Is it possible to settle my separation without having to go to court?
Can you get a legal separation in Ontario without seeing a judge?
Yes, absolutely! In Ottawa, you have several alternatives to resolve your separation without resorting to court proceedings. Catherine Calvert is the Managing Lawyer at Simard & Associates, practicing in Family Law, and she is also a Family Law Mediator. Catherine knows how sensitive and challenging a separation can be and can help you by providing professional, cost-effective and compassionate support throughout the process. She is here to help you explore your options.
What are the alternatives to going to court for my separation in Ottawa?
Mediation: You and your spouse can sit down with a family law mediator who will facilitate discussions to reach mutually agreeable terms for your separation. This process is generally more amicable and less adversarial than going to court.
Collaborative Family Law: This approach involves each party hiring their own lawyer, but instead of heading to court, the lawyers and the couple work together in a series of meetings to find a resolution that meets both parties' needs.
Arbitration: An arbitrator, acting as a private judge, will make decisions based on the evidence presented by both sides. This option offers more flexibility in scheduling and privacy compared to going to court.
Negotiation: You and your spouse can work with lawyers specializing in family law to draft a comprehensive separation agreement that outlines the terms of your separation, including parenting, support, and property division.
What are the benefits of choosing an alternative to court for my separation?
According to Catherine, opting for an alternative dispute resolution method can offer several advantages, including:
Less Stress and Conflict: Court proceedings can be emotionally draining and adversarial, while alternative methods foster open communication and cooperation, reducing conflict and stress.
Privacy and Confidentiality: Court cases are public record, whereas many alternative methods ensure privacy and confidentiality, allowing you to keep personal matters out of the public eye.
Cost-Effectiveness: Generally, alternatives to court are more cost-effective, as they often involve fewer legal fees and streamlined processes.
Customized Solutions: Alternative methods allow you and your spouse to have more control over the outcome, ensuring solutions that suit your unique family dynamics.
How long does it typically take to resolve a separation using an alternative method in Ottawa?
The timeline for resolving a separation using alternative methods can vary depending on the complexity of your situation and the willingness of both parties to cooperate. While court cases can drag on for several months or even years, alternative methods often lead to quicker resolutions, often within a few months.
Do I need a lawyer if I choose an alternative method for my separation?
Having a lawyer represent you during an alternative dispute resolution process is highly recommended but not mandatory. An experienced family law lawyer can provide valuable guidance, protect your rights, and ensure your interests are well-represented throughout the negotiation or mediation process. Lawyers are not required in the mediation process.
What if my spouse is not willing to cooperate in the alternative process?
In some cases, one party may be hesitant to cooperate in an alternative dispute resolution. However, with the right approach and skilled legal representation, it's still possible to find common ground. Your lawyer can help navigate any challenges and work towards a resolution that is fair and reasonable for both parties.
What happens if we cannot reach an agreement through alternative methods?
If an agreement cannot be reached through alternative methods, court may become necessary. However, this is usually a last resort. Catherine and the team of family law lawyers at Simard & Associates will exhaust all possibilities for negotiation and mediation before considering court proceedings.
Separating from your partner is difficult enough, and you don’t want to add to the stress with a lengthy court battle. There are alternatives to court that can help navigate the complexities of separation with professionalism and compassion. Contact the lawyers at Simard & Associates to find out how they can help guide you through alternative dispute resolution, ensuring your rights are protected and your voice is heard.

If you wanted to know more about the saga of protests and resistance against Canada’s open-pit copper mining in Panama:
---
Screenshot and headline from: “Canadian firm blames Panama for closure of copper mine.” AP News. 16 December 2022.
---
Headline from: “Panama: Canadian mining company First Quantum denied to expand copper exploitation area for alleged failure with environmental commitments.” Business & Human Rights Resource Centre. 26 January 2023.
---
Headline from: Valentine Hilaire. “Panama won’t allow Canada’s First Quantum to expand its copper mine operations.” Reuters. 26 January 2023.
