way . '' She should n't have to make it alone . More stories in the series will be in print this weekend and next week . The series is available online at chicagotribune.com/rtc . Twitter @ MarySchmich

Advertisement FOLLOW ON New York Yankees relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman , right , celebrates with teammate Gary Sanchez after their team 's 5-1 victory over the Minnesota Twins in Game 3 of a baseball American League Division Series , Monday , Oct. 7 , 2019 , in Minneapolis . ( AP Photo/Jim Mone ) MINNEAPOLIS -- The last time the New York Yankees won the World Series , a full decade ago , Gleyber Torres was not yet a teenager in Venezuela . Boosted by an age-defiant performance by their 22-year-old star second baseman , the Yankees moved one step closer to that elusive trophy . Torres got New York going with a second-inning home run , scored after each of his two doubles and made a pair of sparkling defensive plays , fueling the Yankees to a 5-1 victory over Minnesota on Monday night that finished yet another Division Series sweep of the Twins . `` He 's a really special player , '' first baseman DJ LeMahieu said . `` No moment 's too big for him . '' Didi Gregorius hit two RBI singles , Cameron Maybin homered and Aroldis Chapman struck out three batters in a five-out save for the Yankees , who completed the three-game wipeout and pushed their post-season winning streak over the Twins to 13 games . LeMahieu , Gregorius and Aaron Judge also made outstanding defensive plays for key outs . `` All we did was to go out there and play our best baseball , '' said Gregorius , who went 4 for 10 with six RBIs in the series and is 23 for 50 with seven homers and 33 RBIs in his last 14 games against Minnesota . Following a 103-win regular season and their first AL East title since 2012 , the Yankees will start the AL Championship Series on Saturday , either at Houston or at home against Tampa Bay . `` We 're focused already to the second series , '' Torres said . Thanks largely to their talented young second baseman . With the Yankees employing an aggressive shift that had him in shallow right field , Torres slid and scooped a sharp grounder by Eddie Rosario with two on in the fifth and managed to throw him out to end the inning . In the seventh , Torres made a slick stop on a grounder by Jorge Polanco and flipped to Zack Britton covering first . Torres even stole third base after his double in the ninth . `` He played so well in this series , and then today , I think , just continued to show the world just how good a player he is on both sides of the ball , '' New York manager Aaron Boone said . Torres became the fifth-youngest Yankees player to hit a post-season homer , with only Yogi Berra , Mickey Mantle , Tony Kubek and Derek Jeter doing it at younger ages . The last time the Twins beat the Yankees in a playoff game ? Torres was only 7 . AL Central champion Minnesota became the first 100-win team swept in the Division Series and dropped to 2-16 against the Yankees in the playoffs , including 0-13 since winning the 2004 ALDS opener . Outscored 23-7 in the series , the Twins batted just .218 . After hitting a record 307 homers , they had just four in the Division Series , all solo shots . Minnesota went 1 for 12 with runners in scoring position and stranded 11 , falling to 3 for 28 in the series with 25 left on base . `` Our guys should be walking out of that clubhouse with our heads held high , and they never stopped playing , '' manager Rocco Baldelli said . `` We got beat over the last three days , and there 's no way around that . That 's going to happen from time to time , but what an amazing season it was . '' Minnesota has lost 16 consecutive post-season games , tying the North American major sports record set by the NHL 's Chicago Blackhawks from 1975-79 . Yankees starter Luis Severino pitched out of trouble for four scoreless innings in just his fourth big league appearance after recovering from a spring training lat muscle injury , escaping a bases-loaded , no-outs jam in the second . Chad Green , the third of five Yankees relievers , got four outs for the win and Chapman froze Nelson Cruz with a 99 mph called third strike to end it . Yankees relievers allowed three runs over 13 1/3 innings in the series . Rosario went 3 for 4 for the Twins with a homer starting the eighth off Britton , who jammed his right ankle while grabbing Torres ' toss in the seventh and left one out later with assistance from head athletic trainer Steve Donahue . `` It should n't be anything that bothers me going forward , '' Britton said . On this idyllic fall evening that started at 62 degrees , the energy from the over-capacity crowd of 41,121 for the first playoff game at Target Field since the ballpark 's 2010 debut season persisted deep into the night , well after Torres took Twins starter Jake Odorizzi deep on a ball that barely cleared the dark green wall in left-centre . Typifying this long-running lopsided matchup , almost all the could-go-either-way plays went to the Yankees , leaving the Twins largely shaking their heads at all their near misses . The Yankees were impeccable in the field , for starters . LeMahieu made a slick leaping catch of a sharp line drive by Marwin Gonzalez to end the fourth . The 6-foot-7 Judge made a jumping catch in front of the right-field warning track of a smash by Miguel Sano after Luis Arraez 's double in the sixth . Gregorius made a diving snag of fellow shortstop Polanco 's drive for the second out of the ninth with two on , flashing a big smile . That kept the tying run from coming to the plate . Then there were the plays by Torres . Severino , who did n't make his 2019 debut until Sept. 17 , started 11 of 17 batters with balls , including all six in the second inning . Still , a far better output than his wild-card game start against the Twins in 2017 when he fell behind 3-0 and was yanked after one out . `` We got killed by paper cuts tonight , solo homers and things we can manage , '' Minnesota catcher Mitch Garver said . `` We just could n't put up any runs on the board . That 's baseball . '' BY THE NUMBERS According to MLB 's Statcast , the pitch Rosario hit for a double in the second was the third-highest tagged for an extra-base hit in 2019 , at 4.22 feet above the ground . ... Sano went 1 for 12 with eight strikeouts in the series . TRAINER 'S ROOM Yankees : With nearly his optimal lineup finally available after an onslaught of injuries , Boone used an identical batting order for three straight games for the second time this year , after Sept. 6-8 .

