Nygard accusers ‘vindicated’ with guilty verdict
4 minute read 4:05 PM CSTSerena Hickes felt an overwhelming rush of relief when she learned a Toronto jury had found Peter Nygard guilty of four counts of sexual assault Sunday morning.
“I am so happy for them and their families. I am not saying it takes away the pain — it doesn’t — but I am a survivor for all. If somebody is getting that, and they are finding the peace and justice in that, then I am overjoyed,” said Hickes, a Winnipeg woman who is one of dozens of people who have accused the disgraced fashion mogul of sexual crimes.
Speaking by phone moments after learning the verdict, Hickes described the significance of the decision, saying it vindicates victims who have spoken against Nygard for decades.
“I knew my truth, but there are people who need to hear guilty. I am just so happy because there are a lot of women, there are a lot of families out there, and they bloody needed this,” she said.

Montreal Jewish school hit by gunshots, police say
2 minute read Updated: 12:54 PM CSTMontreal politicians have condemned what seems to be the latest violent event in the city in connection with the war between Israel and Hamas.
Mayor Valérie Plante said Sunday police are investigating after a Jewish school was hit by gunshots, one of two schools that were also targetted in overnight shootings just three days earlier.
The early-morning incident at the Yeshiva Gedola school appears to be the latest in a string of hateful acts in the city, with Montreal police investigating two firebombings earlier this week that caused minor damage to a synagogue and an office belonging to Jewish advocacy group Federation CJA.
Plante called the latest act "odious" and said she stands by Montreal's Jewish community, which she said is under attack.

2 minute read Updated: 9:32 AM CSTLUCKNOW, India (AP) — Part of an under-construction road tunnel in a mountainous north Indian state popular with tourists collapsed after a landslide Sunday, trapping more than 30 workers, officials said.
Rescue work is in progress and oxygen is being pumped through a pipe into the collapsed section of the tunnel to help workers breathe, said Manohar Tamta, an Uttarakhand state relief official.
"It will take some time to bring them out," Tamta said.
The workers have sent out signals indicating that they are safe," the Press Trust of India news agency cited a state government official as saying.

6 minute read Preview Friday, Nov. 10, 2023Paramedic’s testimony contradicts police account at inquest
5 minute read Friday, Nov. 10, 2023Winnipeg firefighter-paramedic Jeffrey Peters told an inquest Friday a Winnipeg police officer had a knee on Michael Bagot’s back, as the man lay handcuffed beside a transit bus.
Police officers who testified at the inquest a day earlier indicated that such a restraint, a knee on Bagot's body, was not used at that time – after the distressed man had been handcuffed, put in a fabric leg restraint and carried off the bus by officers. Bagot stopped breathing during the incident and died three days later, on May 24, 2019.
Winnipeg police officers, who testified Thursday, said they used their hands to prevent Bagot from moving outside the bus, all while he was yelling incoherently and struggling, on and off, up until firefighters arrived, when he became unresponsive.
In its fourth day, the ongoing inquest is examining the circumstances of Bagot and four other men’s deaths – each following an altercation with the Winnipeg Police Service over a roughly 12-month period in 2018 and 2019. Peters was the first non-police witness to testify, either in the Bagot case, or, earlier this week, into the death of Patrick Gagnon.
