Haha, a 29-year-old Quebec woman got a 7.5-year sentence for smuggling $30.5 million of cocaine into Australia. She and a friend had the drugs on a cruise ship and regularly posted their exploits on Instagram. Her partners in crime are yet to go to trial.

Isabelle Lagace complained that media coverage of her case has embarrassed her and her family. Criminals are stupid. Maybe this should go in the what-makes-me-happy thread.

"It pains me to know my defining moments of womanhood will be spent in prison halfway around the world," she said.

"This will haunt me for the rest of my life."

Lagacé pleaded guilty in December. Counting the time she has already served behind bars, she will be eligible for parole in February 2021.



She and two other Quebecers, 64-year-old André Tamine and 23-year-old Mélina Roberge, were arrested Aug. 29, 2016, after the cruise ship they were travelling on, Sea Princess, docked in Sydney.
