McNeil needs to step up on domestic violence: Advocate Haley Ryan

Flags here to stay

traffic safety

But no new ones are coming for a while: Council Zane Woodford

Metro | Halifax Halifax won’t be getting rid of any crosswalk flags yet, but there won’t be any new ones installed for a while either. Staff recommended removing the flags from crosswalks with pedestrian-activated lights – 56 of the 154 in the municipality – after a study of 50 crosswalks that found only eight per cent of pedestrians used the flags. Council voted down that rec ommendation, and after two hours of debate, voted 10-7 in

favour of a motion from Coun. Shawn Cleary to halt the approval and installation of any new cross walk flags pending a staff report piloting “various treatments to enhance the visibility and safety” of crosswalks using “high-quality data.” That report is due back by the end of December 2017. The consensus among most councillors was that the sidewalk flags aren’t perfect, but they’re effective, at least anecdotally. “There’s gaps in it, I agree,” Coun. Tony Mancini said. “How ever, why would we remove flags or even consider removing flags, until we have a replacement for that technique or that tool?”

Coun. Richard Zurawski sug gested the flags could actually be harmful, by making pedestrians feel safer than they are, or by making people take longer to cross the street. He pushed his fellow coun cillors to let staff collect more information about their efficacy before acting. “We should never do some thing because the gut feeling is that it’s going to be better. Often data contradicts us,” he said. Coun. Lisa Blackburn argued that while she’s in favour of evi dence-based decision-making, she doesn’t think data can capture all the ways the flags are effective.

Metro | Halifax One professor says Premier Ste phen McNeil’s continued defence of a campaign staffer convicted of domestic assault who resigned this week shows he’s “unwilling” to have difficult conversations around partner violence. In the second full week of the provincial election campaign, two scandals have hit Premier McNeil as communications aide Kyley Harris resigned Tuesday, a day after the Liberals dropped candidate Matthew MacKnight in Pictou East over his 2013 de rogatory comments found on social media. Dr. Ardath Whynacht, sociol ogy professor at Mount Allison University, said both the wording of Harris’ resignation letter that he could be “punished” for the

2014 incident but didn’t want the party “to bear that burden any longer,” and McNeil’s com ment that Harris felt “under at tack,” show they’re not taking the public’s concerns seriously. “The kind of casual misogyny … that’s being promoted here is Premier McNeil is basically ask ing Nova Scotians to cut (Harris) a break,” Whynacht said Tuesday. “For (McNeil) to frame him as a martyr and a victim of some sort of public mob, when really we’re living in a province where services for victims of family vio lence are drastically lacking, that seems absurd to me. ” Whynacht said domestic vio lence is always complex and while Harris is “no monster,” the responsible thing would’ve been to have Harris and McNeil directly address the issue that affects so many families – while not framing it as a “mistake.”

Witness insists he saw bloody man in Sandeson’s apartment

William Sandeson’s lawyer is challenging the memory of a neighbour and friend who says he saw a bloody man in the med ical student’s apartment. Pookiel McCabe said Tuesday he had two brief occasions to see the man, sitting motionless on a chair with blood on his back, as well as cash and a lot of blood on the floor. Sandeson, 24, is on trial in Nova Scotia Supreme Court for

the murder of 22-year-old phys ics student Taylor Samson. The jury has heard previously Sam son had gone to the apartment to sell Sandeson 20 pounds of marijuana. Defence attorney Eugene Tan showed McCabe and the jury police photos and surveillance video of the moments McCabe was in Sandeson’s Halifax apart ment on Aug. 15, 2015. Tan suggested McCabe only

briefly saw the bloody man, and that his view was obstructed by a friend. Tan questioned him about a video from Sandeson’s security system that showed McCabe and a friend going to Sandeson’s twice that evening. McCabe only looks in briefly on the first visit, while on the second he stands behind his friend outside the apartment. The Canadian Press

But the move to drop Mac Knight over social media com ments, while continuing to de fend Harris, makes it look like the Liberals don’t take domestic vio lence seriously, Whynacht said. If McNeil wanted to truly sup port victims of family violence, Whynacht said he could have taken the opportunity to outline the counselling programs for vic tims and offenders, as well as the Liberal’s plans on how to improve them if re-elected. Making the issue even more relevant for the Liberals is their colleague Minister Lena Diab, whose husband was charged with assaulting her on New Year’s Eve, Whynacht said. Looking ahead to election day, Whynacht said there’s still time for McNeil to step up but Nova Scotians have to decide whether they want a government willing to have “difficult public conver sations.”

