ESCAPING THE TRAP:

COMING UP WITH A CO-ORdINATEd STRATEGy TO COMBAT HUMAN TRAFFICKING miKE ADLER AnD fAnniE sunshinE newsroom@insidetoronto.com The young man stands before the judge, barely crossing the age threshold of being tried in adult court.

Charges against him are lengthy and grim: a snippet includes forcible confinement, uttering threats, sexual assault, and human trafficking.

Police know the human trafficking charge will be the hardest one to land a conviction on, mainly due to the victim’s unwillingness to testify or memory lapses, and will often take pleas for lesser offences.

The total number of human trafficking convictions in Toronto since 2014 now stands at nine; in the first week of July alone, Toronto police arrested seven men within a four-day

span on human trafficking charges, one case involving a victim as young as 14.

And one York Region cop has no problem dropping human trafficking charges if it means pimps will land in jail.

“It doesn’t mean they all walk, they all got away,” said Det. Sgt. Thai Truong, adding as a police officer, as long as the accused is found guilty for what he’s done >>>human, page 3

Pokémon Go players try to ‘catch ’em all’ More than 1,000 attend official Canadian launch party at the base of the CN Tower KELsEY ChEnG kcheng@insidetoronto.com Marina De La Peña remembers playing and watching Pokémon when she was little. Now at the age of 20, she never thought she’d be meeting over a thousand people that shared a collective memory of Pokémon – at the same time.

“I g re w u p w i t h Pokémon – I ‘ve watched all of the anime and played most of the games,” said De La Peña, who gathered at the base of the CN Tower on Monday night with her brother Rodrigo and many other Pokémon Go players to celebrate the official release of the game in Canada. “I am so happy about this launch because I get to meet people who love what I love. It’s brilliant.”

The launch of the game was particularly special to De La Peña, who was inspired by

Pokémon to study animation at Max the Mutt college in Toronto from Mexico.

She said the augmented reality aspect is what draws her to the new game.

“Pokémon has always been about travelling,” she said.

“Now, you get to explore the city while playing the game and you get to meet new friends along the way. It’s a really positive experience.”

Fire destroys two homes, kills one cat in Leslieville JOANNA LAVOIE jlavoie@insidetoronto.com A smokey, two-alarm fire significantly damaged two homes in Leslieville in the early Tuesday morning hours.

The blaze is believed to have originated in the rear of a two-storey, detached house at 6 Alton Ave., which is near Queen Street East between Leslie Street and Greenwood Avenue.

“The back of the house was fully involved and it got into the roof,” said Toronto Fire District Chief Stephan Powell around noon Tuesday.

Powell said numerous 911 calls came in around 3 a.m. from people reporting the fire.

Although no people were hurt, one cat did die in the fire, which required upwards of 55 firefighters to extinguish.

“It took a little while to put out. There was heavy, black smoke,” he said.

Thir ty-year Hastings Avenue resident Ray Dhami said around 1 a.m. Tuesday morning he woke up to see his neighbour’s house to the east engulfed in flames.

“There was a lot of smoke and flames were just shooting out the back (of the house),” he told The Mirror Tuesday.

“I heard people yelling and screaming making sure no one was inside.”

As of late Tuesday morning, fire crews were still at the scene waiting for insurance adjustors to arrive.

An acrid smoke smell continued to permeate the air in the vicinity.

An official cause of the fire as well as the cost of the damages it incurred has yet to be determined. It is not yet know if the Ontario Fire Marshall

will be investigating this incident, which isn’t believed to be suspicious.

This is the second twoalarm fire in less than a week in Leslieville.

On July 14, two houses on Woodfield Road, between Dundas and Gerrard streets, also sustained serious damages as a result of a fire.

Toronto Fire Service indicated this fire is of “suspicious origin” and police from 55 Division are investigating.

Anyone with information should contact police at 416-808-5500, Crime Stoppers anonymously at 416-222-TIPS (8477), online at www.222tips.com, or text TOR and your message to CRIMES (274637).

FOR IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE

Human trafficking issue is ‘a provincial, national crisis’ >>>from page 1 police officer, as long as the accused is found guilty for what he’s done and justice is served, “I’m happy with that.”