DEAR JEANNE & LEONARD : When you are first going to the home of someone you do n't know all that well -- say , a co-worker or a distant relative -- is it wrong to look up the value of his or her home on the internet , just to understand more about him or her ? -- A.T. DEAR A.T. : Wrong ? Not exactly . After all , the information that interests you is publicly available . What would be wrong -- and incredibly stupid -- however , would be telling anyone what you did or revealing what you discovered . Because there are few things less becoming than snooping , even if the information you uncover is there for anyone with access to the internet to see . P.S . We assume you 'd take no offense if a guest coming to your home checked out your credit score , your arrest record and your ancestry -- you know , just to understand more about you . DEAR JEANNE & LEONARD : My husband was a self-employed landscape architect . For the 15 years before he retired , his only employee was a jack-of-all-trades assistant who paid his bills , managed his calendar and took care of all the office work . `` Nancy '' was a hard worker and very loyal to my husband , and when he retired , she stopped working as well , to care for her ailing father . Not long after he retired , my husband died unexpectedly , leaving everything he had to me . From my inheritance , I gave each of our two children $ 10,000 . And , knowing Nancy had recently had some financial setbacks and thinking about her years of dedication to my husband , I gave her $ 5,000 in his memory . She was touched and , as you might imagine , most appreciative . Then , about a month later , I happened to see her leaving an expensive spa -- the type of place that is well beyond my budget . What should I have said to her ? Needless to say , this kind of extravagance was not what I had in mind when I gave her the money . -- Diana T. DEAR DIANA : How do you know that another kind friend had n't treated her to a spa day ? Otherwise , though , we agree . If Nancy is having money problems , she probably would have been better served to have foregone the spa . But Nancy 's budget is her concern , not yours . While your gift to her was , in part , a charitable act , Nancy is not a charity , and how she spends her money is up to her . So try to forget the fancy spa , and remember instead what prompted your generous gift : Nancy 's dedication and good service to your husband . Do n't let her apparent extravagance keep you from thinking well of this person who , for 15 years , was such an important figure in your husband 's life , and do n't let it keep you from taking pleasure in having given her that money . You did a good deed , Diana . Enjoy it . Please email your questions about money , ethics and relationships to Family on 06/14/2017

Payday , instalment loans on the rise in Canada due to pandemic : report The pandemic has resulted in more Canadians seeking high-interest loans , a new survey has found , and advocates are calling on the feds to lower the maximum interest that lenders can charge . ACORN Canada , a community group that advocates for low- and moderate-income Canadians , conducted the survey among its membership . Of the 439 people who took the survey between November 2021 and January 2022 , 113 said they took a high-cost loan , such as a payday loan or an instalment loan , due to COVID-19 . Among these respondents , a quarter said they 've had to take out a high-interest loan 10 or more times since the start of pandemic . More than half also said they first applied for a loan at a traditional bank or credit union but were denied . In addition , 83 per cent said they needed the loans to meet everyday expenses . `` When people have to take out the loans for basic expenses such as rent , groceries , phone , internet… that 's kind of alarming , '' Peter Jongeneelen , a spokesperson for ACORN in New Brunswick , told CTVNews.ca on Tuesday in a phone interview . Instalment loans are generally offered to borrowers with interest rates between 30 to 60 per cent and meant to be paid back within a fixed period of time . Payday loans are typically $ 1,500 or less for a period of 62 days or fewer and can have interest rates has high as 548 per cent , depending on the province . These loans are offered by alternative lenders and are typically sought out by individuals who may not be able to access loans from traditional banks and credit unions due to poor credit , low income or a combination of both . `` They just do n't qualify ( for credit at banks ) because their credit score is not good enough , '' Jongeneelen said . `` They 're forced to try and do whatever they can to keep a roof over their head , keep food on the table . '' Suzette Mafuna was one of the ACORN members who took out an instalment loan . Mafuna relies on Old Age Security and went back to university in 2019 so she could find