( Adrian Wyld / THE CANADIAN PRESS ) OTTAWA – Prime Minister Justin Trudeau 's special adviser on LGBTQ issues says it will take time before the government will be able to follow through on its promise to end the ban that prohibits men who have sex with men from donating blood . On a day when Trudeau stood in the House of Commons to deliver a historic and emotional apology to LGBTQ Canadians who were discriminated against and persecuted by the federal government , Randy Boissonnault recognized there is still work to be done . `` This is going to take time , this is research that has to be done , '' Boissonnault said Tuesday evening . `` Am I happy where we are ? No . Do we have more work to do ? Yes . And that ’ s why our government stepped up to make sure the funding is there so that we can follow the science and get this work done , '' he said . In 2016 the government earmarked $ 3 million 2016 for research on behavior-based donation policies . Also in that year , Canada lowered the deferral period for donating to one year , down from the previous five-year wait . Earlier in the day when asked about it , Health Minister Ginette Petitpas Taylor said she ’ s working with the Canadian Blood Services and Héma-Québec on researching what it ’ ll take “ to ensure that that can eventually get done. ” The Liberals pledged in their campaign platform to “ bring an end to the discriminatory ban , ” saying that the policy `` ignores scientific evidence and must end . '' NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said it ’ s `` unacceptable '' that the ban remains in place , with no repeal date in sight . He called the ban a “ massive gap ” left unfilled by the government ’ s actions Tuesday . He said it `` perpetuates stereotypes and myths , and continues and fuels homophobia and transphobia , '' and disputed the government ’ s assertion that it requires more scientific research . `` There is absolutely no justification for it . If you look at the science it ’ s completely based on a double standard , an unjust , unscientific correlation between heterosexual couples and those of other forms of love… It ’ s 2017 . '' During the New Democrat leadership race Singh campaigned on immediately repealing the ban on blood , tissue , and organ donation for men who have sex with men and trans women who have sex with men , if he becomes prime minister . He said he would replace it with a policy based on individual risk assessments . Kyle Kirkup , an assistant professor at the University of Ottawa Faculty of Law said the blood ban is an example of the continuing discrimination and stigma in Canadian society . `` We know that the science has changed , and there are many good reasons why men who have sex with men , trans people should be allowed to donate blood , '' Kirkup told CTV News . Relatedly , Boissonnault said that the House Justice and Human Rights Committee will be studying the over-criminalization of non-disclosure HIV status in 2018 . The committee passed a motion to this effect on Nov. 1 .

Andrew Coyne : Life of a Canadian now depends on creative diplomacy , finding China a way out It has been a debacle for China , one that has turned opinion in Canada solidly against it , and attracted the public condemnation of other countries Not content with taking Canadians hostage , China is now threatening to kill them . It took nearly four years from his December 2014 arrest for the Chinese legal system to convict and sentence Robert Schellenberg for drug trafficking . Since the Dec. 1 arrest in Canada of Meng Wanzhou , chief financial officer of the Chinese technology giant Huawei , things have moved a little quicker . tap here to see other videos from our team . It took just 20 minutes last month for a Chinese court , in response to Schellenberg ’ s appeal of his 15-year sentence , to instead order , at the insistence of prosecutors , that he be retried . The retrial itself took all of a day Monday , followed within an hour by both verdict and sentence : death . The suspicion that something other than the finer points of Chinese law might be at work in the sudden escalation of a 15-year sentence into the death penalty — that this was in fact the latest step in China ’ s furious efforts to blackmail Canada into releasing Meng — is not restricted to excitable newspaper columnists . It