Son says Canadian died in U.S. after declining hospital care due to deportation fear
Canadian dies amid fear of U.S. deportation: son
THE CANADIAN PRESS/Handout — Dylan Adamson (Mandatory Credit)
The son of a Canadian woman who died after a fall at her home in Point Roberts, Wash., earlier this month says she refused to seek treatment as she feared she would be detained by U.S. authorities or prevented from returning to the country.
Dylan Adamson says his 61-year-old mother was afraid to leave the United States because immigration authorities had recently commenced deportation proceedings, alleging she illicitly voted in a state election in 2018.
Health care is limited in Point Roberts, which is cut off from the rest of the United States and accessible by land only by travelling through British Columbia, and Adamson says his mother, Paige Adamson, refused to be taken to a hospital because she feared being unable to return home due to the deportation action.
Adamson says he only learned of his mother's fall after speaking with a firefighter who attended the scene of her death last Sunday, within a week of the accident.
The fall came about a month after Paige Adamson, a U.S. permanent resident, was heading home from a birthday dinner in nearby Tsawwassen, B.C., when American border officials held her for hours and questioned her about voting in the country.
Dylan Adamson says his mother did not recall registering to vote or casting a ballot, and the ensuing deportation proceedings sent her into a "panic."
Adamson, who lives in B.C., says he's been told paramedics who saw his mother before her death said to her that she needed to go to a hospital, but she signed a form declining further care because she was afraid of crossing the border.
"I'm just at a loss. Just because of a vote, my mom is dead. Just because of a stupid technicality, my mom is dead."

Jeremy d'OD Panama met les choses au clair concernant son travail de policier
« Il y en a beaucoup d'entre vous qui s'inquiétait pour mon travail... »
Arrivé en twist à la semaine 5, Jeremy n'aura fait qu'un bref passage à Occupation Double Panama, mais il a tout de même soulevé de nombreuses questions, notamment sur son travail. Le policier de 27 ans, qui a été éliminé après un peu plus d'une semaine dans l'aventure, est maintenant de retour au Québec et il a tenu à mettre certaines choses au clair auprès du public.

Son emploi dans les forces de l'ordre a effectivement fait jaser sur les réseaux sociaux alors que plusieurs questionnaient si cela pouvait nuire à sa crédibilité en tant que policier. Des rumeurs ont aussi circulé, selon lesquelles il aurait été congédié ou aurait dû démissionner pour participer à l’émission.
Ce 22 octobre, quelques jours après avoir repris sa vie quotidienne, Jeremy Thibodeau a abordé le sujet directement dans une vidéo partagée sur ses réseaux sociaux.
« J'ai vu sur les réseaux qu'il y en a beaucoup d'entre vous qui s'inquiétaient pour mon travail. Il y en a beaucoup qui pensent que j'ai dû démissionner de la police, que c'est sûr que j'ai plus ma place dans la police, qu'ils vont me congédier », a-t-il lancé d'emblée avant d'indiquer qu'il s'en allait justement au poste pour voir ses collègues.
« On va voir ça, est-ce que j'ai encore un job? Est-ce que je suis encore policier? Je pense que oui! On va voir ça. »
À la fin de sa vidéo, il a affirmé : « Bonne nouvelle, j'ai encore une job. Ceux qui pensaient que j'avais démissionné ou que j'étais fait mettre dehors, bin non! Votre boy est encore policier. »
Par contre, Jeremy a précisé qu’il est toujours en congé et qu’il ne renfilera donc pas l’uniforme dans l’immédiat.
Son aventure à Occupation Double
Durant son court séjour au Panama, Jeremy avait rapidement craqué pour Rébecca, qui le suivait déjà sur Instagram avant même son entrée dans les maisons. Les deux candidats ont finalement quitté l’aventure lors de la même soirée d’élimination.
La téléréalité Occupation Double Panama se poursuit et est diffusée du dimanche au jeudi à 18 h 30 sur Noovo et Crave.

Police investigating double murder in Quebec's Bas-St-Laurent region
Two women killed in Rivière-du-Loup shooting

The Canadian Press
Quebec provincial police are investigating after two women were shot and killed Thursday evening in the parking lot of a restaurant in Rivière-du-Loup, in Quebec's Bas-St-Laurent region.
Witnesses contacted emergency services at around 10:45 p.m. after hearing what they believed to be gunshots near the restaurant parking lot.
Responding officers found two women inside a vehicle who were seriously injured and appeared to have been shot.
One of the victims died at the scene, while the other died a short time later in hospital.
No arrests had been made as of Friday morning.
Quebec provincial police are still working to identify the victims and say it's too early to discuss the circumstances surrounding the crime.
Newly-appointed Domestic Security Minister Guy Jr. Lapointe offered his condolences to the loved ones of the two victims.
“Violence claims too many victims in Quebec, and beyond each tragedy, it is the public’s sense of security that suffers every time,” he wrote on social media.
Lapointe, who was sworn in as minister on Wednesday, said he was “determined to combat violence and ensure that every Quebecer can feel safe.”

People Are Roasting The New Apple Mac Pro Made In Austin
So apparently Apple is listening to the fans by giving us what we want. They are releasing a newly, re-designed Mac Pro right out of Austin, and it's super exciting. Austin, Texas is a huge tech hub now, so to have bragging rights on an Apple product is even cooler. But while many would simply nod their heads to this news and move on, others want a say in this. Reddit users have taken to their platform to give their two cents on what they want Texans to contribute, and it's making for some hilarious reactions.
Texas is a pretty easy state to make fun of. Even people who live here find jokes about one of the most prideful states in the world hilarious. That, or they make them themselves. Reddit is probably one of the greatest platforms to roast anything going viral at the moment. So when news broke yesterday that the new Mac Pro would be manufactured in Austin, Reddit users wasted no time.

BBQ and bullets are just two of the notable mentions in the comments on one particular thread. After the iPhone 11 underwent scrutiny for the way the cameras looked, you'd think the Mac Pro would be getting made fun of for it's appearance as well. But no, the fact that it's being made in Texas is funny all on its own.
[rebelmouse-image 25949331 photo_credit="Screen Grab | Reddit" expand=1 original_size="750x168"]
The company is making big moves with this decision, and we can't wait to see what they continue to come out with. For now, scrolling through Reddit and even other social media platforms where jokes about Texas can be found is the move. What's that Spongebob episode again?
