Federal inmate dies by suicide after 118 days in solitary confinement

Guy Langlois, 38, had a history of suicide attempts and had been in solitary for 4 months

The day before Guy Langlois took his own life, he picked up the phone.

“Strangely, he got in touch with a lot of people to tell them he loved them and to never forget he loved them,” his sister Nathalie Langlois recounts.

The next afternoon, the 38-year-old Métis inmate — who had a long history of mental health issues and suicide attempts — hanged himself in his cell, putting an end to a 118-day stretch in solitary confinement.

Langlois had been held in what the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC) calls “administrative segregation” since he arrived at the Atlantic Institution in Renous, N.B., at the end of December 2016.

So it's been one week. One week in which everything I believed to be true everything I thought my future held came crashing down on me. One year of believing that the day would come and the first day of my next chapter in life would begin. It's hard especially hard because I feel as if I lost a best friend as well. We helped eachother daily, we talked at least an hour a day for a year, and then he came home and not even 36 hours later decides to go back to his old ways, his old life a life that only ends three ways. He says I can't do this with u....he didn't even try. Yes the "right" way is tough, it's hard but it's rewarding and it's worth it. Anything that does come easy does not last you would think after 34 years of life he would take that into consideration. I don't know how to feel I don't know how to express myself. I've been through heartbreak when my kids dad decided the drug life was the life he wanted and I knew I would never react like that again. And I won't and I didn't. I can honestly say I feel I loved this man more then I ever loved before. But how could I when it was all talk, when it came time to show the action he bailed. I'll give him credit at least as soon as he got back to my city he ended it so I was not walking around being played. I never looked at this man who I've known for 13 years as anything but strength now I see him in a different light he's weak to decide to go back to something that got him where he was. He's weak for talking on the phone with my kids at his own request then just giving up that fast, my kids love him my kids were looking for a future with a man in their life. A father figure. That is what makes me angry. Ladies we all have our own story always thinking oh it won't happen to me or my situation is different, I knew him 13 years, this did not make a difference, i broke my own rules for him because i kbew him forever. He played on my love for him and made it into a perfect dream. He came home I was so excited. I woke up thought I was dreaming. No it was real. Then the next day it was all a nightmare. But I will survive! Everything we planned together will happen except I will do it on my own. I always said I want to be a team with you I want your love and the rest we will work together to get. Back to plan A (always) my boys and I will always strive. This has changed me. Love. Men. All of it I'm over it. It took for this situation for me to decide they are all the same. I've been let down a lot in life but this is the kicker new me! I don't want a husband or be. What me and my boys have going on is amazing I'm not jeopardizing it for anyone ever ever again. Today is one week of no contact with him yesterday was emotional and hard but it's a process and I know I'll get through it. So if it's as simple as a habit which apparently breaks in 21 days, I only have 13 days to go and I'll be good? Hmm hope that logic is right. I hold it together for my two beautiful boys(7 and 9) they don't need to see a sad mom, and they don't need to think all guys are going to let them down. So I'll tell them after the 13 days so I'm emotionally able to. This has me so messed up I deleted my social media (totally out of my characteristic) so I'm going to start blogging for me. Meh. I leave tomorrow to go to Las Vegas with his mom and three of his sisters for a trip that was prebooked when I believed he was my forever. Hoping I can emotionally hold it together. They are all amazing women so I know they will be good with me I just don't want to be sad while I'm there. I am excited for the sun it's to damn cold in Canada. Rose coloured glasses are off now.

Mom Of The Year: Mother Teaches Her Son How To Roast Kids Before His First Day Of School!

(That’s me like shit if i was a parent)

[allthecanadianpolitics]

For immediate release: August 12, 2016 The Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations (FSIN) Executive extends their deepest condolences to the family of Colten Boushie and the community of the Red Pheasant First Nation. “We are saddened by the tragic death of Colten Boushie and offer our deepest condolences to his family and friends. This young man’s death is a tragedy,” said FSIN Chief Bobby Cameron. “We are extremely disappointed in the way the RCMP have presented the shooting incident near Biggar, Saskatchewan, on August 9, 2016. The news release the RCMP issued the following day provided just enough prejudicial information for the average reader to draw their own conclusions that the shooting was somehow justified. The messaging in an RCMP news release should not fuel racial tensions.” “The family of Colten Boushie is devastated by the loss of their son,” said Chief Clint Wuttunee of the Red Pheasant First Nation. “The media’s initial portrayal of the event made the incident sound like a crime was about to be committed by the passengers in the car. The media based their reports on the RCMP’s news release.” “The people of this province and this country deserve an immediate strategy to be put in place by all levels of leaders in order to feel safe, including the assurance that this tragedy will be investigated for what it is, a crime based on race,” said FSIN Vice Chief Kimberly Jonathan. “Colten Boushie deserves justice and anything less is unacceptable.” “The shooting incident is causing concern amongst First Nations youth,” said FSIN Youth representative Andre Bear. “There is growing concern that First Nation youth will travel in fear and be targeted because of the colour of their skin. Our young people should not have to live in a state of fear because of hate.” The FSIN is calling for a review of the RCMP’s communication policies and writing guidelines in respect to the August 10, 2016 media release about the shooting incident near Biggar, Saskatchewan. The RCMP news release was biased and not in line with the relationship the FSIN and the RCMP have been building with measures such as the RCMP FSIN Partnership Protocol. The FSIN looks to the RCMP to ensure that their conduct respects that relationship. The FSIN represents 74 First Nations in Saskatchewan. The Federation is committed to honouring the spirit and intent of the Treaties, as well as the promotion, protection and implementation of the Treaty promises that were made more than a century ago.