The provincial government unveiled the long-awaited human trafficking strategy Thursday, June 30, which calls for an investment up to $72 million aimed at increasing awareness and coordination, enhancing justice-sector initiatives and improving survivors’ access to services. Currently, Ontario is grappling with roughly 65 per cent of police-reported human trafficking cases in Canada.

The strategy involves nine ministries and is based on four pillars: strong leadership through an anti-human trafficking office through CommSoc, which will collect and share information; increased awareness and community supports to help survivors heal; justice sector initiatives to identify trafficking earlier and hold traffickers to account; and indigenous-led approaches.

Det. Sgt. Nunzio Tramontozzi of Toronto Police Service’s human trafficking team called the strategy a great start, noting specialized Crowns are a police asset.

If Crowns don’t understand “trauma bonds” between the victim and pimp, it’s hard for them to wrap their mind around why a girl would protect a guy who brutalized her for years, he said, adding instead of forging ahead and

putting the victim on the stand, they tend to take pleas for lesser offences.

“As of last summer we only had one (human trafficking) conviction in Toronto,” he said. “One guy. It’s pretty sad.”

Ontario’s Attorney General Yasir Naqvi, who was on hand for the strategy’s release, called human trafficking an increasing, complex problem.

A specialized team of Crown attorneys will ensure cases are prosecuted effectively and consistently across province, he said, adding expanded quick response programs will be in place to help victims, including paying for things such as travel costs, identification replacement, and enhancing 24-hour crisis assistance.

But not everyone was pleased with the strategy.

Haliburton-Kawartha Lakes-Brock MPP Laurie Scott, who put forward a private member’s bill Saving the Girl Next Door, which calls for victims to obtain restraining orders against their trafficker and sue them for damages, said while the strategy is a step in the right direction, it ultimately falls short.

The Conservative MPP took issue with the lack of permanent multiyear funding and firm deadlines for establishing a multi-jurisdictional and multi-disciplinary task force.

In an interview with Metroland

Media Toronto prior to the strategy’s release, she said the province needs to take the lead in human trafficking enforcement.

“It’s modern day slavery,” she said.

“Will all survivors sue? No, but it’s a means of justice.”

Michelle Smith, executive director of Women’s Support Network of York Region in Newmarket, which runs a human trafficking help line, called the issue a “provincial and national crisis.”

She hoped the strategy would include long-term core funding, along with people specialized in human trafficking and infrastructure for couselling.

Trafficked women sometimes require “eight, nine, 10-hour care”, with psychological and emotional trauma the most pervasive aspect.

“We have women that are servicing eight to 10 men a day, against their will,” she said.

Besides a strategy, greater emphasis on social media literacy must be taught in schools to help combat human trafficking, said Debbie Gordon, director of kidsmediacentre at Centennial College.

Being able to share case studies about other young victims works, but voices of young people who question the sensibilities of the social media culture need to be heard, she said.

“Kids will listen when it’s one of their own.”

Like the York Regional Police campaign ‘The Other Side’ that is helping victims hurt in the sex trade find a way out, there are other people and organizations offering assistance to survivors of human trafficking in the Greater Toronto Area.

Laws to stop texting and walking would fall on deaf ears

I

n hastily-snatched hindsight, it’s fair to say that last week probably wasn’t the best time for Toronto Council to vote to ban texting while walking.

The same time as councillors supported a motion

by York South-Weston Councillor Frances Nunziata to ask the province to change the Highway Traffic Act making it illegal to text and otherwise distract yourself while walking, Torontonians were downloading the walking, distracted gaming app Pokemon Go to their smartphones.

The provincial government, no doubt sensing trouble, made it clear that Toronto can make an antitexting bylaw if it likes, but really, should Toronto enact such a bylaw, compliance will be, to put it mildly, an issue.

It’s not to say that pedestrians Our VieW shouldn’t take some responsibility for their own safety, or that Council fail by Toronto streets aren’t safer when not speeding everybody has their eyes on the road. up plan But really: it doesn’t take a trending gaming app to tempt reasonable adults to check their smartphone for texts, emails or just to make a change to the music they’re listening to, as they move around the city. And frankly, pedestrians aren’t the ones who are responsible for the genuinely deadly players on Toronto streets; the multi-ton motor vehicles that almost inevitably come out on top when collisions occur are.