---
Headline by: The Associated Press. “Panama reaches 20-year deal with Canadian copper mine.” As republished at ABC News. 8 March 2023.
---
An excerpt and explanation:
In Panama, a dispute has emerged of a type that is common to countries in Central and South America: a huge transnational company has invested in the country’s resource wealth, resulting in a conflict over suitable payments to the government that draws in officials from the company’s nation of origin in defence of corporate profits. In this case, the company in question is First Quantum Minerals, a mining giant with lucrative investments across the Global South -- and the country of origin is Canada.
This summer [2022], Panamanians rose up in nationwide protests against the neoliberal status quo imposed on the country by the government of Laurentino Cortizo. Beginning on July 1, these protests brought together diverse groups including teachers, students, trade unionists, farmers, and Indigenous organizations [...]. The causes of the summer 2022 protests go back decades and help illustrate the dynamics of the current conflict between First Quantum (and their backers in Ottawa) and the Panamanian state.
Throughout the 1990s, Canada aggressively pushed for states in Central and South America to adopt neoliberal reforms that would permit more foreign investment and fewer regulations for transnational companies. [...]
Several protest movements emerged in Panama in the 2010s in opposition to the effects of free market reforms generally and the predominance of Canadian mining specifically. At the heart of these resistance movements is the Canadian-owned Cobre Panamá mine, which is the largest foreign investment in the country [...].
---
Cobre Panamá was owned by the Toronto-headquartered Inmet Mining until 2013, at which point it was acquired by Vancouver-based First Quantum. In 2011, the Martinelli government attempted to limit the Indigenous Ngäbe-Buglé nation’s rights to autonomy and self-government in order to grant mining companies access to minerals on their land. Meanwhile, Martinelli repealed a law that prevented foreign governments from investing in the mining sector -- a gift to Canada’s Inmet Mining, which at the time was seeking financing from the sovereign wealth funds of Singapore and South Korea.
These moves sparked protests that continued into 2012. Martinelli responded to demands for the annulment of mining and hydroelectric concessions on Indigenous territory with violence by dispatching riot police. The police killed one protestor, injured thirty-two, and detained forty. The protestors did not budge; instead, they blocked the entrances to Cobre Panamá and another mine owned by the Canada’s Petaquilla Minerals. Eventually Martinelli relented and vowed not to approve mining projects on or near Ngäbe-Buglé lands.’
---
During the 2011-2012 conflict, nobody in the Canadian government issued a single statement on the matter. When protestors took to the streets again in 2022, Ottawa released a statement that totally omitted the reasons behind the uprising.
Following the economic shock of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Cortizo government declared that Panama’s recovery would rely on incentivizing foreign investment in the mining sector. Social movements have by and large rejected this new arrangement due to the history of corrupt collaboration between state officials and foreign companies and the weakness of environmental protections.
---
For example, in April 2022 the Panama Worth More Without Mining Movement -- which arose in opposition to the Canadian-owned Cobre Panamá mine -- released a report that found over 200 “serious” breaches of environmental commitments by the project managers, including the breaking of reforestation promises, “the felling of 876 hectares… in an area of high biodiversity and international importance,” and “the discharge of waste from the tailings tank into natural bodies of water without official endorsement.”
Following the summer 2022 protests, the Cortizo government announced plans to reform the mining sector by instituting greater regulations on foreign companies. In the meantime, the Panamanian state and First Quantum were in the process of negotiating a renewed contract. Jason Simpson, CEO of Canada’s Orla Mining (which is hoping to begin extraction at its Cerro Quema gold project), said, “The biggest story in Panama is Cobre Panamá, so as the government works through their renewed contract law for First Quantum’s asset there, that’ll take priority… We’ll be patient for that to be resolved and then we hope to get working on construction in Panama.”
The negotiations for the renewal of the Cobre Panamá contract began in September 2021. The two parties agreed that First Quantum would provide Panama with between 12 and 16 percent of its gross profit, a new rate that would replace the previous two percent revenue royalty. [...]
