Other firefighters went out as crew on boats in lobster season, from Dumping Day in November through the last day of May, in Lobster Fishing Area 33, from Cow Bay to Port Latour. Shelburne, my old department, my old band of brothers, was the department at the center of the Nova Scotia wildfires that burned so hot in June that the smoke turned the sky orange over New York City and the Hamptons. Because I wasn’t on the attack truck and rarely came close to the flames, I didn’t qualify for new turnout gear.

Two human rights organizations and Canada’s public broadcaster will intervene in Peel police's legal battle to keep the identities of the officers involved in the 2020 death of Mississauga father Ejaz Choudry off the public record. The officers involved in the incident were cleared by Ontario's police watchdog in 2021. The CCLA will defend the open court principle at the hearing, Rahim said, arguing that the names of the officers involved be published. In this case, the officers argued their right to safety outweighs the public’s right to open court documents. Rahim, on the other hand, argues that releasing the officers' names is in line with procedure and allows citizens to pursue “appropriate” avenues of accountability.

November 20, 2023 —If you’ve noticed an uptick in colds, flu and COVID-19 — among children in particular — you’re not alone. The medical director at Health Sciences Centre Children’s Hospital emergency department in Winnipeg says there’s an increase in cases of respiratory illnesses in kids showing up in the ER. “Rhinovirus, COVID-19, respiratory syncytial virus [RSV], influenza — all the respiratory viruses — are really gathering steam,” said Dr. Karen Gripp, a pediatric emergency physician and associate professor at the University of Manitoba.

A shocking case in Saskatchewan has left the community reeling as a local man, Michael MacKay, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the poisoning of his wife, Cindy MacKay, on their family farm. The incident, which occurred in February 2020, has raised questions about trust, infidelity, and the devastating consequences of toxic relationships. According to court proceedings in Battleford, Michael MacKay mixed strychnine, a toxic pesticide, into a drink that he served his wife. The court heard that Michael MacKay had been engaged in an extramarital affair, a revelation that deepened the sense of betrayal in this tragic case. The emotional impact of this incident on the MacKay family serves as a painful reminder of how tragic and irreparable the consequences of violence can be.
