The Special Investigations Unit is investigating the death of a 28-year-old man in a collision after an Ontario Provincial Police officer called off a police pursuit in Ottawa s south end.
Ontario Health Minister Sylvia Jones says the province is expanding a program that allows paramedics to take patients somewhere other than an emergency room, such as a mental health facility, or to treat them on scene. Jones says she will be releasing a broader plan this week aimed at health system stability and recovery.
Senegal is accusing Canadian police of savagely beating one of its diplomats earlier this week. The Gatineau police service says instead that it faced an aggressive person who allegedly injured two police officers.