a good job and achieve financial independence . With rent , phone bills , debt and other expenses piling up , she took out an instalment loan in the early months of the pandemic to help her pay for school expenses . But with fees and interest , she now owes an additional $ 8,000 on top of her $ 6,000 principal . `` Nobody understands what it 's like to be an average Canadian or struggling to make ends meet . These guys that are sitting in these offices are all rich . They 've never lived our lives . It 's all about money , '' she told CTVNews.ca on Monday over the phone . The winding down of government COVID-19 supports such as CERB was cited as one of the reasons lower-income Canadians turned to high-interest loans . More than half of the respondents reported that their financial situation worsened because of the pandemic and continued need for financial support . `` CERB was great and changes that were made to EI were great . But then , they ended . Things like the lockout benefit , the caregiver benefit -- they were somewhat inadequate . We 're still in the pandemic , '' Jongeneelen said , adding that Canada lost 200,000 jobs in January 2022 after the Omicron variant emerged , according to Statistics Canada . CRIMINAL INTEREST RATE SHOULD BE LOWERED : REPORT The Criminal Code of Canada bans lenders from setting annual interest rates higher than 60 per cent . ACORN says the federal government should lower the criminal interest rate to 30 per cent . But under section 347.1 of the Criminal Code , payday loans are exempt from the maximum interest restrictions as long as provinces bring in their own regulation . In Ontario , B.C. , Alberta , New Brunswick and P.E.I. , payday lenders can charge a maximum of $ 15 per $ 100 loaned in a two-week period . That 's equivalent to an annual interest rate of 391 per cent . In Manitoba and Saskatchewan , the maximum charge is $ 17 per $ 100 , or 443 per cent annually . Nova Scotia allows payday lenders to charge $ 19 per $ 100 ( 495 per cent annually ) while lenders in Newfoundland and Labrador can charge $ 21 per $ 100 ( 548 per cent annually ) . Quebec is the only province to have effectively banned payday loans . Interest rates for all loans in the province are capped at 35 per cent . ACORN is also calling for the federal government to follow Quebec 's lead and repeal the section 347.1 exemption for payday loans . During last year 's federal election , the Liberals pledged to `` crack down on predatory lenders by lowering the criminal rate of interest . '' This commitment was also identified as one of the priorities in Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland 's mandate letter in December 2021 . Adrienne Vaupshas , press secretary for Freeland 's office , told CTVNews.ca in an email statement that the federal government will be starting consultations on lowering the criminal rate of interest soon , with further details to be `` made available in due course . '' `` Too many lower and modest-income Canadians are forced to rely on high-interest short-term loans to make ends meet , leaving them in a cycle of debt . The government is committed to cracking down on predatory lenders by lowering the criminal rate of interest , '' she said . But the Canadian Consumer Finance Association ( CCFA ) , the industry group representing financial institutions that provide payday and instalment loans , says these changes could end up hurting low-income Canadians who otherwise would n't have access to any credit from traditional financial institutions . The CCFA argues this could push borrowers from seeking loans from illegal , unlicensed lenders . `` Instalment loans are expensive to provide and often high-risk . The credit score of the borrower is an important factor in determining the interest rate charged on an instalment loan and in fact , many applicants do not qualify for a loan because of their credit profile , '' the group said in an email statement to CTVNews.ca on Monday . `` Any reduction to the federal maximum interest rate will result in removal of access to credit for those Canadians with lower credit scores who previously qualified at the current rate . '' ACORN is also calling for the federal government to make traditional banking more accessible . The suggestions include lowering the non-sufficient funds ( NSF ) fee for withdrawals from $ 45 to $ 10 and getting the federal government to guarantee bank loans for low- and moderate-income Canadians . ACORN also suggests introducing a postal banking system , where the postal service would operate a publicly-owned bank for those who do n't have access to banks . `` It 's upsetting that the banks do n't seem to have anything that 's a priority for those people have low- and moderate-income who need some sort of emergency loans , '' Jongeneelen said . `` The government needs to act on this sooner rather than later .
