An Albertan's fridge got delivered to wrong address. Then police say he grabbed his gun


Alberta Mounties say a delivery man who was simply trying to drop off a fridge, a washer and a dryer ended up getting punched and threatened with a rifle over the appliances.

The confrontation happened on Dec. 4 at a rural residence near Sundre in central Alberta.

The delivery driver had gone to the wrong address then parked his truck on the side of a road and called the customer, said Cpl. Gina Slaney.

Soon after, the customer drove up and gave the driver a new address but he was told that was impossible.

"You can't just change the delivery address," Slaney said Tuesday.

Slaney said the customer allegedly opened the truck door, punched the driver two or three times, then went back to his vehicle and returned with a long gun, threatening to kill the driver if the appliances didn't go where he wanted.



Canada's appeal dismissed in battle over fixing mould in Oneida grandmother’s home


The Canadian government has lost in court — again — to a First Nations grandmother fighting to fix extensive mould at her home on Oneida Nation of the Thames, near London, Ont.

The legal battle concerns Joanne Powless’s request for $200,000 through Jordan’s Principle for remediation work, which Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) denied, despite a doctor calling the service a "life-saving necessity" for Powless’s two grandchildren for whom she is the primary caregiver.

In a decision released Monday, the Federal Court of Appeal says ISC’s denial was unreasonable because it was neither justified, transparent nor intelligible. Worst of all, ISC failed to grapple with the potential consequences for the two young sisters with severe asthma made worse by mould, writes Justice K. A. Siobhan Monaghan.

With that much mold on one small ceiling you have to know the mold is everywhere. So yes, it's a total reno.

It's mandated under Jordan's Principle..

That's a separate question, and worth asking, but framing the house as "free" needs re-examining.

If my house has mold I'm on the hook for it.

If you're given a house as terms of a contract do you have to take care of it. Or is that someone else responsibility

This is an indigenous house on a reserve. In Canada. Housing funding is regulated by the Federal Government.

Canada ranked 12th ‘freest’ country amid global decline in human freedom: think tank


in reply to Sunshine (she/her)

Canada would be higher if we had proportional representation, with proper accountability in government.

First-past-the-post holds us back at 11-14th place on international rankings.


in reply to Sunshine (she/her)

Canada has been economically colonized. Governments of the past have allowed far too many Canadian businesses to be bought by foreign entities. If a Canadian company is going to collapse without foreign capital, maybe it should collapse. Or maybe they could be nationalized and reprivatized into viable businesses. Slapping a maple leaf on a company doesn't stop money from leaving Canada.

They do a lot for consumer products and even food.

If the actual product or food item from a foreign country is cheaper than the packaging which was produced in Canada ... it can technically be said to be from Canada.

It's always a guessing game to try to figure out where some of these things are made and produced.
