“Matthew Hines didn’t have to die,”report Karissa Donkin and Joan Weeks, who have been doing excellent work and follow-through on this story for the CBC:
这就是加拿大监狱监狱看的报告的结论，他发现新不伦瑞克的Dorchester Penitentiary的工作人员被忽视，因为他在精神病患者中忽略了魔害者的帮助。
Hines was beaten and repeatedly pepper sprayed by guards, force that correctional investigator Ivan Zinger deemed unnecessary and inappropriate.
在他去世后，加拿大惩教服务命令血液陷入困境，“妥协保护潜在的犯罪现场”。
Donkin和周的报告包括只有只能被监狱卫兵被描述为Hines酷刑的可怕细节。

展开在纽芬兰的政治丑闻nd Labrador related to the Muskrat Falls hydro project. It involves Bern Coffey, who was the province’s top civil servant and right-hand man to Premier Dwight Ball. Coffey was forced to resign Sunday night.
After days of controversy, Bern Coffey has stepped down from his position of Chief of the Executive Council. The move came after a flurry of criticism was aimed at both Coffey and the government when the public learned that Coffey was representing a client who was suing Nalcor through his private law practice.
据称，咖啡委员会在去年9月任命的时候达成协议，这将使他能够在其实践中完成任何现有案件，但他不会接受任何新的案件。在他对Coffey的辩护中，Premier Ball说，这项工作正在努力完成了Coffey的个人时间，并且他相信他将继续代表人民努力工作。它可能是一项公平的安排，除了咖啡的客户是起诉纳尔科尔的事实，以及通过延伸，政府。尽管Coffey声称，“中国墙”已经建立起来，以确保没有利益冲突，但全部局势已经被公众呈负面影响。
纳尔科尔is the provincial crown corporation established to construct and operate the Muskrat Falls dam. It is by far the largest public works project in Newfoundland and Labrador; that province is contractually obligated to deliver 20 per cent of the power generated to Emera, the parent company of Nova Scotia Power. The deal is the foundation of this province’s requirement that 40 per cent of all electricity used in Nova Scotia be generated by renewable sources by 2020.
回到纽芬兰和拉布拉多，the CBC reportsthat Coffey, as lawyer, also “represents a surgeon who has sued Western Health. That court action alleges abuse of power, and seeks damages. It was filed the same day Coffey accepted the job as top civil servant last September.”

昨天，Dalhousie总统Richard Florizone宣布福特Doolittle赢得了加拿大艺术委员会自然科学的基础奖。Killam奖奖励Doolittle以100,000美元的支票检查“杰出职业成就”。
doolittle是一个分子生物学家;我在2009年为海岸的文章中阐述了他，“Doolittle, Darwin and the Deeply Dumb.”
I find Doolittle’s latest work, in which he hopes to reconceptualize evolution, fascinating. I want somehow to find the time to do some pop science journalism about it.

1. The $390 million highway dodge
Two of the highways that will get twinned within the next seven years, if Nova Scotia’s government announcement is to be trusted.
“The idea that, after the past several years of fiscal belt-tightening, we should accept as reasonable the doubling our planned highway investment is absurd,” writes Examiner transportation columnist Erica Butler.

Appeals Committee(10:30am, City Hall) — there are two taxi drivers appealing denials of their taxi driver’s licences.
第一个是哈尔文科尔，他在2016年8月撤销他的出租车牌照，后哈利法克斯警方向他签订了未登记的车辆，没有保险，并驾驶撤销驾驶执照。根据a report filed with the committee by HRM staffer Kevin Hindle, the city’s licensing authority:
also discovered:
•答案中的车辆COLE先生运营是一艘未经许可的出租车，展示欺诈性修改的出租车许可证贴纸＃D338，其实际上于2015年10月21日到期。
• Mr. Cole also failed to notify the Licensing Authority or surrender his taxi driver license to the Licensing Authority upon the revocation of his NS driver license on December 14, 2015, in accordance with Section 47.4 of By-law T-1000.
Cole’s taxi driver licence was revoked by the city on August 12, 2016.
But as reported by Hindle, Cole compounded his problems:
2017年2月22日，科尔先生为HRM出租车司机许可证申请。该申请包括法定声明......审查文件时，它决定包含虚假信息。询问过去三年中任何收费或信念申请人是否回答了“不”的具体问题。
After further review of Mr. Cole’s application, it was identified that the NS Driver Abstract contained numerous suspensions.
The second driver appealing the denial of his taxi driver’s licence application isDoug Brine.
Brine applied for a taxi driver’s licence on February 28, 2017, but a criminal record check found that he had multiple convictions, including “Violation of undertaking by officer in charge” (August 2015); failure to comply with probation order (November 2015); and then multiple convictions for what appear to be one incident in April 2016 — one count for assault with a weapon, two counts of uttering threats to cause bodily harm or death, one count of possessing a weapon, and two counts of failure to comply with a recognizance order.

Christina MacDonald’s Court Watch analysis is *always* interesting and a great addition to the Examiner.
谋杀囚犯，然后掩饰。加拿大的发言人加拿大撤销公共关系废话手册，并写下股票声明“CSC认真对待每一次死亡。”是的，足以撒谎，掩盖证据逃脱它。
It is very interesting that today’s offering from the Halifax Examiner includes a story of a man sentenced to 4 years in jail for destroying evidence of a murder, and the story of Corrections Canada destroying evidence of a murder.
