A new tool developed at Western University is working to analyze case law on hate crimes, helping to aid in the reporting and prosecution of these crimes. Hate crimes are when a criminal offense is committed against a person or property that is motivated at least in part by bias, prejudice or hatred. A variety of factors can be considered when a person is the target of a hate crime, including race, religion, sexual identity, and more. This tool helps compile more than 15 years of case law in which judges have considered a subsection of the Canadian Criminal Code which requires judges to consider harsher penalties for hate crimes. Fourteen factors are identified by the tool which serve as hate crime indicators. This can include anything from whether derogatory language was used, to whether the location targeted was known to be frequented by a persecuted group – such as a place of worship. The implementation of this tool could inform not only the legal process, but also the training of lawyers and police. “This case law points to the significant negative impact of hate crimes on individuals and entire communities,” said Sunil Gurmukh, law professor and law’s assistant dean. “Determining whether a crime is motivated by bias, prejudice or hate can be difficult for police and Crown prosecutors alike, so it’s important to have a legal resource to help them do that.” The tool was developed in partnership with the Canadian Race Relations Foundation (CRRF). Not only is the tool one that could serve the legal system, but its development has helped inform the next generation of lawyers through it’s association with Western. “It really struck me that it wasn’t one specific group being targeted in these cases. There were a wide range of people from all kinds of backgrounds experiencing hate,” said law student Mona Soliman. “Reading these cases was really difficult, but it was important to me to contribute to a tool that helps increase access to justice.” Shopping Trends The Shopping Trends team is independent of the journalists at CTV News.

Rumors circulated on social media of students coming home sick after finding bugs in their spaghetti. However, District 149 Superintendent Maureen White said Thursday she received no reports of children falling ill and the single mealworm found on the table did not come from the kitchen. “There was absolutely no mealworm in the food or in the food supply, and not even where the food is prepared,” White said. “It was a hoax.” White said students told her the mealworm was brought to the table as part of a social media challenge. However, she said the district took “precautionary measures” to sanitize the cabinets where food trays are stored and clean tables more frequently. “We’re just doing an extra clean to assure that there are no bugs of any kind getting on the table,” White said.

After Black Friday and Cyber Monday, GivingTuesday celebrates giving and is critical for charities experiencing heightened demand for essential services TORONTO, Nov. 27, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Spokespersons from CanadaHelps , co-founders of GivingTuesday Canada and Canada's largest online donation and fundraising platform, are available for media interviews to discuss GivingTuesday, which takes place this year on December 3rd. As many Canadians continue to struggle under financial pressure and are turning to charities to meet essential needs, CanadaHelps is highlighting how communities can unite this giving season by engaging in generosity. As the world's largest generosity movement, GivingTuesday celebrates and encourages all forms of giving, including donating, volunteering, performing acts of kindness, and more. More than $13.6 million was donated within 24 hours via CanadaHelps.org to support registered charities on GivingTuesday in 2023. This year, the organization is aiming to surpass last year's total. The holiday season is a critical fundraising time for charities with approximately 40% of annual donations being made in the final two months of the year on CanadaHelps.org. The generosity shown on GivingTuesday and throughout the rest of the year sustains the vital work of charities year-round. Spokespersons from CanadaHelps can discuss the following topics leading up to and on GivingTuesday: Demand For Charitable Services Generosity is especially critical given the record-breaking use of food banks reported across the country as Canadians struggle under financial pressures and turn to charities for daily essentials including food and shelter. Spokespeople can speak to findings from a recent Ipsos poll conducted for CanadaHelps with insights on Canadians turning to charities for support, including: Spokespeople can highlight a variety of easy ways Canadians can participate in GivingTuesday, including donating to a favourite charity or cause, volunteering, fundraising, setting up a monthly donation, purchasing Charity Gift Cards (as holiday season gifts and stocking stuffers), performing acts of kindness, and so much more. Impact of Canada Post Strike on Charities Like so many small businesses that rely on postal service to deliver packages, many charities rely on direct mail which represents a critical portion of their annual revenue. With the Canada Post strike, many charities are concerned that they will be forgotten among supporters who would normally mail in a cheque at the end of the year. Spokespeople can speak to the impact of the labour dispute on Canada's charitable sector, can share examples of charities in select cities that are affected, and offer alternatives to traditional mail for giving. Challenges Facing Arts and Culture Charities While the arts and culture sector provides significant personal and cultural benefits to Canadians, according to new Ipsos polling conducted for CanadaHelps , only 6% of the population says they prioritize arts and culture charities as important causes they support. Spokespeople can speak to the unique benefits of arts and culture organizations in uniting people, some of the challenges facing these charities, and highlight examples of the impact of specific arts charities in communities across Canada. Holiday Gifts that Make an Impact As Canadians search for the perfect gift to give this holiday season, spokespeople can discuss the variety of giving options for all budgets that can make a vital impact on charities and the communities that rely on them. Engaging Kids in Giving Spokespeople can speak to creative ways that parents can use GivingTuesday to engage children in giving while also learning about specific causes of interest and impact. Companies Leveraging GivingTuesday to Support Charities Companies across the country are embracing GivingTuesday as a way to make a positive impact. Spokespeople can highlight how businesses are supporting charities, how it benefits their organizations, and provide examples of how select companies are supporting this day of generosity. Financial Ways to Give Strategically Spokespeople can speak to strategic ways of giving and using charitable tax benefits to receive up to 49% of their contribution back as a tax credit. They can also discuss how monthly donations and donations of securities are strategic ways to give and how these methods grew 11% and 32% respectively on CanadaHelps in 2023 compared to the prior year. Top Causes and Giving Trends For 11 consecutive years, fewer Canadians have been engaging in charitable giving. Canada Revenue Agency tax filer data shows donation rates declined from 23.4 percent in 2010 to 17.7 percent in 2021 (among those Canadians claiming tax receipts). Spokespeople can speak to popular causes Canadians are supporting, ways Canadians are giving, and how we can reverse declines in the number of Canadians who give. Uniting Communities Through Generosity Canadians are increasingly disconnected and have shrinking social networks, which is correlated with lower rates of giving. Recent global data also highlighted how Canada is the second most polarized nation when it comes to giving, only behind Great Britain.* Spokespeople are available to speak to these trends and how generosity can unite communities this holiday season. The Impact and History of GivingTuesday GivingTuesday has global roots and has made a local impact. Launched in 2012 in the United States as a response to Black Friday and Cyber Monday and brought to Canada in 2013 by CanadaHelps, GivingTuesday is now celebrated in more than 90 countries. In Canada, an estimated six million Canadians have participated in GivingTuesday.

