Michael Bagot died on may 21, 2018.  The Winnipeg police intervened because he behaved erratically on the street..

Matthew Fosseneuve died on july 29, 2018.  Two police cadets were dispached but because he acted agressively, regular policemen intervened.  A Taser was used thriced on him.  The 34 years old man died of a heart condition but the use of a Taser and the presence of méthamphétamines probably contributed.  However, the civilian director of the Office of Independant Investigations does not blame the police.  For more information on the Taser, consult : http://www.truthnottasers.blogspot.com

Free Britney!

 Since a brief hospitalisation in 2008, Britney Spears assets are administered by a court appointed conservator.  She had shaved her hair and attacked a paparazzi with an umbrella.  The first conservator was her father, Jamie Spears.  Later he shared this responsibility with Jodi Montgomery, Mr. Walle who paid himself 426,000$ per year, and Bessemer Trust.  At one point, her mother, Lynne tried to get a role of administrator but the judge denied the request.  A photo of Britney driving a car caused a commotion because she is not allowed to drive.  In november 2020, Britney said she will not perform until her conservatorship is lifted.  For more information, #freebritney and freebritney.net