Halifax Digest Dartmouth senior accused of indecent act while watching child play An 80-year-old Dartmouth man has been charged for masturbating in public while watching a child play outside. At about 12:45 p.m. on April 29, Halifax Regional Police said they got a call of a man masturbating while he watched a child playing outside a residence on Ruben Court in Dartmouth.

The man had been in the doorway of a nearby residence, the release said. Officers arrived and arrested a man a short time later without incident. He was later released, and has since been charged with committing an indecent act. Eric John Meredith, 80, of Dartmouth will appear in Dartmouth provincial court on June 6. Metro

NDP targets ‘one per cent’ Nova Scotia

Votes

Burrill pledges to create a high-income tax bracket Nova Scotia’s wealthiest residents could face a tax hike if the provincial NDP win the May 30 election. Leader Gary Burrill says he would raise taxes on people earning more than $250,000 a year. He says about 3,700 people,

which he called a “fraction of the 1 per cent,” would be affected. The new high-income bracket would tax income over $250,000 at a rate of 24 per cent, up from a 21 per cent rate for anyone earning above $150,000. The increase would push the combined tax rate to 57 per cent, the highest in Canada. Burrill told reporters Tuesday in Halifax that the tax hike would generate an extra $20 million a year for provincial coffers. The Canadian Press

Bridgewater

Girls felt pressured to send photos, court told A Nova Scotia court has been told that more than 20 girls, some as young as 13, felt pressured to send intimate photos to boys and were unaware they were being shared. Six boys were charged in July 2016 in Bridgewater. An agreed statement of facts submitted in Bridgewater provincial court Tuesday says one 13-year-old girl was repeatedly asked for sexual photos over several days and felt pressured to send them, as she felt a rumour would be spread about

her if she did not. The document says two Dropbox accounts were created for the purpose of sharing intimate images of girls aged between 13 and 17 in various states of undress, including bare breasts and fully nude. The document says most photos were sent through Snapchat — in which images disappear after 10 seconds — but the boys circumvented the time limit by using other phones to take a photo of the photo.

Quebecers find silver lining in the f lood

As Liz Smart sat in a canoe outside her Montreal-area home, surrounded by several feet of water, she joked about having to make sure her husband’s ashes were kept on high ground. “I know it’s morbid but it’s the truth,” she mused in an interview Tuesday. “He built this house 10 years ago — in three months. He was a master plumber. I was like, ‘Out of all the times I need you here!’ He could have come in handy.” It took only a few hours Sun-

day morning for the water in Smart’s basement in Deux-Montagnes to reach just below the first floor. Nonetheless, she was in relatively good spirits being transported around the neighbourhood by her friend James Taylor in his rented canoe. “When my husband died (a year ago) I was very alone; it was a very lonely time,” Smart said. “This is a collective. People are smiling. They are putting things into perspective — your wealth is your health.”

Not far away, the water was acting like a moat around Sylvie Briere’s flooded stone house but that didn’t prevent her from emphasizing the positive. “The solidarity is incredible,” she said. “We have discovered our neighbours.” Briere said she and her neighbours spent Saturday night together building a wall of sand with the help of concrete blocks that were transported to the end of her street by another resident.

U.S. President Donald Trump abruptly fired FBI Director James Comey Tuesday, ousting the nation’s top law enforcement official in the midst of an investigation into whether Trump’s campaign had ties to Russia’s election meddling. In a letter to Comey, Trump said the firing was necessary to restore “public trust and confidence” in the FBI. Comey has come under intense scrutiny in recent months for his role in an investigation into Democrat Hillary Clinton’s email practices, including a pair of letters he sent to Congress on the matter in the closing days of last year’s election. Trump made no mention of Comey’s role in the Clinton investigation. But the president did assert that Comey informed him “on three separate occasions that I am not under investigation.” Tuesday’s stunning announcement came shortly after the FBI