is the opinion of virtually every human rights organization and independent expert on the Chinese legal system . Family calls Canadian 's death sentence in China 'horrific ' as Trudeau accuses Chinese of 'acting arbitrarily' Schellenberg now has 10 days to appeal , but it is apparent his fate will depend not on the mercies of the Chinese courts but on the ingenuity of Canadian diplomacy . China is the world ’ s most prolific practitioner of judicial killing , by far , and one of only a handful that executes people for drug trafficking . More to the point , it is a dictatorship : the Communist party ’ s tentacles reach into every corner of society , including the courts . The idea of judicial independence is as foreign to the regime as due process . Whether or not Schellenberg is guilty of the crime of which he is accused , his death has been foreordained — just as the two other high-profile Canadians China has taken captive since Meng ’ s arrest , former diplomat Michael Kovrig and businessman Michael Spavor , are probably doomed to remain in prison indefinitely , whatever the facts of their cases . One problem facing the Canadian government , as it considers how to respond to this crisis , is puzzling out China ’ s motives . Meng ’ s arrest , at the request of U.S. law enforcement — she is accused of hiding ties to a Huawei subsidiary alleged to have been evading U.S. sanctions on Iran — was doubtless a setback to Chinese espionage and security aims , but nothing like as much as the ferocious Chinese response has been . Until now , Canada has been virtually alone among the countries in the Five Eyes alliance of intelligence agencies in refusing to ban Huawei , widely considered to be an instrument of Chinese surveillance , from supplying equipment for next generation 5G wireless networks . It is almost certain to do so now . China ’ s hopes of signing a free trade deal with Canada , likewise , and by its example gaining similar access to other western economies , must be considered all but dashed , notwithstanding Canada ’ s ambitions to reduce its heavy dependence on trade with the United States . Even if the Trudeau government were disposed to continue with its former policy of cozying up to China — at one point there was even discussion of signing an extradition treaty — it can not afford to be seen to do so now . It has , in short , been a thoroughgoing foreign-policy debacle for China , one that has not only turned opinion in Canada solidly against it , but attracted the public condemnation of other countries ( at Canada ’ s urging ) in the bargain . Supposedly an emerging world leader , China has looked more like a street-corner bully . ( Its ambassador to Canada , in particular , has not done his country ’ s cause any favours , first seeming to threaten Canada in one published piece , in another accusing critics of being motivated by “ white supremacy. ” ) And for what ? The Chinese can not seriously believe the government of Canada could or would order a judge to release Meng , who is currently out on bail ( under house arrest ) while her extradition case is being considered . The minister of justice , it is true , has the power to intervene before an extradition is actually carried out . But again : even if the new minister , David Lametti , were willing to do so in other circumstances , he can not possibly now , in the face of such crude threats . Quite apart from the harm it would do to relations with the U.S. , our neighbour , democratic ally and largest trading partner , it would amount to rewarding China for its lawlessness . Those business voices who , to their shame , were calling for some sort of informal deal to be struck in the immediate aftermath after Meng ’ s arrest must surely fall silent now . Did the Chinese miscalculate ? Did the Trudeau government ’ s former complaisant approach lead them to believe it was a soft touch , whether out of weakness , naivete or desperation for Chinese business ? If so , how does the government communicate a firmer line , without needlessly provoking the Chinese government ? Is it possible to combine a no-concessions policy on Meng with a face-saving way for China to come in off the limb it has put itself out on ? On this now depends not only the integrity of Canadian foreign policy , but the life of a Canadian citizen .

Three wins stare at Florida Atlantic and coach Charlie Partridge . It is a familiar sight for the Owls , who finished 3-9 the first two seasons under Partridge , and a fate they can avoid entering the season 's final two games . A fourth win this year would be a welcome sign for a program that endured a seven-game losing streak earlier this season . It would quell the calls for Partridge 's job even more than recent wins over Rice and UTEP have . It would give the Owls momentum — either real or imagined — heading into the offseason . With a win over Old Dominion on Saturday , the Owls will eclipse the three-win mark and extend their current winning streak to three games . Last week 's game represented the first time under Partridge that FAU won consecutive games in the same season . But the program 's progress wo n't be on the Owls ' minds when it welcomes the Monarchs to FAU Stadium at 6 p.m. '' We 're focusing on the win , of course , but not really in the aspect of comparing it to last year , '' receiver Nate Terry said . A different aura surrounds the Owls ( 3-7 , 2-4 Conference USA ) now . They injected confidence with a 17-point win over Rice , then expanded it by erasing an 11-point fourth-quarter deficit against UTEP . Partridge said he 's noticed a maturation among the players . Players said they 've noticed a greater sense of understanding their objectives . `` To lose seven games and to come back and win two in a row , I do n't think a lot of teams could do that , '' defensive end Trey Hendrickson said . The new attitude was n't present when FAU lost four games by a combined 17 points , nor was it during blowouts to Kansas State and Western Kentucky . But as it 's arrived , so too have wins . `` We 're putting in the work , '' safety Richie Kittles said . `` We understand it . We lost games , but losing those four games really showed us what we can do , what we got to do , how we got to finish . We practice with better habits… We just do everything the way we 're supposed to do it now . '' Old Dominion ( 7-3 , 5-1 ) enters Boca Raton with unfinished business . It will try to avenge last year 's 33-31 loss to FAU that denied it bowl eligibility while also remaining in the hunt for the Conference USA East division title . For the Monarchs , the loss to FAU was so devastating that they changed their locker room security code to `` 3133 , '' according to The Virginian-Pilot , as a reminder of the game . This season , they secured bowl eligibility by winning six of their last seven games . Old Dominion 's only conference loss came in a 35-point setback to Western Kentucky , and the Monarchs are coming off a 16-point victory over Southern Miss in which they forced five turnovers . `` We think about how we beat them last year , but it just comes down to game-planning like it 's any other team , '' linebacker Jacob Douglas said . The two consecutive wins have dangled a carrot in front of the Owls , offering a victory and celebratory locker room as a reward for proper preparation and execution . The feeling has become addicting . `` It felt so good that we got to get another one , '' Douglas said . `` We got that same mentality going into this week . We got to get another win .

OC lawsuit : Excessive force in pregnant woman ’ s arrest A Virginia woman has accused an Ocean City police officer of slamming and pinning her to the ground while she was unarmed and pregnant . The Daily Record of Baltimore reports Dalima Palmer filed the lawsuit Wednesday in Baltimore . The lawsuit accuses Officer Michael Kirkland of using excessive force against Palmer while arresting her after responding to a beach disturbance in July 2013 . Palmer was charged with second-degree assault and resisting arrest , among other charges . She was given probation before judgment on the assault charge . The disturbance occurred during an incident where a group of day-trippers from Northern Virginia , including Palmer , found themselves scolded by a lifeguard for playing soccer on the beach . The lifeguard says the soccer players were hostile , and he called police for backup . Members of the group found themselves in a physical confrontation with the officers who responded , and several were arrested , including Palmer and her fiancé at the time Musa Seisay of Stafford , Virginia . Palmer was nine months pregnant at the time , and ended up being hospitalized for an emergency C-section after her arrest . As for the others involved , Saidu Kargbo was convicted of second-degree assault , and Abdul Kargbo was convicted of disorderly conduct . An internal investigation by the Ocean City Police department concluded in 2014 that no officers demonstrated any improper use of force . However , the complaint states that Kirkland kept Palmer pinned after she said she was pregnant . The lawsuit also says another officer denied Palmer access to medical attention and only took her to a hospital after the Dumfries woman lost consciousness . Ocean City ’ s attorney Guy Ayres says the city hasn ’ t been served with the lawsuit . The Associated Press contributed to this report .

Former Office Manager of Hobbs Business Sentenced to Prison on Federal Tax Charges Sims Ordered to Pay $ 169,951 in Restitution to IRS in Addition to a $ 100,000 Fine ALBUQUERQUE – Connie C. Sims , 44 , of Eunice , N.M. , was sentenced today in federal court in Las Cruces , N.M. , to a year and a day in prison followed by one year of supervised release for violating the federal tax laws , announced U.S. Attorney Damon P. Martinez and Special Agent in Charge Ismael Nevarez Jr. of the Phoenix Field Office of IRS Criminal Investigation . Sims also was ordered to pay $ 169,951.00 in restitution to the IRS in addition to a $ 100,000.00 fine . Sims was charged with four counts of federal tax evasion in an indictment filed in Sept. 2014 . The indictment charged Sims with evading her federal tax obligations during tax years 2009 , 2010 , 2011 and 2012 by failing to report her true income . At the time the offenses were committed , Sims was employed as the office manager of a surveillance equipment company located in Hobbs , N.M. On March 18 , 2015 , Sims pled guilty to all four counts of the indictment and admitted that she knowingly evaded approximately $ 120,366.00 in federal taxes by failing to report an aggregate of $ 482,890.00 in income during tax years 2009 , 2010 , 2011 and 2012 . In her plea agreement , Sims admitted that from 2010 through 2013 , she wrote checks to herself on the company ’ s bank accounts and did not report the money as compensation when she filed her federal tax returns . Sims acknowledged deriving an aggregate amount of $ 482,890.00 by writing checks to herself , which resulted in a loss of $ 120,366.00 to the IRS when she failed to report the income in her federal tax returns . This case was investigated by the Las Cruces office of IRS Criminal Investigation and was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Amanda Gould of the U.S. Attorney ’ s Las Cruces Branch Office .

A familiar name on local Democratic ballots for much of the last decade , former 2nd Ward Chicago alderman Bob Fioretti is running for office again : as a Republican . He joins two other former Democrats and a Democratic staffer running in Cook County in the fall election . Fioretti has run and lost in nearly every campaign cycle since opting not to seek reelection for alderman in 2015 . He ran for mayor instead , eventually endorsing incumbent Mayor Rahm Emanuel . He finished fourth , and last , in the 2020 Democratic primary race for Cook County state ’ s attorney , and placed 12th out of 14 candidates when he ran for mayor again in 2019 , the year voters elected Lori Lightfoot . In 2018 , Fioretti lost the Democratic primary for Cook County Board president to incumbent Toni Preckwinkle . This year , Fioretti is challenging her bid for a fourth term , this time as a Republican . Fioretti — whose campaign against Preckwinkle last time focused on the backlash to her short-lived tax on sweetened drinks — is one of five countywide office seekers who have been backed by the Cook County and Chicago Republican Party to run in vacant ballot positions in November . It might be a tough sell for Republicans : Aside from Cook County being generally inhospitable for conservatives , Fioretti also built his reputation as a strong progressive while serving on the City Council . He ’ s been dogged by other controversies , including legal action from campaign employees and companies alleging they weren ’ t paid for work at Fioretti ’ s campaign and private law practice . Still , Fioretti is among three dozen GOP candidates running in Cook County this year , the highest number “ in more than a generation , ” Cook County GOP Chairman Sean Morrison said in a news release . “ Cook County voters are demanding a choice at the ballot box . They will now have a clear choice in November. ” Morrison is one of only two Republicans on the Cook County Board and faces Democrat Daniel Calandriello in the Nov. 8 election . The other GOP commissioner , Pete Silvestri , is not seeking reelection . Matt Podgorski won the Republican primary in June to replace Silvestri ; his opponent is Democrat Maggie Trevor . Sign up for The Spin to get the top stories in politics delivered to your inbox weekday afternoons . Joining Fioretti on the Republican slate is a veteran of county politics , attorney Tony Peraica — a fellow party-switcher . He filed Monday to run for Cook County clerk and against incumbent Karen Yarbrough . Peraica ran as a Democrat in 1994 , then as a Republican in 1998 to wage an unsuccessful bid for county treasurer against Maria Pappas . He won his Cook County Board race in 2002 , representing the Southwest suburbs . He ran and lost races for board president in 2006 and state ’ s attorney in 2008 . Peraica lost his seat on the Cook County Board in 2010 to Democrat Jeff Tobolski , then was found guilty of a misdemeanor for destroying some of Tobolski ’ s campaign signs . Peraica has made news more recently for representing a failed challenger in a lawsuit against then-House Speaker Mike Madigan for allegedly putting sham candidates on the ballot , and another against Madigan and Ald . Marty Quinn , unsuccessfully alleging the two conspired to sabotage a young aldermanic challenger . Also on the November ballot for the GOP : Todd Thielmann , who until recently served as chief of staff to Democratic Cook County Board of Review Commissioner Tammy Wendt . Thielmann , Wendt ’ s cousin , was eventually fired after the county ’ s ethics body sued Wendt for “ flagrantly ” violating a ban on nepotism . Thielmann is running for assessor , hoping to take on incumbent Fritz Kaegi . Wendt herself lost her reelection bid in the Democratic primary to Chicago Ald . George Cardenas . He will face Republican Robert Cruz in the fall . Another member of the GOP slate is lawyer and former Chicago police detective Lupe Aguirre , who ran for the Cook County Board in 2018 as a Democrat in the 2nd District . He ’ s seeking to take on Sheriff Tom Dart . Businessman Peter Kopsaftis is the Republican candidate for treasurer against Pappas . “ Cook County Democrats ’ failing record on inflation , taxes , crime and corruption will be put on full display for voters . That is why Democrats will work as hard as possible to challenge and remove these Republican candidates from the November ballot , ” Morrison said in the same release . “ They do not want to discuss , debate or defend their horrendous record on all of those important kitchen table issues impacting families across Cook County. ” Anyone seeking to challenge those candidates ’ petitions can do so for the next week . In a statement , Cook County Democratic Party executive director Jacob Kaplan says it “ does not launch or fund ballot challenges . ”

`` I dismiss it all as hype , '' Olisa told Business Insider at the launch of VTC Group in London this week . VTC Group is a new startup chaired by Olisa that aims to bridge the gap between startups , academics , and big corporates . `` I 'm so old I know that the only value is cash , '' Olisa says . `` If a unicorn can demonstrate that in 3 to 5 years time it can generate enough cash to defend a $ 1 billion+ valuation , then bring it on . But that 's the question , not these backroom deals that give a headline value of $ 1 billion but actually give investors a get out of jail free card . '' 2015 was the year of the unicorn , with a boom in startups hitting the valuation . Notable unicorns that joined the club last year include TransferWise , Lyft , Zenefits , SoFi , Hellofresh , Prosper , Oscar , and Farfetch , according to venture capital data tracker CB Insights . There were many more . Hitting the unicorn mark became a badge of honour in the industry , with businesses clamouring to declare themselves the next unicorn , but Olisa says focusing on unicorn status has come at the expense of actually building strong businesses . `` We 've suddenly decided that it 's not about business and innovation and market and customers , it 's about something else . It 's lipstick on the pig . There 's a unicorn industry and they can play around with each other but all it will do is end in tears , because it 's not about the customer and it 's not about adding value to anything . '' Olisa has seen the tech industry evolve over almost 40 years , starting at IBM back in the 1970s . He told the crowd at the VTC Group launch : `` When I was first in [ the tech industry ] you had to explain to people what computers were and what they did . `` I remember once being asked the difference between hardware and software , and I realised in a moment of panic I had no idea . I worked for IBM and we just sold them stuff and they were grateful or they lost their job . It was a very different time . '' After leaving IBM , Olisa held various positions in the industry before going on to found technology merchant bank Interregnum in 1992 and leading it through the tech boom to float on London 's AIM market in 2000 — just as the dotcom bubble was popping . Olisa set up another technology merchant bank in 2006 , Restoration Partners , which he currently chairs . Olisa continued : `` The collapse of Powa , tragic though it is , making things seem like they 're worth $ 1 billion — that 's financial engineering . Two floors in the Heron Tower says it all . '' London-headquartered payments business Powa Technologies was reportedly once valued at $ 2.7 billion but collapsed into administration last month after running out of cash . The Financial Times has since thrown doubt over whether the company was ever really worth that much .

WASHINGTON — Amid scrutiny stemming from fresh revelations of rampant discrimination , bullying , retaliation and sexual misconduct at the U.S. Forest Service , the agency ’ s new chief pledged Thursday that she will “ do everything in my power to put us on a path to no harassment. ” Vicki Christiansen acknowledged to a congressional panel that the Forest Service is in need of a culture change . She pledged to enact new systems and overhaul existing processes to ensure a safe and functional work environment . `` I know our actions past and present are not enough , we must do more , '' said Christiansen , who was named interim chief in March and took over the position permanently just a month ago . She was appearing before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee . The Forest Service is part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture . The agency 's struggles date to at least the 1970s , when a class-action lawsuit was filed alleging discrimination against women in hiring and promotions . In December 2016 , the oversight panel held a hearing to address reports of systemic discrimination , bullying and harassment within the Forest Service . The matter has gained renewed attention as female Forest Service employees recently stepped forward with tales of harassment , retaliation and even rape . In March , the USDA Office of Inspector General released a report that showed widespread mistrust in the complaint reporting process , prompting the agency to change the way it handles sexual harassment and misconduct allegations . Earlier this month , Oversight Chairman Rep. Trey Gowdy , R-S.C. , sent a letter to Christiansen and Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue requesting information and documents related to recent misconduct claims . `` Despite taking some steps to address the problem , `` alarming reports of misconduct and retaliation at the USFS persist , '' Gowdy wrote . Prior to becoming Forest Service chief , Christiansen spent more than three decades as a forester and wildland firefighter . `` I know what it means to encounter harassment and discrimination in my workplace , '' she said . `` I know the deep anguish it causes . I know how it feels to fear retaliation . '' Those experiences , she said , `` fuel my commitment to the Forest Service . '' Christiansen on Thursday discussed progress made , and laid out her plans to further reform the agency . She said the agency has updated its anti-harassment policy and hired outside contractors to investigate allegations of sexual harassment . Additionally , Christiansen said the agency has created a Work Environment and Performance Office and plans to establish a victim advocacy and support structure . It also launched a call center to handle harassment and abuse allegations , formed a new employee advisory group , hired case managers and is requiring all 25,000 permanent Forest Service employees to attend `` listen-and-learn sessions '' to discuss workplace conduct . Shannon Reed , who said she was harassed and assaulted , then fired after she reported the abuse , shared her story at Thursday 's hearing . She said Christiansen 's plan to reform the agency does n't go nearly far enough . `` Chief Christiansen 's action plan is merely a check-the-box process to make the agency appear as if it is addressing sexual harassment , gender harassment , bullying and retaliation , '' Reed said . She told the panel that she was forced to attend a listening session with her harassers . `` The agency is telling us to stand up and report harassment , but when we do , we are retaliated against . Chief Christiansen has not made it a safe environment for us to report harassment , '' she said . Gowdy asked USDA Inspector General Phyllis K. Fong , who also testified at the hearing , why victims and abusers would ever be in the same session . `` How in the hell can you have the perpetrator in the room with the victim ? '' Gowdy said . `` I ca n't think of anything that has a more chilling effect on someone being able to tell their story . '' `` I understand your concern , '' Fong said . `` We want to send a very clear message in our office that if people have concerns or issues they would like to bring forward , we have multiple ways and avenues where we can help people . '' Christiansen admitted there is still `` big work to do . '' `` I 'd like to say I could change it in six months . But to be absolutely honest , I do n't think you change the culture of an organization that 's existed for 113 years and has 40,000 people overnight , '' she said . Prior to working for the Forest Service , Reed worked for the National Park Service , where she said she also experienced bullying , harassment and assault . `` Little did I know that transferring from the Park Service to the Forest Service was jumping from the frying pan to the fire , '' she said . At the same time in a separate hearing room on Capitol Hill , President Donald Trump 's nominee to lead the park service — also under fire for its handling of sexual harassment and assault claims — faced demands from senators to confront what park employees have told lawmakers is rampant abuse at national parks . `` This is really a dark cloud over our National Park Service , '' Sen. Lisa Murkowski , an Alaska Republican and chairwoman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee , told David Vela at a committee hearing on his nomination to lead the agency . Murkowski cited a `` long-term pattern of sexual harassment and hostile work environment '' at the park service . Vela , currently park chief at Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming , said he would hold `` people and processes accountable '' in dealing with widespread allegations of male colleagues and bosses preying upon and bullying female co-workers , including complaints at iconic national parks such as Grand Canyon and Yosemite . `` The scourge of sexual and workplace harassment ... at the National Park Service must stop , '' Vela told lawmakers . A Park Service preliminary report in 2016 concluded `` the environment is indeed toxic , hostile , repressive and harassing . '' ___ Ellen Knickmeyer contributed from Washington .

Toronto-area developer announces plans for Sarnia 's SCITS building A Toronto-area developer says he is in the process of buying the former SCITS high school in Sarnia and plans to seek approval to use the building for a mix of commercial , daycare and residential uses . A Toronto-area developer in the process of buying the former Sarnia Collegiate Institute and Technical school ( SCITS ) property in Sarnia says he plans to use the historic building for a mix of commercial , daycare and residential uses . Rakesh Kumar Gupta said Friday in a news release his purchase of the Wellington Street site is scheduled to close Sept. 30 . “ We are extremely excited to have been selected as the successful purchaser of this magnificent property , ” Gupta said . “ We are currently in discussions with our design team to review the building in greater detail and to make recommendations on the internal renovations and modernization of the building interiors and its various additions over time. ” Gupta said he has assembled a team of planning and design experts experienced with similar projects that includes Monteith Brown Planning Consultants , Nicholson Sheffield Architects and Bayview Design Group . “ We look forward to work with the community to make this happen as a collaborative effort , ” he said . London-based Nicholson Sheffield Architects has been involved in projects there that include the London Round House , development of the central branch of the London Public Library in a former Hudson Bay store and the Centre at the Forks project of Museum London . “ If you look at the team he ’ s assembled , they are quite well known , ” said Sarnia Mayor Mike Bradley . “ They ’ re all professionals and have a lot of experience . That was good to see that he ’ s got that calibre of a group behind him. ” A project of this type comes with “ a lot of hurdles , ” including municipal planning changes to allow new zoning and uses for the site , Bradley said . “ Because it was institutional , almost everything has to be changed if you want to do anything there , ” he said . The original building opened in 1922 and was a state-of-the-art high school in its day . It remained a public high school until recently , when the Lambton Kent District school board merged SCITS and St. Clair secondary school on Murphy Road as Great Lakes secondary school , and put the Wellington Street property up for sale . “ It ’ s the anchor of Mitton Village , ” Bradley said . “ They ’ re going to do their best to keep the essence of the building. ” He added residential use appears to be the focus of the development and could “ have a significant impact on our shortage of housing in the community. ” While redevelopment of the existing building is being considered , Gupta said his company will also explore developing the remainder of the site and will share its plans with the community . “ We would like to assure the public that we recognize how important the SCITS building has been to the fabric of your community and we want to make sure that it continues to make positive contributions in a meaningful way over the long term , ” he said . Chrissy McRoberts , a business owner and community activist in Mitton Village , said , “ I hope Mr. Gupta is sincere with the intentions he ’ s got for the SCITS building by continuing to make that positive contribution to our community. ” McRoberts added she ’ s hopeful the project can create “ affordable living spaces in the building ” to help with “ the current housing crisis ” in the city “ We have everyday people that are trying to work jobs and have kids , and they have nowhere to live , ” she said . McRoberts said groups in the community “ have been waiting and waiting and waiting ” to learn what will become of the former school site . A few small businesses in the neighbourhood went under after the school closed and business from students dried up , but “ Mitton Village is turning ” and is now an “ up and coming ” area of the city , McRoberts said . Adding new housing and perhaps allowing some community use , including the former school ’ s large auditorium , “ that would be a tremendous impact .… and hopefully drive more businesses to want to be a part of Mitton Village , ” she said .

It has been a week marred by tragedy as law enforcement officials in Wisconsin and Ohio were shot and killed while doing their jobs . In Milwaukee , an officer was shot this morning while serving a search warrant . The identity of the officer has not been released . TMJ4 in Milwaukee reports the victim is a tactical unit officer in his 30s . He was a member of the MPD for 17 years , officials said in a news conference this afternoon . Fellow police officers were seen gathered in a circle at the site of the crime ; most had their heads down and were grief-stricken . The suspect in the shooting is in custody . In Batavia , Ohio , near Cincinnati , a Sheriff 's deputy identified as Bill Brewer was shot and killed Sunday after a standoff when he attempted to aid a person inside an apartment who tried to kill himself . The person ambushed Brewer and a second deputy , who was wounded and survived . Brewer , a married father of a 5-year-old son , has been in law enforcement since 1998 . His funeral is this Friday . Last week , five Houston police officers were injured while investigating a suspected drug case . Four of the five were shot , and a fifth suffered a knee injury . Two suspects in the case were killed at the home where the investigation took place , police said . Also last week , police in Chicago sought two men who threatened to shoot and kill police officers in multiple videos posted to social media . In one of the videos a man records a marked police SUV and says , `` I 'm gon na kill him . '' Just yesterday , a Salina County , Kansas Sheriff 's Office deputy was injured in a shootout with a suspect in a carjacking . The suspect fired multiple rounds at law enforcement officers during a pursuit . Debris from a round fired at the deputy 's vehicle hit him in the face , and he was taken into surgery . The suspect was taken into custody .

