'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.

How Canada and Sweden are redefining northern security and co-operation
Excerpt:
For many years, co-operation between Canada and Sweden was often viewed through a narrow lens — defence procurement. Discussions about fighter aircraft, technical specifications and military benefits tended to dominate attention.Yet focusing only on defence equipment obscures a deeper shift now under way. What began as a technical defence relationship has gradually evolved into broader strategic convergence rooted in shared geopolitical interests, mutual economic benefits and a common understanding of the North.
As a researcher in Canadian studies, I am particularly interested in Swedish–Canadian relations as both countries seek to to strengthen the resilience of their political and economic systems.
This evolution in the relationship hasn’t happened overnight. It’s developed incrementally through political dialogue, institutional trust and shared security concerns.
It also comes after Canada signed a contract in January 2023 to acquire 88 Lockheed Martin F-35A Lightning II fighters from the United States and has committed funds for 16 of them.
The Canadian government is reconsidering the remaining portion of the planned purchase amid ongoing tensions with the U.S., but American officials have warned that cancelling the deal could require changes in bilateral air defence co-operation and lead the U.S. to assume a greater operational role.
But at the same time, Ottawa is examining a Swedish offer of 72 Saab Gripen jets and six GlobalEye aircraft.
How Canada and Sweden are redefining northern security and co-operation
As global tensions rise, Canada and Sweden are shifting from defence procurement to long-term strategic alignment across security, industry and Arctic governance.The Conversation

Yeah, but think of how iconic the "post-incident" pics will be with this in the background.

Well, it looks like you might be trying to pull a fast one with all those fake documents and faux patriotism. Step out of the vehicle–you’re off to El Salvador.
Not sure how to handle this one let's check the manual:
- Point
- Shoot
Damn I wish I could read
But do you have the latest ranged defence system with active threat detection, automatic manoeuvre solution generation and trajectory determined smart countermeasure deployment, which provides protection from APCBC, SAPHECBC, APFSDS, HEATFS ATGM-OTA and ATGM-VT*?
NO!
There's not even a wide spectrum RADAR over there.
Driving a vehicle is grounds to be shot.
Those documents don't help when the guy with a gun can't read.
Yeah, it seems like the vast majority of these folk are long past saving nowadays. Figure 3 should say:
“If the first removed boot doesn’t stop them from choking, it’s too late for them. Beat them to death with the first boot.”
they used to, somewhat!
now its literally just what they are told.
- recognize universal sign of choking
- recognize ICE badge
- point and laugh

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.

Mexico rejects claims of ‘political suspension’ of oil shipments to Cuba
Mexico's President Claudia Sheinbaum says the decision on whether her country sends oil to Cuba remains a matter of national sovereignty. Her remarks come in response to international media reports claiming shipments had been suspended due to pressure from the United States.Mexico is one of the main suppliers of oil to Cuba following the U.S. attack on Venezuela on January 3, which ended with the abduction of President Nicolás Maduro and his wife. Following the attack, President Donald Trump called for a full blockade on oil shipments from Venezuela to Cuba.
Mexico and Venezuela, close allies of Cuba, have helped supply oil amid the island’s fuel shortages.

-Organize with your neighborhood and city to form mutual aid networks capable of resisting coercion (like we were always going to be forced to do anyway)
-Failing that, make literally any demands of the blue fascist party whose endless imperial dipshittery you slavishly indulged at every turn. Use any fucking leverage at all instead of showing your belly preemptively.
-Failing all else, simply do not set the precedent that a candidate can run on the wholesale fascist extermination of an entire people and still receive your support. Simply do not throw 2 million human beings into the jaws of death as a matter of cowardice and taint yourself forever as a collaborator of Holocaust 2. Its actually super easy not to do that.
That ship has sailed now, and nobody is going to want you in their antifascist organization now that you've loudly declared your willingness to sell out the vulnerable. I think at this point you should probably just like, crawl under a rock and never come out.
I dont feel like organizing
"...therefore i must support genocide! There was nothing else I could do, I didn't feel like it!"
Get a cyanide pill ready for Nuremburg 2 buddy
Uh yeah im not concerned with being a part of an imaginary group. The Lemmy desire to make believe that someone saying they dont vote for the violent dictator and are wanting to vote to make their party align with their values is the same as someone supporting genocide is stupid.
This is why its such an ineffective argument. It makes you sound completely out of touch with reality. It reminds me of the various factions at the beginning of "The Life of Brian."
Imaginary group
Damn someone better tell all those states they put an imaginary group on the ballot. I ain't even reading the rest of your bad faith bullshit, the fact that you don't care to do anything but support genocide and "didn't feel like organizing", and even now go to absurd lengths to defend your disgusting lazy slug fascism, has earned you a seat in hell and a place in a summary court before that. I can also tell you're exactly the kind of coward who will, when the tables are turned, pretend to have been on the side of humanity all along. Luckily you're as shit a liar as you are a person, and I doubt you'll escape justice.
And we're just going to continue to pretend that Republicans don't exist. Because only the Democrats get judged around here.
OP apparently doesn't know what gaslighting means.
No that was trump
I was at UCLA during the Biden administration when the four armored pigs broke some college kid's arm in front of me, you lying little worm. I still remember the sound.
Traitor is when you refuse to support Palestinian genocide
I mean yeah, I proudly consider myself a traitor to Amerikkka. If you're not at this point, you're either ignorant to the point of uselessness or have something unfixably wrong with you🤷♂️. But seethe about it I guess