corrected a sentence in Comey’s sworn testimony on Capitol Hill last week. Comey told lawmakers that Huma Abedin, a top aide to Hillary Clinton, had sent “hundreds and thousands” of emails to her husband’s laptop, including some with classified information. On Tuesday, the FBI said in a two-page letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee that only “a small number” of the thousands of emails found on the laptop had been forwarded there while most had simply been backed up from electronic devices. Most of the email chains on the laptop containing classified information were not the result of forwarding, the FBI said. Comey, 56, was nominated by President Barack Obama for the FBI post in 2013 to a 10-year term. Praised for his independence and integrity, Comey has spent three decades in law enforcement and has been no stranger to controversy. Before the past months’ controversies, Comey was perhaps best known for a remarkable 2004 standoff with top officials in the George W. Bush administration over a federal domestic surveillance program. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Don Meredith resigns amid teen-sex scandal Disgraced Sen. Don Meredith bowed to longstanding demands to resign on Tuesday, one day before the red chamber was poised to expel him. The resignation came in a statement Tuesday afternoon, a week after a Senate ethics committee ruled that Meredith should be kicked out of the Senate for his sexual affair with a teenage girl. Meredith said the Senate is more important than his “moral failings” and that he will “move forward” with his life.

Meredith’s resignation means he avoids becoming the first senator in Canadian history to be expelled Don Meredith from the up- the canadian press per house. At least one senator is concerned that an ongoing workplace harassment investigation into Meredith’s behaviour will be tossed aside. TORSTAR NEWS SERVICE

Here are five Wonder Woman partnerships worth considering Warner Bros. has joined forces with a nutrition bar called thinkThin to promote its upcoming Wonder Woman film.

Not for me. This is the #thinspiration I need for bathing suit season. I say this is a chance for brands to make some money while simultaneously empowering women to lose weight and also aid them in just being better at being women.

Diversity opportunity in public newspaper funds Vicky Mochama

Metro | Toronto If our institutions won’t take diversity seriously, then it’s fitting they be forced to if Ottawa gives them money. Last week, the federal government issued an ultimatum to universities participating in the Canada Research Chairs program. Within the next three years, schools must meet diversity targets or face funding cuts. Currently, universities underperform in awarding chairs to four designated groups: women, people with disabilities, Indigenous people and visible minorities. Schools have made some progress. 2017 data shows universities met targets of 15 per cent and one per cent for visible minorities and Indigenous people, respectively. But, as federal Science Minister Kirsty Duncan told the Globe and Mail: “It’s been a decade, and there simply hasn’t been enough progress.” Thus, the ultimatum. It should work that way with newspapers too. Some publishers are asking the Canadian government to assist the industry with its struggles and others are suggesting Ottawa step up its print advertising budget. This is an opportunity. The carrot-and-stick approach might work for more than one industry lacking diversity. Canada’s print media could stand to feel some pressure.

SUPREME COURT OF NOVA SCOTIA STREET CAPITAL BANK OF CANADA - and – GRACE JARVIS

If the federal government opts to assist the press, there should be strings attached – on diversity. It’s a truism that Canadian media is mostly white. But it’s only axiomatic because the data is non-existent: the majority of print publications do not publish diversity data. Unlike print media, the nation’s broadcasters are bound by the Employment Equity Act. With varying degrees of transparency and consistency, they report their diversity efforts. Print media has been hesitant to tackle diversity despite there being ample evidence of its benefits. It would not infringe the free speech of the press to join the rest of the nation’s media in both making a profit and reflecting the nation it serves. There are countless studies showing the value of diversity. A 2015 study from McKinsey, a global consulting firm, found gender-diverse companies are 15 per cent more likely to financially outperform their competitors. For ethnically diverse companies it’s 35 per cent. There is a clear return on investment. For the most part, it seems universities are welcoming Ottawa’s demands. Selfregulation has only gotten them so far, and it’s not far at all. The academy and the press are valuable members of our society and democracy. While universities have made steps towards diversity, they can’t do it alone. The same is true for print media. Hfx No. 459939 PLAINTIFF

Malts for mom: Time to close Whisky Gap For whisky companies, Father’s Day is Second Christmas. Sales teams position their fancy single malt or smooth blend as the must-have gift for dad. Meanwhile, mom gets a DustBuster. That’s just not fair. It’s time to close the Whisky Gap. Here are four reasons why whisky is better than a vacuum for Mother’s Day gifting. torstar news service

Every palate can be trained

Men and women have, essentially, the same physiological taste mechanisms. Most taste scientists agree that experience matters more than biology: if you can teach yourself to like bitter greens, you can learn to like just about anything. Few Spirits all feature different images from the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair.