---
Much like Ottawa jumped to the defence of Centerra Gold following Kyrgyzstan’s nationalization of the Kumtor gold mine last year, the Trudeau government has taken a keen interest in Cobre Panamá and, according to the unnamed Reuters source, is actively backing the mining company’s position. Given Canada’s long history of support for neoliberal reforms and transnational investment in Central and South America, Ottawa’s support for First Quantum in these negotiations should come as no surprise.

Kirishima's Mystique: Weapon XXX-23
Canada, the great white north, a vast wide little land consisting of regions such as Toronto, Ottawa and Quebec. Currently within the serene wildness of the Canadian rockies, our resident Red Riot and his cotton candy link Alien Queen were having themselves a little camping trip. Nothing said summer fan like gong hiking around a different country as the sturdy and acidic pair were busy setting up shop. Mina busy prepping the picnic spot and gathering up some kindling for a campfire, that is when she wasn’t busy stealing some glances at her man.
Sensually biting her lip as his tanktop did a grand job showing off that pair of gun shows he called his arms. If there was a vet around,she’d have to call about some “sick pythons”, that was for sure, his biceps and biceps pumped and flexed from all that effort and goddamn was it making her thirsty as all fuck. Rubbing her thighs together as she tried to keep her dirty thoughts at bay, at least until they'd finished setting up camp. Pouting adorably as she thought of how lonely she and Kirishima felt without the third wheel of their tricycle.
Mina:"It's still such a bummer Maya couldn't join us on this trip. I mean granted not often she gets to visit home..."*The cotton candy bombshell quipped as she was still feeling a bit incomplete without their shared girlfriend. Maya of course was indeed spending a week or two in her home of Jagua del Toro which did remind Mina of one thing. They definitely had to go their for sure, she just knew that place wasn't just famous for its beaches, but especially the babes. The kind of babes she and Maya knew would get their Riot all nice and riled up....*
Kirishima:"Ah it is what it is, sometimes but hey next time around we might go with her there, right?"*The sturdy hero quipped in response as he continued nearing completion of the tent. Missing the erotic leer Mina shot his way as she began making her way towards him, lust glowing in her golden racoon eyes. Who could blame her when her man was looking so delicious and fuckable, those firm muscles of his in motion as he worked away on setting up their camp. She had to think it wasn't all bad given she and Kirishima could fuck as much as they wanted, loud as they wanted without anyone to bother them but the critters of nature.*
Any further personal musings of thought or conversation dirty or otherwise when they heard some very loud sounds incoming from nearby their way. Sounds of a very telltale nature that implied combat and conflict of a struggle that was very intense. Being of heroic personality of course the red and pink duo knew they had to intervene and go see what the situation was and just their luck that had to be quite a doozy. Upon investigation of course that wound up being proven to be quite the understatement.
But of course how often were you to likely run into some petite but well toned feisty but fierce girl clad in leather swinging pair of duel bladed claws in her hands like a wild animal. Small wonder she was fighting of course given she was going up against a group of misfits from the infamous Brotherhood, one of the most notorious quirk supremacist gangs around. Suffice to say that what was followed was an intense battle to say the least but numbers weren’t a problem when You had a duo like Pinky and Red Riot backing you up. Oh come on, you really think I’m gonna go into details about how the battle went?
Yeah I thought so, we all know what you’re all really here for so let’s get this show on the road, shall we? After the ragtag renegade band of villains were rounded up followed by some questions and statements with local law enforcement, the red and pink duo were soo back in their camp now with the added company of their new friend they'd saved. A young girl by the name of X-23, or Laura as she found most preferred to call her and to say her lifestory was complex and tragic was an understatement. But she wasn't one to dwell on the past, least compared to how she was then compared to now though it could be hard to tell with how calm, composed and stoic she was.
