Downtown councillor calls $280-million arena revitalization a ‘mining operation'
Developers behind the $280-million revitalization of Hamilton's downtown arena have long touted the project as a spark for an ailing core in desperate need of investment and attention. At a police board meeting last week, Coun. Cameron Kroetsch offered a different take. 'I look at this, to be honest and very frank, like a mining operation,' the downtown councillor said July 24 of the recently rebranded TD Coliseum . 'There's a central site where activities are going to be happening and that's going to generate revenue or profit. That's extractive in a way. When that happens and that profit is being realized, some of that's got to go back to the community.' Those comments were later labelled 'troubling' by Lou Frapporti, a leading advisor to Hamilton's arena redevelopment partner, who argued the elected representative for the core should be the project's 'biggest cheerleader.' Frapporti delegated to the police board last week on behalf of the Hamilton Urban Precinct Entertainment Group (HUPEG) about safety in the downtown ahead of the arena's reopening later this year. In 2021, HUPEG reached a long-term lease arrangement with the city to refurbish and operate Hamilton Arena, FirstOntario Concert Hall and the Hamilton Convention Centre in a deal officials said would save taxpayers $155 million over three decades. 'You will not be surprised to hear that the central preoccupation of the overwhelming majority of relevant stakeholders … has been safety and security,' Frapporti told the board, echoing long-expressed concerns from businesses about theft, vandalism, loitering and crime in the area. Frapporti said the downtown is changing — and the revamped arena is seen as a regional attraction that could bring more than one million unique visitors to the city per year. Many of them are coming soon, Frapporti added. General admission tickets for Paul McCartney on Nov. 21 — Hamilton is one of just two Canadian stops on the former Beatle's Got Back tour — sold out in about 15 minutes. 'There is a need for all of us to bring greater urgency to community conversations on strategies and adequate resourcing for the preservation of safety and security in the core on a long-term basis,' he said. Frapporti had already ended his delegation when Kroetsch likened the core redevelopment to a mining expedition. In an interview, Frapporti, a partner at a downtown law firm, called the comments 'bizarre' — especially as the city develops a 10-year strategy to address office vacancies, empty storefronts and diminished foot traffic downtown. Private investment from HUPEG and Oak View Group (OVG) — a global arena specialist leading the stadium redevelopment — add to those efforts, he said. 'The whole purpose of a city and an economy is to recruit people to make investments there and risk their capital to build businesses and hire people,' Frapporti said. 'It was troubling that our downtown councillor — who should be with us, desperately trying to get companies to come downtown and set up restaurants, retail stores and attractions of this type; our biggest cheerleader — is our biggest cynic,' he added. Kroestch told The Spectator he's not a cheerleader. 'I'm an elected official,' he said in an interview, 'and it's my job to look at the pros and cons of every project in the downtown and discuss both openly. Not simply run around and say, 'Here are all the positives and we can't look at the negative stuff.'' Asked if the community would be better off without the arena investments, Kroetsch said he isn't suggesting such. 'There's ticket sales, we have some big names coming to the city. People will of course benefit from the entertainment value — if they can afford to go. But what about everybody else?' he said. Kroetsch argued HUPEG and OVG aren't investing 'out of the kindness of their heart,' but 'to make a profit.' 'People have a right to do that in this world,' the councillor said. 'But we have to look after the community who lives here. … There are lots of upsides, but there are potential negative effects if we don't make sure we take care of the community. That's my main point.' Kroetsch pointed to Hamilton's light rail transit project as an example of another major project that requires special consideration for existing residents, such as tenants forced to leave their homes to make way for the rail development. 'We've seen gentrification before in Hamilton. (Developers) come into an area, make it more desirable, increase its value and push people out.' Of the ongoing downtown projects, like the arena, Kroetsch said: 'How does this shift from not just being about monetary wealth but also community wealth, so everybody benefits from the uplift? How do we uplift everybody downtown through projects like this?' Error! Sorry, there was an error processing your request. There was a problem with the recaptcha. Please try again.

