Jimmy Carter, 39th US president, enters hospice care at homeATLANTA (AP) — Former President Jimmy Carter, who at 98 years old is the longest-lived American president, has entered home hospice care in Plains, Georgia, a statement from The Carter Center confirmed Saturday. Jason Carter, the couple's grandson who now chairs The Carter Center governing board, said Saturday in a tweet that he “saw both of my grandparents yesterday. The Carter Center last year marked 40 years of promoting its human rights agenda. That's a staggering drop from when The Carter Center began leading the global eradication effort in 1986, when the parasitic disease infected 3.5 million people. I would not deserve to be your president,” Carter said often as he campaigned.

A reserved table at Gabby’s diner on Danforth Avenue will soon turn into the centre of a memorial service in remembrance of frequent customer and retired CBC Radio journalist Michael Finlay, who died after an assault on the streets of Toronto. With a Pilsner in hand and chicken wings in front of him, Finlay sat time and again for six years at the same table in the diner, said the manager of the restaurant. “It’s just tragic seeing this happen to a guy you’ve known for almost half a century,” longtime friend Malcolm Morrison told the Star. Family and friends will remember Finlay on Tuesday Feb. 21 at the restaurant during a private event from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m.“This is where he came every day. If you were ever to walk by him and say hi, he would engage in a conversation,” said Gabby’s diner manager.

The Ottawa Senators understand that they lost out on the opportunity to earn two points. Patrick Kane tallied two goals, such as the goal that tied the game up, to send the game into overtime for Chicago (17-32-5). Kane tallied his second goal of the evening with only three minutes and five seconds left, equalizing the score. He noted that it was quite evident that Kane would take advantage of any slight chance given to him. Kane has scored nine goals and given out twenty assists against the Senators in the last twelve games, going all the way back to December 2015.

I hid my own drug use for years, and I can tell you that stigma does not inspire hope or change in a person. When people argue for punitive drug policies, they’re not motivating anyone to seek help. None of that inspired me to seek help when my drug use became an addiction. How does that stigma help anyone? Stigma is real and it’s killing people.

CSIS failed to fully consider human toll when disrupting threats, watchdog saysOTTAWA — A new report from the federal spy watchdog says the Canadian Security Intelligence Service failed to adequately consider the potentially serious adverse effects on people and their families when using its powers to disrupt potential threats. For instance, the disruption powers could permit CSIS to thwart travel plans, cancel bank transactions or covertly interfere with radical websites. Under the law, CSIS needs "reasonable grounds to believe" there is a security threat before taking measures to disrupt it. The review agency focused on the extent to which CSIS appropriately identified, documented and considered negative effects that the spy service's measures could have on people. The review agency found that CSIS's documentation of the information disclosed to such outside parties as part of threat reduction measures "was inconsistent and, at times, lacked clarity and specificity."

The NGO that promotes the rights and interests of Sami in Arctic Europe are demanding that Square Enix remove the “Far Northern Attire” from the latest version of their Final Fantasy game. “This is not about sensitivity or whether the depiction is appropriate,” Aslat Holmberg, president of the Saami Council, said in a news release on Friday. “These elements are Sami cultural property and Square Enix has infringed on our rights.”Square Enix is a Japanese company known for its role-playing video games. Holmberg said it’s discouraging to see what happened with Final Fantasy despite so much recent progress, especially in the gaming industry that’s become increasingly open in recent years. Holmberg said the Saami Council has not received a formal response from the company to their concerns.

Following the surprising Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) recall for their full self-driving (FSD) vehicles, it appears the electric vehicle giant did not disclose the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) requests for a recall in its most recent earnings. Instead, the firm announced some more than $1 billion in deferred revenue from FSD in its last earnings call. The NHTSA on Thursday filed a notice, stating that just under 363,000 vehicles equipped with the feature are being recalled. While being classified as a “recall,” Tesla will reportedly correct the software via an over-the-air, or OTA, update. On top of the nearly 363,000 vehicles Tesla is recalling, it is also recalling some more of its FSD-equipped models in Canada.

Trudeau says Canadians decided 2021 election outcome in spite of Chinese meddlingOTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Canadian voters alone decided the last federal election as he played down a report Friday that China tried to unduly sway the outcome. "All Canadians can have total confidence that the outcomes of the 2019 and the 2021 elections were determined by Canadians, and Canadians alone, at the voting booth," Trudeau said Friday when asked about the Globe story. Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre said Friday that Trudeau chose not to be transparent about Chinese interference because it benefited him. Suggestions that China tried to sway the outcome of the 2021 federal election are not new. A federal research unit detected what might be a Chinese Communist Party information operation that aimed to discourage Canadians of Chinese heritage from voting for the Conservatives.
