Man who exploited teen sentenced to 11 years in prison

Erik Pindera 4 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

A man who picked up a vulnerable 17-year-old child-welfare ward on the streets of Winnipeg and coerced her into providing sexual services for several months has been sent to prison for more than a decade.

After a trial, Hassan Kargbo, who’s in his early 30s, was found guilty of sexual exploitation, making child sexual abuse and exploitation material, receiving a material benefit from sexual services provided by a person under 18, procuring a person under 18 and advertising sexual services.

Provincial court Judge Julie Frederickson sentenced him to 11 years behind bars late last month.

“Mr. Kargbo picked up a young Indigenous girl walking over the Osborne Street bridge and quickly got her involved in drug use and escorting,” Frederickson said in a written decision.

Three Manitoba nurses censured for inappropriate behaviour

A Manitoba nurse has been disciplined for inappropriate behaviour towards students including what is being described as unwanted touching.

Botched execution revives death penalty debate

Arthur Chapman 5 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

The United States of America’s seemingly endless, often futile, search for the painless, bloodless method of executing prisoners continues. The latest horrifying chapter occurred in Tennessee on Sept. 30, when the state tried to kill convicted murderer Christa Pike by lethal injection.

It didn’t work. Pike survived two dosages of pentobarbital. She was rushed to a hospital where, according to her lawyer, she was receiving “lifesaving care”.

Tennessee governor Bill Lee has cancelled upcoming executions, but he isn’t moving away from capital punishment.

Lee said, as quoted in the New York Times: “The people of Tennessee have determined that capital punishment is the appropriate sentence for the most heinous of crimes. The people of Tennessee expect those sentences to be carried out in a manner that’s not only legal and constitutional but effective, and that didn’t happen.”

‘Amazing honour’: Winnipeg distribution centre continues award-winning ways for McKesson Canada

Aaron Epp 5 minute read Yesterday at 6:00 AM CDT

After a three-year absence, the trophy is back in Winnipeg.

Last week, McKesson Canada named its 120,000-square-foot pharmaceutical distribution centre in the northwest part of the Manitoba capital its Distribution Centre of the Year. The award recognizes the facility’s role in helping essential medications reach communities across the province and some of Canada’s remote regions.

This is the fourth time the Winnipeg facility has earned the company-wide award since it opened five years ago. McKesson previously honoured the centre in 2021, 2022 and 2023. The recognition comes with a trophy, as well as a banner that was hung from the rafters on Thursday.

More than 100 employees work across the centre’s day-and-night operations, processing between 80,000 and 100,000 medication units daily. Last year, the centre distributed more than 21 million medication units while maintaining more than 99 per cent accuracy.