Nunziata’s motion came as Toronto Council was considering a broader, $80-million plan to make Toronto’s roadways safer. To councillors’ credit, they unanimously supported that plan, and bolstered it beyond its original scope. So over the next five years, speed limits will be reduced on key roadways in the downtown and beyond, more signalized crossings will be installed and slow-speed zones around schools will be implemented.

All good – although it’s a shame that councillors didn’t support an amendment from another councillor, Kristyn Wong-Tam, to accelerate the so-called Vision from five years to two. That failure, and the scolding fingerwag of the amendment by Nunziata that council finally did support, inspires little confidence. While they were at it, they might have approved another bylaw – preventing dyspeptic amendments being passed late on the third day of summer council meetings, when legislators are clearly too tired to think straight. newsroom ph:

Council leaves behind subways, spending for summer reprieve A quiet has descended on Toronto City Hall in the wake of last week’s marathon July council meeting.

It seems almost peaceful.

Councillors won’t be getting together again to disrupt that peace until September rolls around – and it would be nice to think that when they and Mayor John Tory meet once more, it will remain in a spirit of peace, and reconciliation.

The debate over the Scarborough subway, after all, appears to be over.

Whatever one thinks of the one-stop subway extension to the Scarborough Town Centre (coming in now at $3.4 billion and probably a good deal more), council decided on its second day of meeting that it was fine with the plan, and the expense.

The fight, between critics like Josh Matlow and Gord Perks and boosters like Deputy Mayor Glenn De Baeremaeker and Tory himself, had been seismic until then.

david nickle the city When the vote finally came late in the day July 12, it wasn’t even all that close: just 16 councillors voted in favour of an amendment to scrap the subway plan and build light rail there instead, with 27 siding with Tory.

It might have been closer, but Tory’s team made a point of rewarding its allies. In addition to the Scarborough subway’s continued approval, council also approved studies for no less than three additional transit projects not on any list but the ones on certain local councillors’ election literature.

So in the coming months, we’ll hear about a westward extension of the Bloor-Danforth Line 2, from Kipling Station to Sherway Gardens (courtesy of Etobicoke Lakehsore Councillor Justin Di Ciano); a subway

connection between the Yonge-Sheppard interchange and Downsview Station (a long-held dream of York Centre Councillor James Pasternak); and a Sheppard subway extension from Don Mills Station to McCowan Road (championed by Scarborough Agincourt Councillor Jim Karygiannis).

The studies aren’t, of course, anything approaching a commitment, but they are the sort of thing that has a limited but real effect of papering over possible divisions – both on council and inter-regionally.

The Scarborough subway, now that it’s going ahead, is going to eat up a huge amount of money and resources. As we must remind ourselves, it is the only major transit project in the city’s long-term transit plan that is fully funded, and the only other one that’s even partially funded is also in Scarborough: the Eglinton Crosstown line that will actually service Scarborough neighbour-

hoods. The downtown relief line, which transit planners have noted is essential to stave off unacceptable levels of crowding on the Yonge line, is not funded, nor is light rail servicing the city’s waterfront.

And as was revealed this week, it will likely be more difficult than not to wrestle more money from the provincial government. Ontario’s Financial Accountability Office noted in a report released Tuesday that the province is in danger of over-extending itself on transit spending as matters stand, with an extra $50 billion in provincial debt in 2021 due to transit alone. So fulfilling those dreams – of subways, eventually, everywhere – will be a long shot. In the short run of these summer months, as pleasant and peaceable as these dreams are, dreams are all they are.

Pokemon Go helps take augmented reality to the next level

Players compete against each other at the ‘Battle for the CN Tower’

DAVID NICKLE dnickle@insidetoronto.com

>>>from page 1 hundreds of fans. Tanisha Grewal was one of the lucky ones to get a picture with the mascot.

“I’ve always been a huge Pokémon fan since I was two years old – I’ve watched all the anime series and played all the games,” she said. “I am so excited to see Pikachu here – it’s like my childhood dream came true.”