But she proved to be willing to try and socialise and it helped that Kirishima and Mina had a natural friendliness and affability about them that made them easy to like. Laura certainly had to say mina's peppy motor mouth and spunkiness rather reminded her of Jubilee in a way as the trio enjoyed some small talk and a little bit of the natural tranquillity and serenity of nature of course. Soon of course dusk began to make itself known as the Canadian wilderness became bathed in the fading light and shade of the setting sun as the trio enjoyed a little peace and quiet and making some s'mores around the campfire before Kirishima and Mina decided to call it a night but not before offering to set up a spare tent for Laura to enjoy some privacy as well as peace and quiet. Leaving her be to enjoy the campire while it lasted as they ducked into their own tent a few feet away.
Laura of course wasn't clueless or naive as she seemed to the duo and what they were really up to at this very moment. Her enhanced senses could pick up the sounds and scents of what was going on so close yet so far from her in their tent. The slapping of skin on skin, the clapping of asscheeks as Mina struggled to keep her volume down against the relentless assault of pleasure coming from her boyfriend as he danced the oldest dance known to men and woman with her sexy pink self. It was, quite frankly, intoxicating for the young woman as she felt leather clad thighs becoming soaked with sticky nectar flowing from her quivering pussy.
Oh she certainly appreciated their civility and politeness in not wanting to disturb or offend her with their passion and desire but if anything it made her curios. Despite how cool, calm and stoic she seemed, internally was a different story as she felt that innate primal beast within her stirring. The beast within that desired to mate and breed, sensing the presence of a strong, worthy alpha male, an instinct she felt the moment she'd laid eyes on Kirishima and his feats of strength and power from when he and Mina had helped her out earlier today. Hence she saw no lack of logic in her next set of moves to make as she got up from her seat by the weakening campfire and made her way over the lovers' tent.
The closer she got, the more intense the sounds and scents of their erotic mating hit her senses turning her on something fierce, a glowing red blush on her face as she silently panted with husky desire, eyes glowing with rising lust as she approached the tent. Kneeling down as she stealthily, slowly unzipped the entry way and peeked inside to find quite the delightful show happening before her. The sight of Mina mounted atop her chivalrous Himbo cowgirl style as she bounced her bubbly cotton candy pink booty on that shaft of his. Which she could gleam had to have quite the length and girth on it if the rising bump in Mina's stomach was anything to go by, the alien queen sensually biting her lip, perky pink titties bouncing as she caressed her man's washboard abs while he held her hips firmly.
Eijiro of course hadn't yet noticed their sudden voyeur but Mina's lust hazed golden eyes did, sending her a secret sensual smile Laura's way. The goth-like Wolverine clone knowing enough body language to know Mina wasn't just asking if she was enjoying this show but inviting her to join. After all why watch when it'd be better to share the fun together? Laura of course got the hint easily enough as to Mina’s delight, she began to strip down until she was naked as the day she was born.
Kirishima of course was none the wiser until he suddenly found his view of Mina bouncing on his Lil’ Riot suddenly obscured by Laura straddling his face as she sat and parked her toned perky ass atop it. Grinding and rubbing her slit before she let out soft gasps and moans as she felt his tongue respond to lick and lap away at her flowing nectar. Mina's sensual smile widening as she continued to bounce away on her lover's cock, leaning forward to press her lip's to their new sex friend's own. Tongues dancing together in their growing bond of intimacy as the girl most knew as X-23 expressed her gratitude in a way that felt fun and natural for her.
The campfire had long since gone out but the fires of passion in this threesome only continued to burn bright well long into the night as moans and the primal rhythm of skin on skin filled the wild Canadian air. The tent a tangle of limbs shifting and dancing through a variety of positions and combinations of 2 on one to one on one as one third of the kinky group would catch their breaths. Laura or Mina eating one another out as the hard-headed redhead pounded them doggy style or in missionary to Mina fingering herself with erotic delight as she looked on at the female Wolverine getting it deep and hard in a mating press. Laura was clearly no virgin by any stretch but hotdamn if it wasn't clear she hadn't been with someone on the level that Kirishima and his Alien Queen were at, and this was without their resident blue shapeshifting bombshell girlfriend!!