Her Husband Began an Affair with His Best Friend's Widow — That's When She Began to Suspect Something Far Worse (Exclusive Clip)
Kathy Aldredge tells PEOPLE about the nearly two-decade investigation she helped spearhead into her close friend Mike Williams' mysterious death in 2000NEED TO KNOW ABC News Studios' latest true crime docuseries, Mr. and Mrs. Murder, begins streaming on Hulu July 30 The series looks into the mysterious death of Mike Williams on Dec. 16, 2000 Kathy Aldredge, one of Williams' close friends, helped crack the case and tells PEOPLE she believes "there's still some missing pieces" out there that could explain what really happenedKathy Aldredge felt vindicated in front of the camera, finally free to share the truth about a devious plot she quietly investigated — at times alongside police — for the better part of the last two decades. 'I feel a lot of satisfaction,' Aldredge tells PEOPLE. 'I've waited a long time to speak on this topic and speak about my experience, and so there's a lot of satisfaction in finishing the project.' Aldredge's tireless search for the truth about her close friend Mike Williams' mysterious 2000 death is at the center of ABC News Studios' upcoming true crime docuseries, Mr. and Mrs. Murder, which begins streaming on Hulu on July 30. (An exclusive clip is shown below.) The four-part series examines Williams' disappearance the weekend before he and his wife, Denise, were set to celebrate their wedding anniversary — and follows Aldredge's determined quest to uncover what really happened. The 31-year-old father went missing after setting out on his boat to go duck hunting on the morning of Dec. 16, 2000, on Florida's Lake Seminole. He never returned, leading police to later theorize he had been eaten by an alligator. But Aldredge grew suspicious after her husband, Brian Winchester, began having an affair with Denise — his best friend's widow. She and Winchester eventually divorced but remained in each other's lives because they shared a child. 'To say they stabbed me in the back doesn't even touch it,' Aldredge says in the docuseries' trailer. 'They had stabbed me in the soul.' She and Williams' mother, Cheryl Williams — who adamantly believed Denise and Brian had killed her son — began digging deeper into what had happened. They ultimately worked directly with police, went undercover, and later testified against Brian and Denise when the pair were convicted of working together to kill Mike. 'I've been able to kind of shut the door on that chapter, but there's a window that's still open,' Aldredge explains to PEOPLE, wondering how Brian and Denise were able to get away with the murder for 17 years before eventually being convicted. With the docuseries is coming out soon, Aldredge says she hopes it might lead to others coming forward with more information about what happened — and why she believes police investigations into Mike's murder were repeatedly halted. 'I feel like there's still some missing pieces,' she says. 'I feel like Brian and Denise, for all those years, were protected in some way.' Aldredge says revisiting her experiences 'took me back to a dark place.' After she and Williams' mother, Cheryl, came forward with their accusations against Brian and Denise, they encountered police roadblocks — and backlash from community members who defended the couple. Despite the blowback, the pair of fiercely determined amateur investigators never stopped trying to figure out how and why Mike was killed.'She and I spent a lot of years under the radar,' Aldredge says, recalling the many days she and Mike's mother spent digging for clues that might help connect the dots in his death. 'Cheryl and I went through this together, even though we didn't see each other every day and we didn't talk every day, whenever we got together, this investigation was what we talked about. This investigation was what connected us, and it was a constant obsession throughout all those years, no matter how much time had passed between us, there was always that connection.' Viewers can watch how it all unfolded on July 30 when Mr. and Mrs. Murder begins streaming on Hulu. Read the original article on People

This woman claims Air Canada discriminated against her in a case of ‘flying while Black.' Now her human rights complaint could set a precedent
Months after a knee surgery, June Francis booked a business-class flight from Vancouver for a conference in Toronto, the first leg of a work trip that would also include the U.S. and Peru. Having waited in the 'exceptionally long line' at check-in for business passengers, the 62-year-old Jamaican Canadian said she approached the economy area and attempted to ask an Air Canada staffer for help, out of concern about standing too long on her replaced knees. But what happened next would lead to a complaint that is believed to be the first case of 'flying while Black' that reaches a full hearing before the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal. According to the claim by Francis, an international business professor at Simon Fraser University, the following verbal exchange ensued between her and the Air Canada check-in agent on March 1, 2018, at Vancouver International Airport. 'I have a question. I am a business class passenger and the lineup is really long,' Francis said, as she quotes in her complaint. 'What is your advice to me …' 'Don't ask me,' the ticket agent cut her off and yelled. 