Toronto arrest in Montreal West killings
Last summer, two young men were shot in a car in Montreal West. One died on the spot, the other later in hospital. A suspect was arrested this week near Toronto, but can’t be identified because he was under 18 at the time of the shooting.
(Lexical question: can someone be “rapatrié en sol québécois” from Ontario?)

I often see English-language media use the word “extradition” when referring to transfers between provinces in Canada or between states in the USA. This, despite the fact that most dictionaries seem to define “extradition” as a movement across international boundaries. I wonder if “repatrié” in this context is merely a similar incident of journalists prioritizing colour/sensationalism over precision and exactness in their reporting.