Naturally Mina was making plans to send Maya the details of this illicit little encounter with their lovely new friend, that is once they woke up in the morning of course. Right at the moment was about feeling as good as they possibly can, as Laura herself now watched on as she recovered her stamina. Probing her pussy with her fingers as she looked on at Mina getting it deep and hard while that flexible bubblegum pink bombshell body of hers was held by Kirishima in a full nelson as he knelt on the tent ground. Grunting and groaning as Mina was rocked with orgasms which only skyrocketed as she soon found Laura licking away at their conjoined loins, lust glowing in those cool eyes of hers. Which the horned girl of course found so damn hot....
By the time this little threesome had finally finished, dawn was kicking in as it bathed the wilderness in the radiant glow of sunrise's light. The tent warmly glowing adding to the afterglow shared by the 3 as Laura laid draped atop Kirishima while Mina spooned and hugged her boyfriend's side. Their bodies glistening with sweat and spent juices as Laura held a soft, rare little smile on her face, thinking to herself she needed more than just the one night. Reminding herself that she had come out looking to find herself spiritually and now she was thinking maybe she might be able to do that if she transferred to Japan, especially once she learned which campus Kirishima and Mina went to.
Not long after this unexpected acquaintanceship encounter in Canada, Laura's well known, imfamous father had his clone daughtered texting with enquiries about arranging a transfer or entry into an exchange program for hero schools in Japan. While Maya found herself getting a delightful surprise in the form of a few texts and videos, especially of the sexy variety from her fave Pinky and definitely liking what she saw. Reminding herself she should definitely get a few of her gal pals in Jagua to come meet her girlfriend and especially their boyfriend and ooh some gals in Japan should definitelt come to her little home paradise. The beaches were hot but the dudes and bitches were hotter!!
Sometimes it wasn't easy being a student for a hero school, especially when yours was the generation that had to deal with quirk erasing yakuza bosses, a quirk hoarder with a demon god complex and a nihilistic hand-freak among other things. But other times it made for quite the love life when you found romance especially when going camping somewhere like in some woods in Canada made you get lucky. Yeah a mouthful I know but hey, you know what they say. How sweet it is....

While the US House of Representatives ousts its weakest Speaker in modern history, , Canada gets its first black Speaker of the House of Commons.
Canada’s House of Commons has elected Liberal MP Greg Fergus as speaker — the first time a Black Canadian will hold the role.
Fergus, who represents a Quebec riding across the river from Ottawa, bested six other candidates: Chris d’Entremont, Carol Hughes, Alexandra Mendès, Peter Schiefke, Sean Casey and Elizabeth May.
Fergus takes on the task of presiding over a fractious House. “What motivates me, and what I vow to work night and day to promote and advance, can be summed up in one word, respect,” Fergus said during a short speech before polling stations opened in the chamber.
He promised to be “firm, thoughtful, collaborative, consistent and certainly fair.”
🍁 But that's not the only political first in Canada this week. 🍁
The province of Manitoba held elections on Tuesday which swept the left of center New Democratic Party (NDP) into power defeating the incumbent Progressive Conservative Party (PC). The Manitoba Liberal Party (MLP) placed a poor third in the election.
The leader of the Manitoba NDP is Wab Kinew who will become Canada's first indigenous provincial premier.
Manitoba NDP to form majority government in historic win for First Nations premier
Wab Kinew, who is to become Canada's first First Nations provincial premier, spoke to young Indigenous people and those from all backgrounds in his victory speech Tuesday after the NDP won a majority in the Manitoba election.
"I was given a second chance in life," Kinew said to a cheering crowd. "And I would like to think that I have made good on that opportunity. And you can do the same."
Kinew's late father was not allowed to vote as a young man under Canadian law at the time. His mother's birthday was election night, and he brought her on stage to celebrate the historic win along with his wife and three sons.
The NDP will end up with 34 seats in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba – up from 18. The PC will have 22 – down from 35. And the MLP will have 1 – down from 3. There was one vacant seat prior to the election.
