Alberta | GardaWorld offering $100,000 for info on theft
The Canadian Press
Security company GardaWorld is offering $100,000 to anyone with information about the latest in a string of attacks against its agents in Quebec.
Two masked men tied up two GardaWorld employees Thursday night at a Royal Bank of Canada branch in Montreal and made off with an undisclosed amount of cash.
Thursday’s theft was the fifth time in the past several months that Garda employees had been targeted while collecting money from financial institutions in the Montreal area.
In December thieves stole a Garda armoured vehicle parked outside a bank in Montreal while agents were inside the branch.
Earlier in 2014 a Garda agent shot and killed a suspect on Montreal’s South Shore as he allegedly tried to steal money from a Garda vehicle.

Maclean’s magazine calls Winnipeg the country’s “most racist” city in its latest edition.

McDonald said the article, which hits newsstands today, includes accounts of aboriginal people in Winnipeg who say they experience racism every day.

The man charged with first-degree murder in Quebec’s 2012 election shooting has been given one last chance to find himself a lawyer ahead of his trial.
Quebec Superior Court Justice Guy Cournoyer authorized a 30-day delay in the case Monday to allow Richard Henry Bain to undergo a court-ordered evaluation that should take place next week.
The judge ordered Bain, 64, to find an attorney before the case resumes Feb. 20.
Bain is also charged with two counts of attempted murder stemming from an attack outside a downtown Montreal club where then-PQ leader Pauline Marois was toasting her party’s election victory on Sept. 4, 2012.

Canadian Cancer stricken military denied disability claim over exposure to depleted uranium
CTVNews
A cancer-stricken warrant officer who served with the Canadian military for nearly three decades is facing a long appeal process after Veterans Affairs denied his application for disability compensation.
Alain Vachon of Calgary spent 27 years in military service, which included deployments to Afghanistan, Kuwait, Bosnia and Kosovo, among other places. For the past two years, he has been battling Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, a form of cancer that affects the lymphatic system.
Vachon believes his exposure to depleted uranium at Camp Doha in Kuwait caused his illness.
Ten parenting mistakes and how to prevent them
 |
| Sally Anscombe/Getty Images |
We hear it over and over again; every book, article and TV show confirms it: parenting is the hardest job on the planet. But is it really? Is raising a happy, healthy, well-behaved child truly more difficult than rocket science? Should it truly require a Ph.D or are we—as parents—looking to get off the hook for being judged for our mistakes? I tend to believe it’s more about the latter
10. You decide on a parenting “style” before your child is born and tell everyone how perfectly you will execute it. Talk about being destined to fail! Making a decision that huge before getting to know your child’s patterns will undoubtedly sabotage your every plan. The mother who intends to breastfeed exclusively will have a child with an allergy to nipples and the mom who is confident that corporal punishment is the only way, will give birth to a child who is hypersensitive to touch. Learn your child before you choose your lessons. And, if necessary, decide to adopt a parenting “mindset” rather than a style.
9. You don’t allow your children to play and explore. Children learn through play, and play includes struggling, making mistakes and even getting some bumps and bruises along the way. If we are constantly guarding, guiding and correcting their playtime, they will be afraid to try new things and, more importantly, they will not learn how to correct or soothe themselves.

British Woman fakes own DEATH to get out of dating man she met online
According to the UK Mirror, 29-year-old Ann-Marie Gray faked her own death to avoid seeing a man she had decided wasn't Mr. Right.
After a third date with the poor fellow whom she had met on an online dating site, Gray decided that she didn't want to see him again. But when she tried to let him down gently, he didn't get the hint.
Even when she flat-out told him it wasn't working, he persisted.
"He continued to message me and the day came when he sent one stating 'I think we need to have a date tonight! I will be around your house in 30 minutes.'"
Taking matters into her own hands, the quick-thinking Gray responded:
