Metro | Calgary Several groups in Inglewood have raised concerns about building a new four-lane bridge into the community and it appears the city is prepared to hear them out.

The city was planning to hold online and in-person engagements this month about its plans for a new 9 Avenue Southeast bridge — often known as the Fort Calgary Bridge.

However those plans are on hold after concerns were raised by the Inglewood Community Association (ICA) and the Inglewood BRZ about putting a fourth lane on the new bridge, to match the

four lanes of road on both sides of the bridge.

“Congestion isn’t going to be solved by more lanes,” said Sara Poldaas, president of the ICA. “There’s lots of research that shows that you don’t build more roads to ease congestion.”

She noted that at peak hours, the four lanes on 9 Avenue are more like three anyway, since one is a bus-only lane. At other times, one lane is used for parking.

Rebecca O’Brien, executive director of the Inglewood BRZ, said local businesses benefit from the traffic calming effects of having a three-lane bridge.

A spokeswoman for the city confirmed the city has pressed pause on plans for information sessions in favour of more consultation with local groups.

“We haven’t made any decisions at this point. We want to go out and talk to the community more about this,” she said.

Student pranks school with for-sale ad on Kijiji online marketplace

Mastermind’s joke nets bid of $2 and a bag of Cheetos Jeremy Simes

For Metro | Calgary A bag of Cheetos and $2 seemed to be the highest bid to acquire Jack James High School, according to student prankster Alex Bull.

As part of embracing an annual tradition, some Calgary high school Grade 12 graduates are taking their pranks online, listing high schools as “for sale” on Kijiji.

The online pranks are just as hilarious as the real-life kind and are basically harmless, according to Bull, 18, who posted the Jack James ad on Kijiji Friday night.

He said he was inspired by a similar prank done at St. Mary’s High School last year.

“When I saw that one, I could not stop laughing,” he said. “It just seems a lot funnier than putting a billion balloons in the ceiling and having them released.

“I find the (online ones) more funny because there’s no harm, no foul,” he added. “Nobody gets hurt and everyone has a quick giggle, and it’s done.”

Bull said he was never really

known as Jack James’ class clown.

But once students found out it was him, he said they were quite impressed.

“People were like, ‘Oh my God, this is crazy. People are selling our school,’” he said. “To have the joke continue on the next day makes it even more worthwhile.”

The Kijiji advertisement —

I find the online ones more funny because there’s no harm, no foul.

Nobody gets hurt. Alex Bull which has since been removed — stated the school doesn’t allow drugs and that servants were included.

Forest Lawn High School and

Dr. E.P. Scarlett High School were also up for grabs on Kijiji. E.P. Scarlett, in particular, told potential buyers to “beware the pitt” and that “administration

has been unable to keep up with its maintenance, and can simply no longer afford the upgrades.”

Although the Calgary Board of Education couldn’t make Jack James administration available, Bull said his teachers have had a hoot with the advertisements.

“Everybody finds them hilarious,” he said. “They played along with it.”

Search on human remains Lucie Edwardson

Metro | Calgary The Calgary Police Service is sifting through city landfills to find the rest of a young women’s remains after finding parts of her body disposed of in Crescent Heights.

Insp. Don Coleman said CPS has charged a man in connection with dismembering and trying to dispose of a body.

At approximately 8 a.m., June 8, police were called to a lightly forested area on the west side of the intersection of Centre Street North and Samis Road NE, after someone reported finding a body.

Coleman said the death is considered suspicious because the body was concealed and not intact. He said police were unable to identify the deceased woman, even after her autopsy the following day.

“After investigating a tip from the public, police now believe that the woman died at a residence in the 3900 block of 1 Street NW,” he said Joshua Jordan Weise, 40, of Calgary, who lived at the residence is charged with one count offering an indignity to human remains. He appeared in court Monday.

The identity of the victim will not be released.

The investigation is ongoing and anyone with information who has not already spoken to police is asked to call the Calgary Police Service non-emergency line at 403-266-1234.

Lori-Anne Heavenfire ID’d as a person of interest Lucie Edwardson

Metro | Calgary The family of a Tyler Sanderson, who was murdered in May, is asking for anyone with information about the whereabouts of person of interest, Lori-Ann Heavenfire, to come help police.

Officers were called to a disturbance in the 5500 block of Maddock Drive NE around 9:15 p.m. Sunday, and when they arrived on scene they found a man in his 20s who had been beaten.

Police have since deemed the death a homicide.

Dave Sanderson, Tyler’s father, said their family is “falling apart without answers.”

“All we know about that girl is they have done business and partied with her before and she was the last one he talked to before he left the house that night,” he said.

Dave said he believes Heavenfire played a role in his son’s death.

“I believe he was set up by her,” he said.

“She was there and was with at least one other person who drove his truck away when he was dumped behind his house.”

Now, Dave is pleading for anyone with information into Heavenfire’s whereabouts to come forward and help police with their investigation.

Nenshi says it’s ‘very hard’ to spot impacts of cycle track pilot Helen Pike

Metro | Calgary Calgary’s mayor is saying it’s too tough to isolate the impact of the cycle track after the Downtown Association bashed it last week.

In an interview with Metro, Maggie Schofield said the cycle track wasn’t giving businesses the boost they had expected, or been promised by

the City of Calgary.

Administration in charge of the cycle track pilot later told Metro no such promises were made, but the city continues to monitor the track’s effect on business.

Naheed Nenshi said the Downtown Association has long been opposed to the cycle track, and Stephen Avenue, in particular, has “the lowest amount of cycles” out of all the tracks.

But even that can’t convince him to draw conclusions.

“It’s been a tough time for a lot of downtown business,” said Nenshi. “I think it’s very very hard to isolate the impact of the cycle track on that.”

Nenshi said that’s one of the drawbacks of the cycle track pilot — that it’s happening smack-dab in the middle of a downturn.

“We’re measuring it very carefully, and we have not seen any evidence that the cycle track is costing anyone business either.”

Councillor angling for parking changes Helen Pike

Metro | Calgary One of Calgary’s city councillors is angling for a change in the parking bylaw after culde-sac residents called him to complain.

Angled parking is not allowed unless indicated by signage or written permission from the Calgary Parking Authority. But for years, residents in cul-de-sac

style streets have been avoiding the parallel park to save space and cram more cars into the tight space.

Coun. Sean Chu was asking administration about the ins and outs of parking on residential streets on Monday, after he received complaint calls from angry residents who have been slapped with pricey tickets.

“Often people park in angled parking, because the shape of the cul-de-sac doesn’t have enough length to park vehicles

sideways,” said Chu. “All of a sudden people are getting tickets for parking on an angle.”

He said it’s odd for people in Huntington Hills who have been parking a certain way for 20 years to be told it’s wrong.

And that although the law states angled parking isn’t allowed; cul-de-sacs are too cramped for a parallel approach in his opinion.

“I don’t believe it’s something we have any targeted enforcement on,” said transportation

boss Mac Logan. “Generally it’s not enforced.” Logan said the parking default is parallel to the curb. These parking anomalies are only fined on a complaintby-complaint basis.

“Unfortunately it’s a law right now, if people want they can appeal it, however I’m looking into it right now to see if we can possibly change the bylaw,” said Chu. Chu said he wants to engage residents as well as city bylaw and the roads department to see if it is possible.

Family gets ticket after rushing kid to emergency Jeremy Simes

Sue Adam was shocked to see a parking ticket on her windshield right after she frantically rushed her daughter, Doreen, to the emergency room at the Children’s Hospital.

Last week, Adam said Doreen, 12, broke her clavicle while in gym class at school.

But right after the family rushed her to the Children’s hospital — parking at a lot closest to emergency — Adam’s husband discovered he was ticketed right after Doreen was triaged.

At the time, Adam was trying to find a wheelchair for her daughter.

“I was angry,” Adam said.

“I’m not complaining about the fine, but the act was wrong.

If similar things happened to me next time, I wouldn’t have time to pay for parking. I would rush to the emergency.”

Parking tickets and payment methods caused an uproar at Alberta’s hospitals earlier this year, when Alberta Health Services (AHS) indicated it won’t trim rates anytime soon after Ontario announced a new policy that will lower expenses for 900,000 patients and

visitors.

Adam said she’s experienced Ontario’s hospital parking system, where there are 15 minute drop-off zones that don’t charge a penny. At AHS facilities, there are no designated emergency-only lots.

She said she would like to see AHS develop parking lots designated for emergencies. ”I can afford the parking, but to think of a single mother with financial difficulties and with a child bleeding in her hands, and she thinks she needs to pay for parking before taking them to emergency, that could put the child in danger,” Adam said.

In an email, Alberta Health Services spokesman Bruce Conway said the matter involving Adam has been resolved.

He said AHS has an appeal process that recognizes “unforeseen issues” with paying for parking, and is “generally lenient in these situations.”

Compassionate parking passes are also available for those who can’t afford parking, Conway added.

But Adam said compassionate rates only really apply to people who aren’t in emergency situations.

She said she plans on contacting her local MLA to advocate for changing hospital parking policies “It’s just wrong,” she said.

Many AHS hospitals in Calgary charge $2.25 per half hour.

The maximum visitors pay per day is $14.25. Weekly passes are generally $40 in Alberta’s major cities while monthly passes start at $71.

Expose yourself if you can bare it culture

Artist seeking locals to pose in buff for exhibit Aaron Chatha

Metro | Calgary

Blair Gallant hopes to celebrate the diversity of body types. Submitted

Artist Blair Gallant wants Calgarians expose themselves.

Mentally, emotionally and — yes — physically, on camera; he’s aiming to collect 1001 photos of naked Calgarians for an exhibit called Home in Your Own Skin.

“We’re not the clothing that we wear, we’re not the labels we assign ourselves — we’re not the titles we live in our everyday lives,” said Gallant. “By removing clothes, making it not about what you’re wearing, you can’t tell who’s rich anymore.

Who’s well educated and did well in life. It takes away those things.”

He hopes the exhibit will encourage self examination. In fact, every-

one who passes through the exhibit when it premiers with the Calgary Fringe Festival in late July will be asked if they’d like to take part.

There will be a private photo booth in the back for anyone that says yes, but it’s not really about convincing people to say yes. Gallant said it’s about getting people to examine themselves, answer yes or no, and why or why not — to confront what makes them uncomfortable.

“If you have a body that’s in really good shape, you’re young, and all those things, it’s an easier choice to make,” he explained. “If you’re older, bigger or different culturally ... whatever it might be that would hold you back from participating, we’re making sure that becomes part of the exhibit.”

Gallant wants to put an emphasis

on body types that aren’t usually celebrated.

Michael Dean Dargie, owner of a creative agency working with Gallant to market the project, said he was drawn to the project because of its diverse angle.

However, he’s still wrestling with himself as to whether he’ll be baring it all for the camera any time soon.

“I struggle with my physical shape, the fact that I don’t look like a calendar guy anymore. I’m getting older and pudgier in places I didn’t think I’d ever get pudgier,” he said. “I really want to be comfortable in my own skin. I’d like to celebrate that and this is a vehicle to do it — if I have the guts to do it.”

Gallant welcomes anyone interested in the project to contact him at blair@aoshirley.com.

Pucker up: ‘Love is love’ orlando tragedy

Kissing photo campaign breaks down boundaries

We should not have any fear in expressing love.

Steve Gin

Jeremy Simes

For Metro | Calgary There’s more to a kiss than you think.

In light of the worst mass shooting in American history at a popular Orlando gay nightclub, a Calgary artist has launched a campaign to show that love is love.

Steve Gin, who’s curating the Kiss for Orlando project with Loft 112, was rattled by the Sunday morning shooting that killed 49 people, so he decided to fight hate with love.

He said the project was inspired by Andy Warhol’s film, KISS, which explored the smooches of straight and LGBTQ people in the ’60s. “(Kisses) cross the boundaries of sexual orientation,

Calgarians are submitting photos of themselves kissing to a Calgary artist to show that love is love, no matter who it’s between. Submitted

gender and race, and it’s a beautiful exploration of love,” he said. “So I thought this could be an interesting way to stand up to the notion that two people expressing any kind of ‘forbidden’ love

is somehow bad.”

Gin, who won a human rights case after he was fired for marrying his partner, said he thinks people become lulled into a sense of security, where the world is free of

homophobia.

“I think that there is still some oppression, but it’s just gone underground,” he said.

“We’re not totally free across the world.”

He said the photos will be

featured as an online exhibit but, if all goes well, he plans to make printouts and launch a show.

“We should not have any fear in expressing love,” Gin said. “We should not have any shame or use it as any excuse for violence.

“Love is love is love is love is love.”

He said all are welcome to submit their best smooches.

“It can be a gay couple kissing, a two-spirit couple kissing, or maybe even a straight cisgender person who wants to kiss your best queer friend,” he said. “It’s an expression of love. It’s an expression of humanity and possibility.”

If you’re interested in puckering up with your mate, post it to the Kiss for Orlando Facebook page.

Nenshi speaks at gathering Helen Pike

Metro | Calgary Looking after one another always wins. That’s what Calgary’s Mayor Naheed Nenshi said after a lone gunman opened fire inside a crowded gay nightclub in Orlando with an assault-type rifle, killing 49 people according to the Associated Press.

On Monday, the mayor remarked on community, and how Calgarians have come together after the tragedy that’s made worldwide news and shaken LGBTQ communities across Canada.

“As we struggle to understand this horrific act in Florida and as we try to talk politics about gun control, Islamophobia, homophobia, and all these other issues, I think it’s good for us to remember that we live in community, and in community love always wins,” said Nenshi.

The impromptu gathering was attended by hundreds of Calgarians.

“That’s love, that’s community and that’s what I look to at times like this,” said Nenshi.

Agriculture Financial Services Corp.

Government sacks board of directors The Alberta government has sacked the board of a Crown corporation following a report that said there were procurement violations and lavish spending by executives that included golf trips, limo rides, and luxury seats to the Edmonton Oilers.

“I’ve lost the confidence in that board,” Agriculture Minister Oneil Carlier told a legislature news conference Monday.

“I trust that the AFSC will emerge as a stronger organization, with a senior management team and board of directors that is focused on its job — serving the people of Alberta.”

He said the investigation into the Agriculture Financial Services Corporation, or AFSC, was launched by an anonymous tip last November.

Three executives have been suspended with pay while the interim board decides their fate. The executives are the president, the chief operating officer and the vice president for innovation and property development.

Carlier said they have also referred the issued to police, and for that reason declined to name the board members or the executives.

However, the government said the names on the AFSC website accurately reflect the former governance structure.

The website lists the president as Brad Klak, the chief operating officer as Merle Jacobson, and the vice president as Wayne McDonald.

None could be immediately reached for comment.

According to the corporation’s annual report, Klak made $670,000 in salary and benefits in 2015.

There were six board members including the chair, former Alberta Agriculture Minister George Groeneveld.

Groeneveld could not be immediately reached for comment.

The corporation provides farmers and agribusinesses help with loans, crop insurance and farm income disaster assistance. It has 600 employees spread over 46 offices with a head office in Lacombe.

The internal audit, delivered to Carlier on April 28, focused on the last four years and found numerous irregularities.

Many of the problems focused on the broker hired by the corporation to get the best deal on reinsurance.

Abu Sayyaf kills hostage Philippines

Canadian man was kidnapped by terror group in 2015 Canada’s top Mountie says the tough terrain of the southwestern Philippines may make it difficult to find the killers of two Canadian hostages, but it won’t prevent the ongoing effort to bring them to justice.

RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson’s commitment was affirmed Monday by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau following the death of Canadian Robert Hall, who had been held hostage by Abu Sayyaf since September 2015.

Hall’s death comes after the execution in April of fellow Canadian John Ridsdel, who was snatched from a marina

by Abu Sayyaf along with Norwegian Kjartan Sekkingstad and a Philippines national last September.

Paulson said the RCMP is helping local authorities give chase to the kidnappers, “but as you know, it’s a very difficult piece of geography and … challenging environment.”

The Mounties are conducting an extraterritorial investigation into the murders, meaning the perpetrators could one day face justice in Canada, he added.

Trudeau said Canada holds Abu Sayyaf fully responsible for Hall’s death.

“We are more committed than ever to working with the

Robert Hall the canadian Press

government of the Philippines and international partners to pursue those responsible for these heinous acts and bring them to justice,” Trudeau said.

Abu Sayyaf operates mainly in the south of the Philippines, in the western Mindano and the Sulu Archipelago, but staged a major attack in 2004 that killed more than 100 people when militants bombed a ferry in Manila Bay. Trudeau called terrorism “a scourge on the world,” and said all of Canada is mourning with Hall’s family.

“Too many families have endured the unspeakable grief the Hall family is feeling today because of these senseless acts of hatred,” Trudeau said. “On behalf of them and all Canadians, we mourn their loss and reassert our resolve.”

Dear Tim Hortons: Where are the women?

A proposal to create a formal diversity policy at the parent company of Tim Hortons and Burger King aimed at increasing the number of women on its all-male board of directors has been rejected.

Oceanrock Investments Inc. and the Shareholder Association for Research and Education (SHARE) asked the company to write a formal diversity policy and inform shareholders how and when it intends to increase the number of women on its board of directors and in senior management positions.

Oceanrock Investments, which said it owns nearly 19,000 RBI shares, acted on behalf of the Meritas Jantzi social index fund.

Before Tim Hortons and Burger King merged and became RBI in late 2014, a quarter of the Tim Hortons board was comprised of women, according to the shareholder proposal. Now RBI’s 11-person board of directors is all male.

The proposal asked RBI to complete the policy and update shareholders by December 2016.

While there are many benefits to increasing gender diversity on corporate boards, including the potential for better shareholder returns, that wasn’t the sole reason for the proposal, Fred Pinto, OceanRock Investment’s CEO, said while presenting the proposal at the company’s annual general meeting on Thursday.

Before Tim Hortons and Burger King merged and became RBI in late 2014, a quarter of the Tim Hortons board was comprised of women. Now RBI’s 11-person board of directors is all male, including the 10 men pictured here. Contributed

“We did this quite simply because it’s the right thing to do,” he said.

Other shareholders voted to reject the proposal.

The result wasn’t unexpected, Pinto said in an interview following the vote.

The group will now wait to see how many independent shareholders supported their proposal as more detailed results are released in the next few days.

The board had declined to make a recommendation

on how shareholders should vote, but did amend its new director nomination process to consider diverse candidates in response to the proposal.

These are more general steps, Pinto said, and he would like to see RBI take more specific action, including presenting a timeline for gender diversity inclusion.

Gender diversity on corporate boards in Canada has become a source of tension between shareholders and companies.

BCE Inc.’s shareholders voted down a similar proposal at their annual general meeting earlier this year, and a Dollarama shareholder brought up concerns over the lack of women in leadership positions at that company’s meeting earlier this week.

Mental health crisis ‘cannot be ignored’ inequality

PM pledges $69M in funds for indigenous communities The federal government will provide $69 million over the next three years for indigenous mental health services, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Monday after meeting a delegation of more than 20 indigenous youth from northern Ontario.

The funding is designed to help communities tackle urgent mental health needs while the government works with indigenous leaders to negotiate a new health accord, the Prime Minister’s Office said in a statement.

The money is intended to provide services including four crisis response teams in Ontario, Manitoba and Nunavut — identified as having the greatest need — as well as 32 additional mental wellness teams.

from Ontario’s Deer Lake First Nation, said it was important for the young people’s delegation to be heard. “It is time that the youth take their stand ... instead of being pushed aside, to actually take part in discussions that the leaders need to address,� Crowe said.

NDP indigenous affairs critic Charlie Angus has spent weeks hammering the government for failing to add new spending in the budget for indigenous mental health.

The dialogue also needs to be part of a continuing process, said Nishnawbe Aski Nation Grand Chief Alvin Fiddler. “In order for those issues to be addressed, it will require ongoing dialogue, ongoing work,’’ he said. “I think to hear this from an 18-year-old who lives this in their community daily, that’s something that cannot be ignored.�

It is very powerful for parliamentarians to hear directly from youth, Fiddler added.

For many consumers, the need to stay on top of their budget — even on a daily basis — is an essential part of their financial strategy. One way to help manage that is by making most transactions with a debit card. It’s simple to use, offers convenient access to cash, and enables the user to remain within an allotted budget every day.

For those who aren’t fans of potentially comprehensive administration, the debit card is a boon. Typically, checking and savings accounts have a debit card automatically linked to them, side-stepping the need to complete additional applications.

As far as expedient retail transactions go, it’s hard to top the performance of the debit card. It’s as simple as it is speedy. And since the debit card only lets you spend what’s currently in your account, you’re less likely to spend more than you can afford. That’s essential for consumers who wish to stay on top of their spending habits, with a goal of remaining fiscally responsible. And having an updated account balance in your hand after each trans-

Remember their names A gunman wielding an assault-type rifle and a handgun opened fire inside a crowded nightclub in Orlando on Sunday, leaving at least 49 people dead. Here are stories of some of the victims.

Last Monday, Akyra Murray, who turned 18 in January, graduated third in her class of 42 students at West Catholic Preparatory High School in Philadelphia, where she had also been a 1,000-point scorer on the basketball team.

“She was very loving, caring, out to help anybody,” her mother, Natalie Murray, recalled.

To celebrate her graduation, Akyra, her parents and her 4-yearold sister travelled to Orlando for a family vacation.

On Saturday, Murray told her parents she wanted to party in downtown Orlando. They dropped her off at Pulse at 11:30 Saturday night.

At about 2 a.m., Akyra Murray sent a text message to her moth-

er, saying that she and her cousins wanted to be picked up. She said there had been a shooting.

Moments later, the phone rang.

“She was saying she was shot and she was screaming, saying she was losing a lot of blood,” Natalie Murray said.

Murray said her daughter was hiding in a bathroom stall, her arm bleeding for hours with no medical treatment.

Mercedez Marisol Flores went to Pulse nightclub almost every weekend, Flores’ sister-in-law said Monday, often with her best friend Amanda Alvear. Both women died in the shooting.

“She was very outgoing,” Nancy Flores said of Mercedez Flores.

“She had lots of friends. They

used to always meet up at Pulse.”

Born in Queens, N.Y., the 26-year-old Flores moved to Florida when she was a child, her sister-in-law said. She worked at Target and studied at Valencia College, a local community college. She wanted to become a party planner so she could coordinate events with her two older brothers, who are both DJs. Alvear, 25, had bonded with friend Sandy Marte over breakups and health problems. Marte said he was trying to comfort her after the breakup. She had lost a lot of weight following surgery and Marte encouraged her to socialize and enjoy life.

“She was loving, she was caring, she always had an open ear,”

Marte said of his friend Alvear.

Luis Omar Ocasio-Capo wanted to be a star. The 20-year-old dancer was working at Starbucks while studying theatre, and would have auditioned on Tuesday for a play, said his sister, Belinette Ocasio-Capo.

Omar, as he was known to family and friends, seemed brash to 70-year-old Claudia Mason, who worked with him at Starbucks. But after getting to know her much younger co-worker, “I realized he had a very outgoing personality,” said Mason. “His sense of humour was definitely his defining personality trait.”

Ocasio-Capo was hired as a cashier before moving over to the Starbucks, and became a

great barista, Mason said.

“Omar got along with everyone,” she said.

Eddie Jamoldroy Justice tapped out a series of chilling text messages to his mother from a bathroom at the Orlando nightclub.

The 45-minute exchange began with a message of love.

“Mommy I love you,” the first message to Mina Justice said at 2:06 a.m. The messages stopped shortly after he confirmed to her that the shooter was nearby.

Eddie Justice, 30, was normally a homebody who liked to eat and work out, his mother said. He liked to make everyone laugh.

He worked as an accountant and lived in a condo in downtown Orlando. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

The gunman whose attack on a gay nightclub left 49 victims dead appears to have been a “homegrown extremist” who espoused support for a jumble of often-conflicting Islamic radical groups, the White House and the FBI said Monday.

As Orlando mourned its dead with flowers, candles and vigils, counterterrorism investigators dug into the background of 29-year-old Omar Mateen for clues to why the American-born Muslim carried out the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history.

“So far, we see no indication that this was a plot directed from outside the United States, and we see no indication that he was part of any kind of network,” said FBI Director James Comey. But he said Mateen was clearly “radicalized.”

Comey said the bureau is also trying to determine whether Mateen had recently scouted Disney World as a potential target.

The FBI chief defended the bureau’s handling of Mateen during two previous investigations into his apparent terrorist sympathies.

Wielding an AR-15 semi-automatic rifle and a handgun, Mateen opened fire at Pulse Orlando early Sunday in a three-hour shooting rampage and hostage siege that ended with a SWAT team killing him. During the attack, he called 911 to profess allegiance to Daesh.

Orlando shooting

Shock and condemnation Hiring practices G4S security firm

defended

Terror attack

Global public figures react to Orlando massacre

RUSSIA People have been bringing flowers and rainbow flags to the U.S. Embassy in Moscow to show their solidarity with victims of the shooting since early Monday. A reporter saw two young men take out a placard saying “Love wins” before police officers came up and led them away.

Russia passed a law in 2013 banning the so-called propaganda of gay relationships among minors, which authorities have used to ban any public displays of support for the gay community.

The security company that employed both the Florida nightclub gunman and an armoured car guard who killed three coworkers in Edmonton in 2012 has defended its hiring practices, but says it cannot guarantee employees won’t commit violent crimes.

Communications director Katie McLeod of the Canadian arm of U.K.-based G4S says the global security company does as much as it can to investigate prospective employees before hiring them, using both government and its own checks to screen them.

“In Canada, you must have your provincial security licence before you are even considered for employment and that follows all sorts of processes with the different provincial authorities,” McLeod said. “It varies from province to province.”

Omar Mateen, a G4S employee in Orlando, Fla., has been identified as the gunman who killed 49 people and wounded more than 50 others in an attack early Sunday on a gay nightclub in the city.

In 2012 in Edmonton, an armed G4S guard killed three coworkers and wounded a fourth while they were servicing a University of Alberta campus ATM. Travis Baumgartner pleaded guilty to one count of firstdegree murder, two counts of second-degree murder and one count of attempted murder in the Edmonton slayings and was sentenced to life in prison with no parole eligibility for 40 years.

He fled the shootings with more than $300,000 before being apprehended at the CanadaU.S. border two days later.

McLeod said G4S has since sold its armoured car division to Montreal-based rival GardaWorld.

From across the world, officials and public figures are expressing condemnation and shock over the Florida mass shooting at the Pulse Orlando nightclub on Sunday, when police say a gunman wielding an assault-type rifle opened fire, killing at least 49 people and wounding dozens.

FRANCE The Eiffel Tower will shine in the colours of a rainbow on Monday night, starting at 10:45 p.m. to honour victims of the mass shooting. Paris City Hall began paying respects in the afternoon with a display of American and rainbow flags, while French President Francois Hollande condemned the mass killing as an attack on freedom. He vowed to toughen the fight against terrorism “at the side of the American people.”

France feels deeply the horror of deadly attacks after the November terror attacks on a music hall, restaurants and bars and the main sports stadium killed 130. That was preceded by attacks on a satirical newspaper and a kosher grocery store. All were claimed

by Daesh.

BRITAIN With tears, song and defiance, thousands of people gathered in London for a vigil in honour of the victims.

Londoners observed two minutes’ silence, before 49 balloons — one for each person killed — were released into the air.

Queen Elizabeth II and Prime Minister David Cameron have sent messages of condolence from Britain for the attack.

GERMANY German Chancellor Angela Merkel says it’s important to continue with “our open, tolerant life” following attacks such as the mass shooting at an Orlando gay club.

Speaking during a visit to China on Monday, Merkel said that “we have a heavy heart” over the fact that “the hatred and malignancy of a single person” cost so many lives.

MUSLIM NATIONS The world’s largest body

of Muslim-majority nations condemned the mass shooting but also warned against “political campaigning and self-serving agendas” in the wake of the tragedy.

The 57-nation Organization of Islamic Cooperation said in a statement Monday that “the massacre, as terrible as it is, must not be taken out of its context as a domestic American case.”

The OIC says it is concerned that “hasty judgment” and “Islamophobic discourse” have emerged before a full investigation into the motivations and causes of the attack. The organization also conveyed its condolences to the families of the victims of “this horrible act.”

It says the teachings of Islam are based on peace and tolerance, and that terrorism is a crime against humanity.

ISRAEL Israeli President Reuven Rivlin says in a letter to President Barack Obama that Israel stands “shoulder to shoulder with our American brothers and sisters” after the attack on the LGBTQ community.

Rivlin sent his condolences, saying there is “no comfort for those who have had their loved ones torn away from them.”

PALESTINIAN TERRITORIES Palestinian Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah says the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history is a “senseless act of terror and hate” and that “Palestinians stand with the American people in this difficult time.”

The statement made no direct reference to the LGBTQ community. Homosexuality is deeply taboo in the conserva-

tive Palestinian society. Gay Palestinians tend to be secretive about their social lives and some have crossed into Israel to live openly safely. The sentiment is reflected throughout the Arab and Muslim world.

Apple is working to make its iPhone and other gadgets smarter, responding to competitors’ recent moves by building more artificial intelligence into its Siri digital assistant, photos, maps and other online services.

The tech giant kicked off its annual software conference by announcing new features for the Apple Watch and Apple TV, while unveiling a new design for the Apple Music service. It’s also extending Apple Pay to the web, so users can pay for purchases made on their Mac computers using the fingerprint authorization on their iPhone or Apple Watch.

Thinking fast and slow The tech giant is taking a cautious approach to integrating computer intelligence into its online services. Apple made no mention of the kind of intelligent programs, or “chatbots,” that competitors are rushing to build into their messaging platforms.

Apple executives also stressed their efforts to safeguard users’ privacy even while providing recommendations and suggestions based on individual user information. The company says it’s committed to keeping most user data encrypted on individual iPhones or other devices, rather than uploading information to process on Apple’s servers.

Craig Federighi, Apple senior vice-president of software engineering, speaks at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco on Monday. Tony Avelar/The associated Press

Making Siri smarter The digital assistant will play a larger role. Apple announced that Siri will come to Mac desktops and laptop computers, where it can locate files and perform other feats. Siri will also gain new capabilities with Apple TV, where it will let you launch live TV viewing with voice commands and search YouTube and the iTunes store. Perhaps more important, Apple is letting Siri work with applications made by other companies.

Apps get schooled Apple’s AI improvements aren’t restricted to Siri. An update to the iMessage app will rely on machine learning to suggest appropriate emoji to place alongside texts. It will also show graphics and thumbnails of the info contained in a web link and automatically play online videos.

New coats of paint Other changes were more esthetic. The messaging app, for instance, will let users alter the

size of the bubbles surrounding the text to help convey the feelings underlying the words.

Apple Music, which now has 15 million paying subscribers, is getting a new interface that’s intended to be simpler and that will make it easier to find music you store on your phone.

Apple’s watch also got a facelift. The retooled watch software, due in September, will include an “SOS” feature that will automatically call for help in emergencies.

In a surprise move, Microsoft said Monday that it is buying LinkedIn for about $26.2 billion, a deal that could bring subtle but significant changes for the professional network’s more than 430 million members.

LinkedIn will remain an independent unit of Microsoft. It will keep its name, and current CEO Jeff Weiner will stay on and report directly to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. LinkedIn lets members network with other professionals, upload their resumes, catch up on career advice and search for jobs.

For Microsoft, the deal presents an opportunity to cement itself as the tech company for the world’s professionals, helping them find jobs, learn new skills and do their work. Microsoft will also look for ways to

combine Microsoft’s software for workers with the information stored in LinkedIn’s online professional network.

For instance, Nadella said Microsoft’s digital assistant Cortana could mine LinkedIn for

helpful data. “Cortana can wake up before you go into a meeting and inform you about all the people you are meeting for the first time and the connections you have with them,” he said.

Similarly, he said, LinkedIn’s

“news feed” — which provides articles and updates from your contacts on the network — could highlight information that’s relevant to a project you might be working on using Microsoft’s Office 365 software.

LinkedIn users might see changes in the first year after the deal is closed, Nadella said.

Microsoft may also integrate its business software with LinkedIn’s growing business of providing sales professionals with contacts and information to help make sales to large companies.

LinkedIn, based in Mountain View, California, is by far Microsoft’s largest acquisition — much larger than Skype, which the company bought for $8.5 billion in 2011.

Rosemary Westwood on the lessons of stanford

Schools must choose a side Any post-secondary institution that would prefer its name not become synonymous with ‘rape’ would do well to internalize what the Brock Turner sexual-assault case made abundantly clear: Universities have a responsibility not just to react to sexual violence but also to prevent it.

To Michele Dauber, a law professor at Stanford University, Jane Doe is a new Rosa Parks.

It’s a striking, possibly overreaching statement.

But it sets the stakes now at play for universities in the starkest of terms: You are either on the right or the wrong side of fighting campus sexual violence, just as you were once (and remain) on the right or wrong side of fighting racism.

Jane Doe is the victim in the Stanford sexual-assault case, which ignited international condemnation after her assailant, Brock Turner, was given a slight six-month jail sentence for crimes that might have earned him a maximum of 14 years.

“We are at a real watershed moment in public perception of campus sexual assaults,” Dauber told The New York Times this week.

At the centre: Jane Doe’s defiant courtroom statement, read aloud on newscasts, shared tens of millions of times online, quoted by the vicepresident of the United States and credited for igniting fierce conversation over consent and rape.

In her letter, Jane Doe attacked Turner’s effort to scapegoat his behaviour on booze and partying. Through it, she refused to meekly accept her fate, Dauber suggests, just as Rosa Parks once refused to move from her seat on a bus.

Canadian universities should take this new level of furor over sexual violence as a warning: Think

Canadian universities should be asking themselves how many Brock Turners are wandering their own campuses.

“Stanford,” and the next word that now comes to mind is “rape” — and your school could be next.

Of course, they shouldn’t need the warning, but they also shouldn’t have needed provincial governments to force them to create dis-

tinct sexual-assault procedures. (Even back in 1993, one study found as many as one in four women are sexually assaulted at universities.)

New bills passed in Ontario and B.C., as well as another introduced in

Manitoba, all require that campuses adopt standalone policies. Far too many need the push. Irene Shankar, a researcher at Mount Royal University, surveyed 103 English-language schools this spring and found that only 25 had policies. Some

Metro POLL

Was justice served at Stanford?

Brock Turner’s six-month jail sentence — of which he’s expected to serve only half — has been called unfairly lenient, with many who object claiming that Turner’s being a white star athlete at a prestigious school saved him from spending far more time in jail. But we wanted to know what you think.

We asked: Is Brock Turner’s six-month sentence a sufficient punishment?

96%: NO

(1,217 votes) He got off way too easily in relation to the damage he inflicted on his victim.

Others won’t be deterred.

Rape is rape.

Period. alcohol is no defence.

4%: YES

(49 votes) He’ll suffer in jail, and spending the rest of his life on the sex-offender registry will have major implications.

It’s far past time we teach our little boys that they are not entitled to women.

He raped someone and is only getting a sixmonth sentence. Disgusting! Disgraceful!

Such a light sentence underscores the perceived value of men’s lives over a woman’s right to be safe.

His actions reflect a deeper psychological attitude of superiority. This behaviour was learned.

White privilege is real, and this is a sickening case of it.

Protesters at Stanford’s graduation ceremony wear ‘1/3’ signs on their mortarboards, referring to the stat that one in three women will be sexually assaulted in her lifetime. the associated press

schools, like the University of British Columbia, have been publicly shamed into instituting better practices over their poor handling of complaints.

Effective policies to tackle the fallout of violence is one thing. Preventing assaults is quite another.

In a recent case study of one anonymous Alberta campus, Shankar found the school paid so much lip service to fighting sexual violence, action got left behind. “It’s almost become this opting-out that universities use,” she told me.

Schools will repeat how “complex” the problem is, which normalizes sexual violence and lets schools off the hook for solutions, she added.

Until, of course, an attack makes international headlines.

Stanford has defended its own conduct in the wake of the assault, noting there was “an immediate police investigation” (for which the school can’t actually claim any responsibility) and that “in less than two weeks after the incident, Stanford had conducted an investigation and banned Turner from setting foot on campus — as a student or otherwise.”

Students, however, are not satisfied. There’s a petition calling for, among other things, the school to apologize to Jane Doe because the attack happened on its campus, increase funding for sexual-assault prevention and mandatory sexual-assault education for all students.

Going by Stanford’s own data, those last two suggestions are needed. The school’s 2015 campus climate survey found that one-third of undergraduate women experienced nonconsensual sexual misconduct, “including acts ranging from sexual touching to penetration” (also known as rape).

The fact that students might get to university without a firm understanding of sexual assault mirrors Brock Turner’s own court statements. He blamed a culture of drinking and promiscuity for his action, apparently unable to separate sex from assault.

It’s an explanation that excuses nothing, but one that should deeply worry college and university administrators. They should be asking themselves how many Brock Turners are wandering their own campuses.

Taking swift action in the wake of assaults — with care for a victim and consequences for an abuser — is good policy, but it’s not perfect behaviour.

The best way to avoid being Stanford isn’t to defend your actions after the fact.

It’s to stop the violence in the first place.

A sonnet that soothed the world tony awards

at the show

Love is love is the line we need to keep repeating

Tonys a beacon of diversity For all the talk about diversity and inclusiveness this season (absent at the Oscars, present at the Tonys), nothing could beat one powerful image: All four of the musical acting winners at the Tonys were black actors. “It’s so diverse that Donald Trump has threatened to build a wall around this theatre,” said host James Corden, pictured below.

Daveed Diggs won the award for featured actor in a musical for Hamilton, Cynthia Erivo won for leading actress in a musical for The Color Purple, Leslie Odom, Jr., won leading actor in a musical for Hamilton, and Renee Elise Goldsberry, pictured top inset, won the award for featured actress in a musical for Hamilton.

THE SHOW: The 70th Annual Tony Awards THE MOMENT: The sonnet

The evening was already emotional. Host James Corden kicked it off by acknowledging the mass shooting that had occurred early that morning in a gay nightclub in Orlando: “Theatre is a place where every race, creed and sexuality is equal, embraced and loved,” he said. Winners celebrated theatre’s inclusiveness in their acceptance speeches.

Then Hamilton creator LinManuel Miranda won for Best Score and read a sonnet he’d just written. “Senseless acts of tragedy remind us, that nothing here is promised.

Not one day,” he said.

Emotion increasing, he continued, “We live through times when hate and fear seem stronger . . . hope and love last longer.”

Voice breaking, he hit his crescendo: “Love is love is love is love is love is love is love, cannot be killed or swept aside.” With each “love,” he pulled a lump higher into your throat. You could feel the room stop breathing.

If you haven’t yet watched the speech of Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda, centre, you need to. getty images

If you missed this show — even if you don’t give a toss about theatre — you should watch this speech. Forget the rhetoric that bombards us every time terrible events are perpetrated. Forget the silver ribbons that people will wear

for a while, then put aside.

Miranda’s last line is what we need to keep reiterating. (#Loveislove became an immediate hashtag.)

The show went on. People sang joyfully. Corden did a funny bit about how Law &

Order kept Broadway actors employed. Several winners spoke eloquently about the power of art to help explain tragedy and console after it occurs. But the sonnet was the peak.

Mental health still carries stigma: Poll Online survey

Many people afraid to seek help for issues, doctor says New data shows 40 per cent of Canadians say they’ve experienced feelings of anxiety or depression — but haven’t sought medical help.

The numbers come from a survey of more than 1,500 Canadian adults by Women’s College Hospital and Shoppers Drug Mart.

The results offer a striking look at the level of stigma and shame still surrounding mental illness, with 42 per cent of respondents saying they would be embarrassed to admit if they did have a mental health issue.

“People, despite everything, see it as a sign of weakness,” said Dr. Valerie Taylor, psychiatrist-inchief, department of medicine at Women’s College Hospital and a scientist at Women’s College Research Institute.

Mental health has made headlines in recent years, thanks to the efforts of activists, companies and individuals pushing to end the stigma — from the Can-

ada-wide, conversation-starting campaign, to American actress Kristen Bell’s recent TIME magazine essay, in which she opened up for the first time about her struggle with depression after not speaking about her mental health issues for the first 15 years of her career.

“There is such an extreme stigma about mental health issues, and I can’t make heads or tails of why it exists,” Bell wrote in her May essay. “Anxiety and depression are impervious to accolades or achievements. Anyone can be affected, despite their level of success or their place on the food chain.”

The WCH and Shoppers Drug Mart survey was conducted on-

Even so, more than one third of respondents said they wouldn’t know how to support someone who needed help.

“I think if we could decrease some of the stigma, people would perhaps be better able to come forward earlier and we’d have (fewer) tragedies,” Taylor said.

Ulla Jensen, a retired nurse in Port Hope, Ont., can relate to the tragedy of mental illness; her daughter Jeanine D’Antonio took her own life in April 2014 at the age of 44 after struggling with depression and anxiety.

If a man’s waist measures more than 102 centimetres, or a woman’s measures more than 88 centimetres, then the patient is considered abdominally obese

Stop bellyaching about belly fat HEALTH

Health pros get real about risk factors and how to deal with it If your spare tire is expanding, there may be cause for concern — but not because your pants don’t fit.

Here, health experts explain what stomach fat is, how it gets there, why it’s dangerous and what you can do about it.

What is abdominal obesity?

Dr. Fahad Razak, an internist at St. Michael’s Hospital, says abdominal obesity is a disproportionate gain of fat within the abdomen, relative to other parts of the body. If a man’s waist measures more than 102 centimetres, or a woman’s

measures more than 88 centimetres, then the patient is considered abdominally obese.

The fat tissue is actually two types of fat: subcutaneous fat, just below the skin; and visceral fat, stored in the abdomen and around the organs.

Who gets it?

Dr. Sonia Anand, professor of medicine and epidemiology at McMaster, says men are more likely to be abdominally obese than women, said Anand. But once women are post-menopausal and losing estrogen, they may grow larger bellies, she said.

South Asian populations are prone to developing visceral fat, said Anand, whose research focuses on people of this demographic.

And then there’s body shape. Whether you have a pear shape — meaning you

carry more weight in your hips — or apple shape — meaning you carry weight in your stomach — comes down to genetics.