29 seats are required for a majority government.

World leaders, spies and mafia dons: Who’s who in Boris Birshtein’s world
Back in the 1990s, Boris Birshtein introduced some Canadian businessmen to Vladimir Putin, then the deputy mayor of St. Petersburg. Almost a quarter-century later, Mr. Birshtein’s son-in-law, Alex Shnaider, became the business partner of Donald Trump on a downtown Toronto hotel.
In between, Mr. Birshtein met with a checkered cast of world leaders, spies and mafia dons.
The question that lingers, even now: Who, besides himself, did Mr. Birshtein represent at those meetings? Was he an asset of the KGB and its successor agency, the FSB, as diplomats I spoke to were convinced? Was he associated with the Russian mafia, as police forces in Canada, the United States and Europe believed? Or was he more of a Forrest Gump character, just a businessman with incredible luck and timing?
Here’s a short list of some of the connections Mr. Birshtein developed during his long career in the shadows of international events.
Seabeco: Boris Birshtein’s company, and the centre of his network. Though it exists only on paper now, Seabeco made a reported US$500-million a year in the 1990s. It did so primarily by buying up raw materials produced in the former USSR, and then selling them abroad at inflated prices. Mr. Birshtein and Seabeco also played guide and partner to big Canadian firms – including Molson, Gillette and Magna International – as they entered the ex-Soviet market.
Vladimir Putin: A Winnipeg firm hoping to build a hotel in St. Petersburg in the early 1990s was told it needed to work with Seabeco. When construction of the hotel came to a halt due to a shortage of gravel, Mr. Birshtein introduced the Canadians to the deputy mayor of the city – a young Vladimir Putin – who solved the crisis. Mr. Putin, a former KGB agent, later travelled to Canada on an under-the-radar trip that saw him visit Winnipeg, Ottawa, Toronto and Niagara Falls.
Boris Yeltsin: In his memoirs, Russia’s first president describes being tricked into meeting Mr. Birshtein by his own security minister. The president and the businessman didn’t get along, and Mr. Yeltsin later accused Mr. Birshtein of providing financial support to a failed 1993 bid to oust him from power. Nearly 200 people were killed after Mr. Yeltsin deployed the army to end the uprising.
Alex Shnaider: Mr. Birshtein’s son-in-law and a former Seabeco employee. Mr. Shnaider became a billionaire largely via a series of deals in eastern Ukraine that occurred while Mr. Birshtein wielded wide influence over the government of president Leonid Kuchma. Later, Mr. Shnaider emerged as Donald Trump’s business partner at the Trump International Hotel and Tower in Toronto. Mr. Shnaider, who is now divorced from Mr. Birshtein’s daughter, says his former father-in-law played no role in his success.
Midland Resources: A company co-owned by Mr. Shnaider, and that often seemed to co-operate with the Russian state. A series of transactions saw Midland acquire a steel mill in eastern Ukraine for a reported US$70-million in 2000, then sell it a decade later for US$850-million to a group of shell companies controlled by Russia’s state-owned VEB bank (which was then chaired by Mr. Putin). Mr. Shnaider’s lawyer said some of the money from the mill sale helped finance the construction of Trump Toronto, though he later tried to retract the remark.
The Central Asians: Mr. Shnaider isn’t the only ex-Seabeco employee who wound up as a business partner of Donald Trump. Two of Kazakhstan’s most powerful businessmen, Patokh Chodiev and Alexander Mashkevich, met while working for Seabeco’s Belgium office. Mr. Chodiev and Mr. Mashkevich are connected to Mr. Trump by way of their investment in the Bayrock Group, which led the construction of Trump SoHo in New York and fronted the unsuccessful push for a Trump tower in Moscow.
Semion Mogilevich: Seen as the most powerful figure in Russian organized crime. A leaked FBI report suggests that Mr. Mogilevich attended a summit of Russian mafia bosses hosted in an office Mr. Birshtein kept in Tel Aviv, and at which Mr. Birshtein was present.