Matthew Cashman, 30, the organizer of the “meet-up” and co-founder of Legacy Gamers, a Toronto-based gaming events organization, created the event “on a whim,” and was surprised at the turnout. He thought it was a great way to celebrate an important game in many people’s childhood.

“I used to play Pokémon back in the day when it first came out, on my Game Boy black-and-white screen,” he said. “As a kid, I was pretty passionate about it.”

Developed by American software company Niantic, Inc., Pokémon Go operates very much like a fantasy Google Map. The game is set in augmented reality, where players physically walk to “capture” Pokémon. The game also includes PokéStops that are city attractions, historic sites and art instillations for players to collect extra PokéBalls, lures to attract Pokémon to the area, as well as other items.

Pokémon Gyms, located at various physical locations, are places where players

Even before it was available here this week, Nintendo’s augmented-reality phone game Pokemon Go was showing numbers to rival social-media giants like Twitter; filling parks and boulevards with giant mobs of like-minded players, hunting for virtual sprites in parks and boulevards, through the camera-lens of their smartphones.

As viral phenomenon go, Pokemon Go is near the top of the heap. But it may well signify something more significant than even that.

“It’s important not to underestimate how important this phenomenon is on different levels,” says Natalie Zina Walschotts, a Toronto-based game critic and designer who’s been playing and watching the game since it first emerged.

“Literally a third of the world is playing this game,” she says.

“More people are playing this game than anything else, and that’s important. The other thing that’s crucial is that it has already changed the discourse with which we move through the world.”

Moving through the world – and interacting with objects that are not in fact in the world – is a cornerstone of a suite of applications known as augmented reality (as opposed to virtual reality, which through devices like the Oculus Rift immerse users in a completely invented space).

Pokemon Go is not the first AR technology or application – several years ago, Google introduced an experimental device “Google Glass,” which projected images and text on a pair of camera-equipped eyeglasses – but Pokemon is the first to catch on. Given its success, it is not likely to be the last. Walschotts was immediately struck by the power of a game that takes the imaginary friends of childhood, and places them in a familiar environment.

“You are literally doing the thing you were pretending to do in a video game, and you are doing it in a real physical space,” she said.

And because it is a game – one shared by millions of other users – it is safe, in the way that Google Glass, with its cameras and potentially disturbing and voyeuristic applications, might not be. But make no mistake.

Augmented Reality will soon enough have numerous practical applications.

“Augmented Reality makes the invisible, visible,” says Toronto-based science fiction writer and strategic foresight expert Karl Schroeder. “It has the potential to be a kind of heads-up display showing us what’s going on around us in a much more live and detailed way than traditional news or word of mouth. Our phones already show us where the nearest restaurant or gas station is… Everything from dating to political activism can be supercharged by AR.”

Sarah Musso brings Pikachu along to the Pokémon Go players’ Canadian launch party at the CN Tower plaza on Monday evening.

become trainers and battle other Pokémon players on different teams.

The event is dubbed by Cashman as “The Battle for the CN Tower”, meaning players will compete against each other for Toronto’s most iconic Pokémon gym.

“It’s Canada’s icon as well – so I thought it would be the

best place to celebrate the launch of the game,” he said.

Jill Vienneau came to the event to accompany her son Jackson, but ended up installing the game on her phone as well. She became a level five Pokémon trainer in one day.

“I was skeptical at first,” she said. “But I must say, it’s been a lot of fun. You definitely get

sucked into the game.”

Chris Mackinnon, 28, came all the way from Etobicoke with his friends. He says Pokémon Go gave them a purpose to go outside.

“We’re all out here to live out our childhood dreams of becoming Pokémon trainers,” he said. “We have proven this game is better to play with friends and we’re so glad the game is out for everybody in Canada.”

However, Mackinnon admits the game poses a safety risk for people.

“I think the most dangerous thing is that you’ll end up in areas that you’re not familiar with,” he said.

Toronto police Const. David Hopkinson says safety plans are in place and police officers are on site to make sure everyone is able to have fun in a safe manner during the event. But more importantly, he advises the public to be in charge of their own safety and not get carried away when playing the game.

“The app does not account for your safety, as it does not take into consideration any traffic or trespassing onto private property,” he said.

“Be aware of your surroundings, and be aware of how it might affect those around you.

A Squirtle is not worth your safety.”