What are the health risks?

If someone has an excess of stomach fat, they usually have an excess of visceral fat too, said Dr. Paul Poirier, a cardiologist and professor of pharmacy at Laval University. That fat around your heart, liver, kidneys and stomach, can lead to organ malfunction, he said.

The visceral fat also produces a molecule called adipokine, which is proinflammatory and circulates around the body, said Poirier. When someone has low-grade inflammation, they’re more prone to coronary artery disease, gingivitis and other health issues, he said.

But the main health con-

cerns are: diabetes, cholesterol abnormalities and heart disease, said Razak. Abdominal fat is more metabolically active and can affect a body’s hormones and insulin control.

Abdominal fat can also contribute to elevated levels of bad cholesterol and depressed levels of good cholesterol, he said.

What can you do about it?

Reduce calorie intake, increase fruit and vegetable intake, increase fibre intake, reduce intake of saturated and trans fats. Exercise.

Registered dietitian Abby Langer agrees: “I would tell people to clean up their diet,” she said.

Bariatric surgery could help to shrink a patient’s stomach and improve overall health, despite being an extreme step, said Razak.

MYTH busting belly fat Myth 1: Drinking beer causes beer bellies It’s not the beer, but the calories, said Dr. Sonia Anand, McMaster University.

But if you have a beer belly, you may want to cut back on the beer. People with abdominal obesity have a higher risk of a fatty liver.

Combined with alcohol, that will stress your liver, increasing your risk of chronic liver disease.

Myth 2: Spot reduction workouts shrink bellies “There’s no such thing as spot reduction,” says Dr. Yoni Freedhoff, author of Why Diets Fail and How to Make Yours Work. If you work on losing weight, you

will eventually lose body weight all over. Personal trainer Kathleen Trotter adds it’s nutrition, that will help you achieve weight loss goals. “You can work out for 45 hours a day and it’s not going to make a difference unless you eat well,” says Myth 3: Cutting out specific foods helps While some research shows diets high in simple carbohydrates — such as white bread and sugary desserts — can contribute to abdominal obesity, that’s not proven, said Anand.

Instead, overall good nutrition is what you should be focusing on to lose body weight, says Trotter.

shoulders Gronk, Lewis back Scherzer Nationals over Cubs doing ‘football stuff ’ MLB

Max Scherzer retired the first 16 batters he faced and threw seven innings of two-hit ball, striking out 11 in a pitching masterpiece that carried the Washington Nationals past the Chicago Cubs 4-1 Monday night.

Scherzer’s bid for his third career no-hitter ended with one out in the sixth when Addison Russell hit a 3-2 pitch into the left-field seats. The only other batter to reach against Scherzer (8-4) was Anthony Rizzo, who doubled in the seventh.

Facing the team with the best record in the majors, Scherzer became the 26th pitcher in baseball history to have 40 games with at least 10 strikeouts. He has won three straight starts, allowing only three runs over 22 innings.

NFL

Pats playmakers make off-season workout debuts The Spring of Gronk has officially begun. So, too, have the first meaningful steps on the road back for Patriots running back Dion Lewis.

Lewis, who is recovering from November surgery to repair a torn left ACL, made his first on-field appearance of New England’s off-season program Monday — the final day that this portion of organized team activities are open to the media.

He said getting to do actual drills was a welcome change from the strict protocols that trainers and doctors have had him under since his injury.

“It feels good to do football stuff. It’s been awhile. A little rusty. Just trying to be myself again,” Lewis said.

Tight end Rob Gronkowski was also on the field for the first time after being absent from the on-field portion of last week’s mandatory minicamp.

On Monday, quarterback Tom Brady’s favourite target sported a shaved head and the same cheery disposition that has made him a fan favourite.

Gronkowski said he was excited to be back and echoed the characterization that coach

Cubs

The right-hander also earned a measure of revenge against the Cubs after yielding seven runs in five innings at Wrigley Field on May 6 in the midst of Chicago’s four-game sweep.

Scherzer struck out 20 in a win over Detroit last month.

In this one, he fanned nine of the first 10 batters and victimized Dexter Fowler three times.

The NL East-leading Nationals have won four straight and seven of eight.

Bill Belichick made last week when asked why Gronk and several Patriots were missing from the workouts.

“I was just doing other things, as coach said last week, so everything’s good,” Gronkowski said. “We were just working on other things so everything’s all smooth. Everything’s good.”

New England seems willing to wait to see if Lewis, who had 622 offensive yards and four touchdowns last season, can

bounce back. Lewis said he’s not taking the faith the Patriots have in him for granted.

“I told myself I’m gonna work as hard as possible to be back as fast as possible,” he said.

“I’m just still trying to get better and stronger every day.”

Group E In Lyon

Group stage

Italians flip script on pre-tourney expectations Italy opened its campaign with an impressive victory over Belgium, while defending champion Spain beat the Czech Republic on a good day for the traditional powerhouses.

Ridiculed by their own media as one of the country’s worst tournament teams ever, the Italians responded with a huge 2-0 win that sent the Azzurri to the top of Group E after Sweden and Ireland drew 1-1 earlier.

Also Monday, Spain needed a late goal from Gerard Pique to beat a particularly stubborn Czech Republic 1-0.

Tight defending and two well-taken goals were the keys to Italy overcoming a Belgium lineup tipped by some to win it all.

While the likes of Eden Hazard and Kevin De Bruyne failed to deliver, Emanuele Giaccherini and Graziano Pelle made a mockery of Italy’s underdog status.

Giaccherini pounced on a stunning 40-metre pass over the Belgium defence by Leonardo Bonucci to score in the 32nd minute and Pelle rounded off a breakaway with an unstoppable volley from inside the area in stoppage time.

“The critics were all against us,” said Italy coach Antonio Conte. “But this is the beauty of football. You get the chance to prove people wrong, if you have the determination and will to work like we have.”

In Toulouse, Spain’s patience finally paid off in the 87th minute, when Andres Iniesta found space on the left side of the area to chip over a perfect cross for Pique to head home.

It was no less than Vicente Del Bosque’s team deserved.

“We took the initiative during the entire match. We dominated,” the Spain coach said.
