The Gazette’s Jesse Feith tells in some detail about the trial of an SPVM police officer for an apparently unprovoked push of a homeless Inuk man that resulted in a fall and a skull fracture. The incident happened in 2022.
The account says that Johnny Inukpak Tukalak stood 5’2″, weighed 120 lbs. and was unarmed, but police officer Williams Bélanger maintains that he felt he was at risk.
The judge’s decision is not expected till later.
Sadly, Tukalak died of an overdose last year.

A cyberattack on the private clinic that checks out municipal workers for medical time off means that confidential information about hundreds of people has been leaked. The clinic also counts Air Canada and the MUHC among its customers.

A young driver died overnight when he lost control of his car and it crashed into a tree in Lasalle. His passenger is in hospital. No mention of damage to the tree, but there never is.

In the subterranean root system where they all talk to each other you know they’re giving high fives to this buddy

I know we don’t care much for cars around here but a family is mourning his loss. Sounds like he was driving too fast but a life is a hell of a price to pay, maybe don’t joke about it.
Kate
Fair enough, dwgs. Sorry. But don’t blame Ian, I gave him the opening.
Ian
It’s always a good time for a very serious scolding. I know it’s been a while, might I suggest solving this problem with clowns?
dwgs
You’re all class Ian.

I live to serve, gentlemen. Don’t fall of that high horse, you might hurt yourself.

There was a case over a decade ago where a rotten tree on the edge of Westmount fell onto a car on Cote des Neiges and killed the driver, and the family hired Julius Grey to sue the city and its insurer, Lloyd’s, said that it’s a motor vehicle accident so covered under no fault insurance. Case was appealed to the Supreme Court, but the city/insurer and the SAAQ won, even though Grey and the family said it shouldn’t count because a pedestrian killed in such a way could sue. Obviously there’s no one to sue if you crash into a tree, but it’s interesting how wide “motor vehicle crash” is legally.