Sergei Mikhailov: The head of the notorious Solntsevskaya mafia, Mr. Mikhailov also attended the Tel Aviv summit. Mr. Birshtein’s son, Alon, says he met Mr. Mikhailov at his family home while the Birshteins were living in Switzerland.
Dmitry Yakubovski: An alleged KGB officer who worked for Seabeco in Canada, Mr. Yakubovski fell on the opposite side of Mr. Birshtein in the 1993 effort to oust Boris Yeltsin from power. Amid the fighting in Moscow, three shots were fired into Mr. Yakubovski’s house on Toronto’s Bridle Path. Mr. Yakubovski, now a lawyer in Moscow, left the country soon afterward.

Understanding the Impact and Importance of a Notarized Affidavit!
A notarized affidavit is a legal document that serves as an oath or declaration by a person, called an oath-taker, who attests to the truth of certain facts or statements. When an affidavit is notarized, it means the notary has verified the identity of the person taking the oath and witnessed their signature on the document. This process adds a layer of credibility and authenticity to the declaration.
Let's view the impact and importance of a notarized affidavit:
1. Legal status and admissibility: A notarized affidavit has significant legal value and is often admissible as evidence in court. It is considered a reliable and trustworthy source of information because it involves an oath given under penalty of perjury.
2. Identity verification: When a public notary notarizes an affidavit, he or she will confirm the declarant's identity by verifying government-issued identification or other supporting documents. This verification process helps prevent fraud and ensures that reporters are who they say they are.
3. Deterrent against False Statements: The act of swearing to the truth of the statement under penalty of perjury serves as a deterrent against making false or misleading claims in the affidavit. The affiant can be held legally accountable for providing false information.
4. Use in legal proceedings: Notarized affidavits are often used in various legal procedures, such as court cases, divorce proceedings, estate planning, real estate transactions etc. They can be used to establish facts, prove eligibility and support claims.
5. Supporting Documentation: Affidavits can be used to provide supporting documentation for various purposes. For example, an affidavit of residence may be required to establish residency for school enrolment or voting registration. An affidavit of financial support may be need for immigration purposes.
6. Affidavit in business transactions: In business, a notarized affidavit can be use for many different purposes, including verifying financial statements, confirming the authenticity of contracts agree and confirm the accuracy of business information. They can also be used to resolve disputes or clarify agreements.
7. Real Estate Transactions: Real estate transactions often involve notarized declarations, such as an affidavit of title or declaration of title. These documents help verify asset ownership and the accuracy of information provided during the transaction process.
8. Estate planning: Affidavits are used in estate planning to declare the intentions of the testator (testator) and can be notarized to ensure authenticity. Authentication and compliance with legal requirements.
9. Immigration and visa application: During the immigration and visa process, individuals may be required to submit notarized affidavits to demonstrate various aspects of eligibility or relationship. Their relationship to the applicant.
10. Personal and financial matters: Individuals can use a notarized affidavit for personal matters, such as explaining gaps in their employment history, confirming a change of change their name or verify their marital status.
In summary, notarized affidavits play an important role in establishing the originality and validity of statements made in various lawful, private and business contexts. They serve as an oath under punishment of perjury and the intervention of a notary ensures the accuracy and integrity of the document.

Every new tractor now contains built-in sensors that collect data and stream them to cloud-based infrastructures. The agribusinesses that use these data, like seed and chemical companies, are a form of “big tech” commerce operating alongside firms like Google and Facebook.
The Immaculate Conception of Data peeks behind the secretive legal agreements surrounding agricultural big data to trace how it is used and with what consequences. Agribusinesses are among the oldest oligopoly corporations in the world, and their concentration gives them an advantage over other food system actors.

The morning Greg Ritchie died, he was on his way to the grocery store to purchase cake mix to cheer up his brother and sister-in-law, his to bake together. The three, who lived together, had been having financial struggles lately. But her brother-in-law was excited because he had just received funding from the Ontario Disability Support Program.