I'm incredibly skeptical of any strategy that depends on trying to "convince" capitalist organizations to help the people. This is entirely contrary to how the working class has historically taken power, the organization must itself be a worker organization. Lady Izdihar made an excellent model of the Leninist theory of revolutionary organization:
Worker organizing has consistently been the most effective and widespread form of gaining working class control. We cannot simply appeal to congress, even if we could flip one against the system they represent, they would be drummed out of the party and relentlessly harassed. The capitalist system protects itself from within, and must be overthrown by the working class.
I no longer vote for neoliberals or folks who have ever received aipac money or money from the other Israeli lobbies.
Period.
Works for me.
Edit: Willing to change my stance if they come out publicly against money in politics and actually get it passed, locally or otherwise.
I vote every election. Not sure what you’re mumbling about.
Blue no matter who got us where we are today. The democratic leadership is pathetic as fuck.
Yea I do it a lot too, I guess I was asking what you mean maybe. Not sure. I get attacked from the center and the far left I suppose not including the right
I guess I care more about the far left and the center than I do about the right but I don’t see it like a football team maybe
That’s not me downvoting you at all by the way
Oh are we already starting with the "democrats are just as bad, so dont vote in protest" memes again?
Get the fuck out of here. This bullshit is why our country is what it is right now. Millions of people who voted Dem chose to not vote, and millions more repuplican voter did vote because of the election fraud bs pushing them to 'outvote' the dems.
You wanna have a discussion about the problems with both sides? Save it for after the fascists are out of our streets, and back in the rat holes they belong in.
Save it for after the fascists are out of our streets, and ~~back in the rat holes they belong in.~~ back on the streets of those brown people countries, doing mass murder where I don't have to see it or think about it👍
Democrats support ICE, Democrats support Israel, Israel trains ICE.
If you don't consider the Democratic party to be fascist, it's because you don't see foreigners as human.

The party is necessary to actually overthrow the government. Voting for said party helps show that the present system is rigged, and helps get the word out about their platform. See Lady Izdihar's diagram on the Leninist theory of revolution:
In short, PSL is a revolutionary party that engages in electoralism not for belief in winning, but as a part of revolutionary strategy.
Should we Participate in Bourgeois Parliaments? - V. I. Lenin
Even if only a fairly large minority of the industrial workers, and not “millions” and “legions”, follow the lead of the Catholic clergy—and a similar minority of rural workers follow the landowners and kulaks (Grossbauern)—it undoubtedly signifies that parliamentarianism in Germany has not yet politically outlived itself, that participation in parliamentary elections and in the struggle on the parliamentary rostrum is obligatory on the party of the revolutionary proletariat specifically for the purpose of educating the backward strata of its own class, and for the purpose of awakening and enlightening the undeveloped, downtrodden and ignorant rural masses. Whilst you lack the strength to do away with bourgeois parliaments and every other type of reactionary institution, you must work within them because it is there that you will still find workers who are duped by the priests and stultified by the conditions of rural life; otherwise you risk turning into nothing but windbags.
Lenin's argument was that even if an electoral system is deeply flawed, participation is necessary in order to reach people who are invested in the system. In addition to spreading the message, it also provides a way to assess the strength and popularity of a platform, and it can serve as a means of testing and weeding out prospective leaders who might be opportunists.
I love these asinine takes. I've yet to have a single person come up with a convincing argument about how I helped Trump, but let's see you give it a shot.
I didn't vote for Kamala(or Trump, before some braindead moron claims otherwise)
I live in California.
California historically has voted blue for the last ~60 years.
Predictably, Kamala won California by a large margin like any sane person expected.
So how did my vote help Trump? I showed my displeasure with the Democrat Party AND Kamala still got my states electoral votes regardless. So how, exactly, did my vote support Trump?
Or is there actually a shitload of nuance to this issue that you conveniently throw out the window? This is a braindead MAGA level cope.
Living in australia right now. We still have a 2 party system, we still don't have socialism. Still 99% of people you talk to will say communism works great in theory but in practice...
I wished preferential voting would have changed things, but it doesn't.

This is exactly what the OP is about
I don't feel democrats are going to do anything for me. Yet I still feel heavy pressure to vote for then
The Democrat party is so incompetent. The election losses are their fault. Stop shaming people for not voting for a platform they hate, and shame the party for a terrible platform of inaction
Hows that genocide going by the way
Exactly the same as it was when your blue fash heroes were running the show