Hold the girly drinks nonsense

Although the spirits and cocktail world is often divided into girly drinks and manly ones, there’s no earthly reason for it. Men can metabolize more alcohol than women, not different types. There’s no more alcohol in brown spirits than there is in vodka or gin. And a five-ounce glass of Pinot Grigio contains the same amount of alcohol as a one-ounce pour of liquor. Gooderham & Worts is a tribute to the whisky once made at Toronto’s legendary distillery, which was once the largest in the world.

Moms already spend on malts

Sales statistics suggest that more than a third of whisky consumers are women, maybe even two-fifths. So, there’s a pretty decent chance that mom is already a part of the whiskydrinking demographic but has to buy her own, while dad gets bottles for free. That’s just like being charged more for dry cleaning or haircuts. Toki, from Japan’s House of Suntory, is delicious goodness.

Subverting the lazy sales pitches

Whisky for men and vodka martinis for women is totally arbitrary, like the way books at the airport are divided into shelves with pink covers decorated with cakes and shoes versus all the serious, hardcover black-and-gold business books. Whenever we have a chance to subvert that kind of nonsense, we should. The Dalmore 12 is sweet deliciousness.

Winnie the Peg STORY

The willy nilly silly old bear was actually named for Winnipeg Sean Plummer A.A. Milne may have been English, but his creation, Winnie the Pooh, has roots in Canada. Milne based the honey-loving bear on his son Christopher Robin’s stuffed teddy, which the boy named Winnie after seeing a female black

bear with that name at the London Zoo. The zoo’s Winnie was on loan from Captain Harry Colebourne, a member of the 2nd Canadian Infantry Brigade. Colebourne had bought the bear as a cub during his brigade’s stop in White River, Ontario, for $20 from a hunter who had killed her mother (the Brigade was on its way from Winnipeg to fight in World War I). He named her Winnipeg, after Colebourne’s hometown. Winnie, for short, subsequently became the brigade’s mascot, and they took her to England with them.

A quirky new subcompact crossover review

Smaller than a RAV4, Toyota’s new CUV looks like a Scion

Road teste

handout

the checklist | 2018 Toyota C-HR LOVE IT • Plenty of passenger space • Surprising driving dynamics • Standard active safety features

THE BASICS Engine: 2.0-litre four-cylinder Output: 144 horsepower, 139 pound-feet of torque Transmission: Continuouslyvariable automatic Fuel Economy (L/100 km): 8.7 city, 7.5 highway, 8.2 combined Price: Starts at $24,690

LEAVE IT • No available all-wheel drive • Tiny cargo compartment • Limited infotainment features

It’s hard to believe, considering the automaker practically pioneered the segment, that Toyota waited this long to introduce something smaller than its RAV4. More surprising still, the 2018 Toyota C-HR wasn’t even planned as a Toyota and was supposed to hit the North American market bearing a Scion badge. However, that brand’s demise opened the door to a tiny Toyota ready to take on the likes of the Nissan Juke and Honda HR-V. That the C-HR was initially intended to be Scion’s first crossover is useful in explaining its looks, which are polarizing to say the least. The C-HR’s slight exterior proportions don’t, however, result in a cramped cabin. The vast majority of space has been dedicated to the passenger area. However, the C-HR comes up short in the cargo compartment, with only 538 litres of space with the rear seats upright. Underpinning the C-HR is a variation of the architecture that is shared by the likes of the current Prius and the upcoming redesigned Camry. With plenty of torsional rigidity and a low center of gravity, the C-HR features a taut chassis that is atypical of a crossover. Add in wheels that

sit about as close to the corners as possible and actual steering feel and feedback, and the C-HR is a nimble package. Adding to the enjoyment is the suspension setup. The subcompact crossover does well to absorb bumps and road imperfections. Dampers at all four corners reduce rebound rates. Considering how engaging and enjoyable the C-HR can be on a twisty road, the engine propelling the C-HR is an underwhelming one. Given the way the C-HR tackles turns a torquey turbo engine would enhance the crossover’s otherwise impressive performance. Also somewhat disappointing is the crossover’s official fuel economy ratings. With only two trims available — XLE and XLE Premium — the subcompact crossover starts at $24,690 and comes with a great suite of standard safety features, including adaptive cruise control and autonomous emergency braking. Also along for the ride is a dual-zone automatic climate control system and backup camera, and a standard seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system. Smartphone interfacing systems Apple CarPlay and Android Auto aren’t included just yet. The infotainment system also lacks satellite radio, though Bluetooth audio streaming is built in. The Premium trim brings the price to $26,290, and adds a few features, including 18-inch alloy wheels, blind spot monitoring and Smart Key with pushbutton start, to round out the Scion-esque trim walk. Add it all up and the C-HR looks like a solid entry in a field that will become increasingly crowded in the coming years.