The fast-food giant has reportedly earmarked $100 million for recovery efforts, including marketing and franchisee support to address the fallout. Don't Miss: It’s no wonder Jeff Bezos holds over $70 million in art — this alternative asset has outperformed the S&P 500 by a significant margin delivering an average annual return of 11.5%. Here’s how many are getting started. The global games market is projected to generate $272B by the end of the year — for $0.55/share, this VC-backed startup with a 7M+ userbase gives investors easy access to this asset market. The outbreak infected more than 100 people across 14 states, hospitalized 34 and tragically claimed one life, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The CDC traced the source to a supplier that has since recalled the product, Business Insider reported. Still, McDonald's is feeling the heat. The company acknowledged the toll in its third-quarter earnings report, which revealed a decline in-store visits and daily sales as cautious customers stayed away. McDonald’s stock has dropped over 7% in the past month. The crisis has had a broad impact on business. Trending: Deloitte's fastest-growing software company partners with Amazon, Walmart & Target – You can still get 4,000 of its pre-IPO shares for with $1,000 for just $0.25/share To regain customer trust, McDonald's is spending $35 million on marketing campaigns, including a new TV ad promoting a limited-time offer of 10 Chicken McNuggets for just $1 via the McDonald’s app. The campaign aims to draw customers back with deals that highlight familiar favorites. An additional $65 million is being directed to support the franchisees hit hardest by the outbreak. These funds will cover operational losses and other costs as local operators work to recover from the health scare’s effects on traffic and sales. Michael Gonda, McDonald’s Chief Impact Officer for North America and Tariq Hassan, Chief Marketing and Customer Experience Officer, addressed the crisis head-on in a memo seen by CNN. “The relevance, trust and love for the Golden Arches has been hard-earned over nearly 70 years by our unwavering commitment to do the right thing,” they wrote. “The past three weeks have only further exemplified that.” See Also: This rooftop wind turbine is taking on a market projected to reach over $900 billion by 2032 — With already over 40,000 users signing up to purchase, here's a chance to be an early investor today! The fallout has demonstrated the importance of food safety and customer loyalty in maintaining McDonald's iconic brand. As the company works to restore confidence, the memo clarifies that rebuilding “trust and love” is a top priority. While the company's recovery plan is strong, the future remains uncertain. Analysts and investors will watch closely to see whether McDonald's can successfully rebound from the crisis and reignite customer enthusiasm. The Golden Arches are betting on turning a tough situation into an opportunity to show resilience and commitment to its customers.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Former Temple basketball standout Hysier Miller sat for a long interview with the NCAA as it looked into concerns about unusual gambling activity, his lawyer said Friday amid reports a federal probe is now under way. “Hysier Miller fully cooperated with the NCAA’s investigation. He sat for a five-hour interview and answered every question the NCAA asked. He also produced every document the NCAA requested,” lawyer Jason Bologna said in a statement. “Hysier did these things because he wanted to play basketball this season, and he is devastated that he cannot.” Miller, a three-year starter from South Philadelphia, transferred to Virginia Tech this spring. However, the Hokies released him last month due to what the program called “circumstances prior to his enrollment at Virginia Tech.” Bologna declined to confirm that a federal investigation had been opened, as did spokespeople for both the FBI and the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Philadelphia. ESPN, citing unnamed sources, reported Thursday that authorities were investigating whether Miller bet on games he played in at Temple, and whether he adjusted his performance accordingly. “Hysier Miller has overcome more adversity in his 22 years than most people face in their lifetime. He will meet and overcome whatever obstacles lay ahead," Bologna said. Miller scored eight points — about half his season average of 15.9 — in a 100-72 loss to UAB on March 7 that was later flagged for unusual betting activity. Temple said it has been aware of those allegations since they became public in March, and has been cooperative. “We have been fully responsive and cooperative with the NCAA since the moment we learned of the investigation,” Temple President John Fry said in a letter Thursday to the school community. However, Fry said Temple had not received any requests for information from state or federal law enforcement agencies. He vowed to cooperate fully if they did. “Coaches, student-athletes and staff members receive mandatory training on NCAA rules and regulations, including prohibitions on involvement in sports wagering," Fry said in the letter. The same week the Temple-UAB game raised concerns, Loyola (Maryland) said it had removed a person from its basketball program after it became aware of a gambling violation. Temple played UAB again on March 17, losing 85-69 in the finals of the American Athletic Conference Tournament. League spokesman Tom Fenstermaker also declined comment on Friday.
