Yukon coroner identifies man fatally shot by police outside Whitehorse
Yukon's coroner has named the man shot and killed by RCMP on Tuesday, south of Whitehorse.
In a news release on Wednesday, the Yukon Coroner Service identified the deceased man as Christopher John Delaney, 55, of Whitehorse.
The shooting happened on Tuesday at approximately 1 p.m. near the McClintock River Bridge in Marsh Lake, about 50 kilometres southeast of Whitehorse, police said in an earlier news release.
RCMP said a warrant had been issued for the man's arrest in relation to a firearms incident over the weekend. They had earlier asked for the public's help to find Delaney, saying he was facing several weapons-related charges.
During the interaction with Delaney on Tuesday, "a police-involved shooting occurred, resulting in the death of the individual," the statement read.

Millions of Canadian homes have high levels of cancer-causing radon. Is yours one of them?
Roughly one in five residential buildings in Canada has high radon levels — a figure that’s more than doubled since the late 2000s — while radon-induced lung cancer kills an estimated 3,200 people each year, federal figures show.
Yep. We bought a test kit off of Amazon that gave us readings of 400+ Bqm on average which prompted me to buy a proper lab testable module. Months later my results came back and the area that was tested showed a bit over 330 +/- 60 Bqm, way past the upper limit of acceptable Radon levels.
I’ve got a guy coming in to install a fan, so we’ll see how that goes.
I'm in the same boat.
Does your province have any grants for installs? The grant process in BC is a nightmare.
We got a radon fan put in a few years back. Went from 120-180 with the windows shut in winter down to 0-10 year round.
Not that expensive, just do it. My poor neighbor across the street died of lung cancer. He smoked too but we can’t be sure his risk factors weren’t compounded. Lots of houses on our street have TV rooms in basements.
Ontario premier says election of a separatist party in Quebec would be a 'disaster'
Ontario Premier Doug Ford dipped his toe into Quebec provincial politics Wednesday, suggesting that the election of a separatist party in Quebec would be a 'disaster' for Canada.
Ford was speaking at a joint news conference with New Brunswick Premier Susan Holt before a meeting of provincial premiers.
That will likely be current Quebec Premier François Legault's final first ministers' meeting, as Legault announced earlier this month he would be resigning as premier once his party selects a new leader.
With the Parti Québécois (PQ)'s Paul St-Pierre Plamondon leading handily in opinion polls ahead of the fall provincial election, Ford and Holt were asked what it might be like to sit around the first ministers' table with a separatist premier.
I wish Druggie would just shut the fuck up already. He keeps yakking about other provinces like he's on a the campaign trail for PM, when in fact he's got a snowball's chance in hell of being elected as our leader.
Who in the fuck would want him leading Canada????
... like he's on a the campaign trail for PM
He could be depending what happens in the next few days with Pierre.

No charges laid in fatal Victoria police shooting in 2021
No charges will be laid against a Victoria Police Department officer who shot and killed a man in September 2021, according to the B.C. Prosecution Service.
On Sept. 12, 2021, VicPD officers responded to calls about a man in a mental health crisis who was holding a knife to his throat and threatening to kill himself.
Police fired beanbag rounds at the man while trying to keep him around the then-closed Island Savings Credit Union at Tolmie Avenue and Douglas Street, but he moved into nearby bushes.
“A trained crisis negotiator came and tried to calm him down, asking him to drop the knife,” said the B.C. Prosecution Service statement.
The man came out of the bushes with the knife and an unnamed police officer shot him once in the stomach.

'We were supposed to grow old together': Fiancée mourns man found day after crash
The fiancée of a man found dead in the snow after a crash last week in Ottawa is remembering him as a devoted father who worked long hours and came so near to seeing his family again.
The Special Investigations Unit (SIU), Ontario's police watchdog, said Ottawa police responded at 11:30 p.m. that night to reports of a vehicle rollover.
Officers did not locate anyone in or around the vehicle, the SIU said, and subsequently left the scene.
But the next morning, a police officer returned to the scene and found a dead man nearby, beneath the snow.
Seniors advocate seeks increased security at nursing homes amid sex-offences investigation in Saint John
A seniors advocate is calling for improved security measures at nursing homes across New Brunswick, as Saint John police investigate "offences of a sexual nature" at Loch Lomond Villa’s The Village involving at least 12 victims, some into their 90s.
"It's frightening to even think that this is happening in our homes," she said. "We're talking about vulnerable people here that can't defend themselves.”
The Saint John Police Force announced the investigation Jan. 23 after being alerted by staff at the 100-bed nursing home on the city's east side two days earlier.
Staff Sgt. Shawna Fowler said the family protection unit has identified "over a dozen" victims so far.
Although no one has been arrested yet, police do have a suspect, said Fowler.
It's not an employee or a resident, she said, but someone who is "affiliated" with the home.

Terry Pratchett’s novels may have held clues to his dementia a decade before diagnosis, our new study suggests
The author’s vocabulary narrowed a decade before diagnosis – a clue that could transform early dementia detection.The Conversation
There are two movies (that I know of) about him and bis battle with dementia:
Back in Black
Choosing to die
They are.. heavy, but also deeply moving. Especially the second one.
I may have to wait some time after my mom's battle with her dementia. Right now, it's too close. But, sounds like very important film work.
We know that millions of people are dealing with this, including caregivers. Highly visible celebs like Pratchett, Gene Hackman, and Bruce Willis, give us a sense of how pervasive it is. Robin Williams did not want to put his family through it. I can kind of understand that decision now.

in reply to ExtremeDullard • • •Nevermind, I solved my own problem. it was right there in the online help for
sub-replace-expression. The syntax to access the nth match in a\=expression issubmatch(n).So in my example, the correct line to achieve what I want is:
:let i=1 | %g/\(foo\|bar\)1/ s//\=submatch(1) . i/g | let i+=1All I had to do was keep reading instead of skimming the documentation 🙂