All crossovers are SUVs, but not all SUVs are crossovers Sami Haj-Assaad

AutoGuide.com What exactly is a crossover, Crossover Utility Vehicle or CUV? It may seem like a silly question, but it’s one we get a lot. Crossovers have evolved from old-school sport utility vehicles. It’s about platforms — SUVs typically use a body-on-frame platform, most common in pickup trucks, while crossovers use a unibody that’s shared with cars. Automakers have been using body-on-frame construction for a

long time by using a chassis that typically contains the drivetrain, and then mounting the body on top of that. But body-on-frame vehicles are heavy and anyone who’s driven a truck can attest to their limited handling capabilities. Furthermore, that added weight means SUVs aren’t very fuel efficient. As a result, automakers have started making SUV-like vehicles with car platforms and engines, which are more fuel friendly and easier to handle. It’s a practical design that combines the advantages of sedans or hatchbacks as well as the size and some

capabilities of the SUV. These are frequently called crossovers. But a new harmonization strategy means that defining a crossover by its platform isn’t necessarily accurate. Automakers have developed lightweight, modular architectures that are being used for a wide variety of vehicle types from compact hatchbacks to sedans to crossovers. The term SUV has grown colloquially to encompass all larger high-riding vehicles including crossovers, because there aren’t many body-on-frame SUVs left. Naming basically comes down to marketing.

The 2017 Honda CR-V is based on the same unibody platform as the Civic. handout

Alves set up Mario Mandzukic’s opener in the 33rd minute and got on the scoresheet himself on the stroke of halftime with a fantastic volley as Juventus swept to a 4-1 victory on aggregate. It was a fantastic performance from the 34-year-old wing back, who many described as

During the regular season, Edmonton Oilers centre Connor McDavid expressed his displeasure for being pulled from a game by a spotter after his chin hit the ice, and goaltenders Mike Smith and Henrik Lundqvist criticized the system they consider flawed.

It’s all in The Stars Your daily horoscope by Francis Drake Aries March 21 - April 20 Issues regarding money, cash flow and earnings might come to a head today. Likewise, discussions about an inheritance or shared property also might be difficult. Fortunately, these matters will be resolved quickly.

Cancer June 22 - July 23 Parents must be patient with their kids today if they want to avoid hissy fits and meltdowns. Likewise, romantic partners will have difficulty with each other. That’s because this is a Full Moon day.

Taurus April 21 - May 21 Today the only Full Moon that is opposite your sign all year is taking place. This will produce tension between you and partners and close friends. Have patience.

Leo July 24 - Aug. 23 Some Full Moons are easier than others. This is not one of them. You might feel pulled between the demands of home and family versus the demands of your career.

Gemini May 22 - June 21 Be patient with co-workers today, because everyone can feel the energy of today’s Full Moon. This makes people overreact and be too emotional.

Virgo Aug. 24 - Sept. 23 Pay attention to what you say and do because this is an accident-prone day for you. An accident could be caused by your own emotional distractions.

Libra Sept. 24 - Oct. 23 Keep an eye on your money and your possessions today, because something might create problems for you. This is a Full Moon day. Forewarned is forearmed.

Capricorn Dec. 22 - Jan. 20 Be tactful and diplomatic in order to avoid difficulties with friends and members of groups today. People are on edge because of the Full Moon energy.

Scorpio Oct. 24 - Nov. 22 Today the only Full Moon in your sign all year is taking place. Quite likely, this will create stress between you and others. Stay chill.

Aquarius Jan. 21 - Feb. 19 Avoid arguments with bosses and parents today, especially female authority figures. This is a particularly challenging Full Moon for your sign.

Sagittarius Nov. 23 - Dec. 21 You might feel unhappy about something going on behind the scenes, but you feel you cannot speak out. This means you’re doing a slow boil. This feeling will be gone in 24 hours. (Whew!)

Pisces Feb. 20 - March 20 Be wise and avoid controversial subjects today — including politics, religion and racial issues — because people are emotionally upset and overheated today. It’s a Full Moon, and it’s a tough one.