Before heading to the store that January day, Greg had taken out some of that money to help his brother, Nick. He’d got a parking ticket when the two went to Ottawa’s Wabano Centre together looking to get mental-health support for Greg just didn’t have the money to pay for it,” Chantel said about the parking ticket.
Greg’s gesture that morning touched her and showed how little it takes for someone to make a big difference, even when they are going through their own struggles.
“It was like, ‘We’re supposed to be trying to hear the yelling and gunshots from their apartment, she said. They could see police and paramedics trying to help someone who had been shot.
It was Greg. He was shot and killed in an encounter with two Ottawa police officers on Jan. 31, 2019, at 30 years old lawsuit filed by his relatives has been settled out of court for an undisclosed amount, the law firm representing the family’s case announced late last month.
But even though the legal action has formally ended, Chantel says she doesn’t feel any closure family is still advocating publicly for the police to implement a new mental-health strategy. And they are not alone in their pleas, with the case echoing that of Abdirahman Abdi, who also struggled with his mental health and died in July 2016 after an altercation with Ottawa police.
“If what we have done will help to prevent something like this from happening again, and if I could feel like what happened to Greg will help to stop someone else from losing their lives in the same way, then I can feel some closure,” Chantel said statement of claim that Greg’s family filed in court says he was at the Elmvale Shopping Centre on the morning of his death getting groceries and picking up his prescription.
Just before 8 a.m., Ottawa police officers Thanh Tran and Daniel Vincelette were deployed to the mall after receiving a call about a man who allegedly had a “knife concealed under his coat,” according to a report from the Special Investigations Unit independent civilian agency investigates incidents in Ontario involving police that result in death, serious injury, allegations of sexual assault or a firearm being discharged at someone.
One of the officers approached Greg in an attempt to engage in conversation with the SIU, became frustrated, threatened the officer with an object in his hand and waved it in their direction. The entity was a ceremonial item consisting of a rock attached to a foot-long stick, the report says — a cultural artifact of Ritchie’s Indigenous heritage that lasted for only a moment before Greg “raised the object above his head and swung it at the officer.”
Tran and Vincelette then shot at Greg 11 times, the report says. Three of the bullets hit him. They handcuffed him and administered emergency first aid while awaiting an ambulance. Greg later died in the hospital.
Joseph Martino, the director of the SIU, concluded in his February 2020 report there were no reasonable grounds to charge the officers describing her brother-in-law as someone who loved his Indigenous community, finding time to volunteer and trade his art at powwows. He was happy, she said, and “knew he was loved before he died.”
Although he was kind and gentle in many ways, his disabilities sometimes made him difficult to approach, and it took time for people to understand him away come and bring them little trinkets and things that he made.”
The family of Abdirahman Abdi launched a similar lawsuit against the Ottawa Police Service. The suit was settled five years after his death part of the settlement, the Ottawa Police Service initiated a mental-health response strategy under former chief Peter Sloly, a lawyer who represented the families of both Ritchie and Abdi in their respective suits, says there has been little progress.
“It’s been more than seven years since Abdi died, and there’s still no change,” he said else with mental-health issues dies at the hands of the police.”
In January 2021, the Ottawa Police Service provided a report to the city’s police services board that outlined its consultation approach for a mental-health response strategy.
The police service said that it would train more officers to be able to handle mental-health calls. It said the training would be designed and administered based on input from the community deputy police chief Trish Ferguson says the City of Ottawa is now in charge of implementing the strategy and working in partnership with the police.
She said members of the city council met this week to discuss the implementation strategy from the families and have consulted with community groups to be done the right way.
“Every day is too long if somebody passes away in the community from a mental illness where they could have been served,” said Ferguson. “But I want to make sure we get it right.”
Part of the police’s plan includes helping to implement the 988 suicide crisis line that is expected to begin operating this fall city spokesperson didn’t provide any significant updates but said staff are working toward reporting on a final version of the area trying to revamp the city’s 911 call centre so that calls related to mental health will be rerouted to people who are specifically trained to handle them.