A Minnesota man was livestreaming on Facebook when he was shot by police shortly after getting out of his vehicle after a chase . Around 10:22 p.m. on Saturday , police in Edina , Minnesota , began pursuing Brian Quinones after a man `` confronted officers with a knife , '' according to the Hennepin County Sheriff ’ s Office . Quinones , 30 , allegedly ran a red light and then refused to pull over , according to the Minneapolis Star-Tribune . The Sheriff 's Office has not publicly identified Quinones as the deceased . But family members publicly confirmed his death and the Hennepin County Medical Examiner later identified the man as Quinones , according to ABC affiliate KTSP . “ He didn ’ t deserve it ; he didn ’ t deserve to leave the world like this , ” Joshua Quinones , Brian ’ s brother , said in an interview with KSTP . `` He was a musician , he was a barber , he was just such a humble person . '' In the Facebook Live video , Quinones can be seen getting out of the vehicle with what appeared to be a knife . Officers are then heard shouting commands at Brian . Twenty seconds after Quinones gets out of the car , multiple gunshots are fired . The chase ended in the nearby town of Richfield . Joshua Quinones said he spoke with his brother earlier in the day and knew something was up . “ He was just tired , ” he said . He said local law enforcement failed his brother . “ I 'm just speechless of what happened . I just think they could 've done better , ” Joshua Quinones said . “ At least Tased with a Taser gun or something . Really ? Shoot him between four police officers . That 's just too much. ” `` The Hennepin County Sheriff ’ s Office continues to investigate a Sept. 7 officer-involved shooting , the City of Edina grieves alongside the family of the deceased , the officers involved and their families , and the Richfield and Edina communities , ” according to a joint statement from the Richfield and Edina police departments . The shooting is an active investigation , officials said .

Canadian soldier in England pleads guilty to making and possessing child pornography Jason Moore , 42 , was a member of the military police working in the Canadian High Commission in London until his arrest in April 2015 , when he was put on 'off-site administrative duties' A Canadian soldier stationed in London pleaded guilty to making and possessing child pornography in a court appearance Friday . Jason Moore was a member of the military police working in the Canadian High Commission in England until his arrest in April 2015 , when he was put on ‘ off-site administrative duties ’ in Ruislip , near London , according to the department of national defence . In a statement , the department of national defence says it was “ aware ” of the charges , but wouldn ’ t specify what they were . The allegations against ( Moore ) go against the ethics and values of the Department of National Defence and the Canadian Armed Forces.The allegations against ( Moore ) go against the ethics and values of the Department of National Defence and the Canadian Armed Forces . In all , Moore entered guilty pleas to all six charges he faced . He was released on bail until his sentencing hearing next month . It is unclear whether that means he will continue his work with the military , but up until his Friday hearing , the department of national defence says “ he continued to be an active member of the Canadian Armed Forces performing general duties ; not as a Military Police officer. ” Moore ’ s lawyer told the court that the veteran of the Afghan war — he was deployed from October 2009 until May 2010 — “ is a 42-year-old man of previous good character , working in London for the Canadian Armed Forces and security services. ” In a statement , the department of national defence said “ the allegations against ( Moore ) go against the ethics and values of the Department of National Defence and the Canadian Armed Forces. ” The statement offers few details and would not confirm the exact nature of the charges , noting “ as this matter is now before the courts , it would be inappropriate to comment further. ” Neither the department nor International Affairs would comment on Moore ’ s future in the Canadian Armed Forces .