'Just get in the line,' added the agent before tending to other passengers in what Francis described as 'a kind and caring manner.' Embarrassed and humiliated, Francis said she believed the Air Canada employee treated her differently because she was Black, and asked the agent to give her name or identifying number so she could report her 'outrageous' behaviour to management. When the agent refused, Francis took out her cellphone to photograph her. She said in her claim that was the only way of identifying the agent to a superior. For that, Francis later had her boarding pass taken away and was told by a customer service manager — accompanied by an airport security guard — that she would not be allowed on the flight unless she deleted the agent's photos. Feeling threatened, Francis complied. On Monday, more than seven years after the encounter — which the airline said was due to Francis's unruly behaviour — July 28 the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal will hear her discrimination case against Air Canada. At issue is whether Canada's Human Rights Act trumps the Montreal Convention, an international treaty that governs airline liability for international flights but does not provide for damages of any kind for discrimination. Francis and her counsel, Sujit Choudhry and Mani Kakkar, declined the Star's interview request, but issued a statement. 'This is a test case about Flying While Black in international air travel,' the statement said. 'It is also a crucial test case for the effectiveness of the Canadian Human Rights Act. It will decide if airlines can ever be liable to pay damages for discrimination for international flights.' Air Canada told the Star it is contesting Francis's allegations of discrimination and declined further comment. However, in its submissions to the tribunal, Air Canada said Francis ignored and refused instructions by its staff, and acted in 'an unruly manner,' escalating the situation 'unnecessarily.' 'A primary role and paramount objective of Air Canada's employees working a flight, including its check-in agents, is to ensure safety and security with respect to the ultimate boarding of passengers and the atmosphere in the cabin of the aircraft,' the airline said in a response to the tribunal. In her complaint, Francis said both the Air Canada supervisor and the security guard ignored her complaint of mistreatment and the reason for photographing the check-in agent. 'It became clear that both of these people were not interested in taking Dr. Francis's complaint seriously and had made their decision that Dr. Francis was at fault,' the claim said. 'The supervisor went so far as to say she could see the problem was because clearly Dr. Francis did not take direction.' According to the claim, Francis then asked which law was being broken by taking a picture in a public space, and the supervisor said she had a right to have it deleted because of the possibility of social media getting a hold of the image. Francis subsequently wrote to Air Canada and received a response that she said did not address the issues or indicate an investigation was undertaken. She said the airline did not contact her for her account of the event, nor did it contact a Caucasian passenger, who witnessed the interaction, tried to intervene and left his business card for reference. ('The supervisor changed her demeanour and behaved with a respectful manner toward this white male which she had not demonstrated in her behaviour toward Dr. Francis,' the complainant alleged.) In seeking damages in the amount of $40,000, Francis also requests Air Canada institute sensitivity training and training in unconscious bias, anti-racism and anti-sexism, as well conducting an audit of its services to ensure it treats racialized passengers with respect and sensitivity. In its defence, Air Canada said the check-in line agent requested the assistance of the manager because she was faced with a passenger who was 'demanding and unwilling and refusing to follow instructions' in an unusually busy check-in area. It said both the agent and the manager were of Asian descent. In its submission, the airline flagged the complainant's resumé, which included being the special adviser to Simon Fraser University's president on anti-racism, director of the university's Institute for Diaspora Research & Engagement, co-founder of its Black Caucus, and board chair of the Hogan's Alley Society, a group with the mandate to advance the economic and cultural well-being of people of African descent. 'There will be no evidence to support let alone prove 'anti-Black racism,' 'conscious and unconscious bias,' and 'systemic and institutional and structural racial discrimination,' ' Air Canada said in its defence. 'These allegations of the Complaint are disproportionate and untethered to the factual circumstances and serve to fit the agenda of the Complainant, whose career is focused on promoting these issues.' Air Canada also argued that the tribunal cannot award damages because a claim against an air carrier is governed by the Montreal Convention, which is a standard liability regime for death and injury, damage or loss of baggage and flight delay in international travel. Given Francis's itinerary, her journey was deemed international, said the airline. However, Choudhry, lawyer for Francis, argued in her submissions that Canada's Human Rights Act is a quasi-constitutional statute and must trump the Montreal Convention, which should be deemed unconstitutional if it denies the tribunal the power to award damages to victims of discrimination. 'Every person has a right to be free from discrimination in international travel,' said Francis's statement to the Star. 'For Canada's diasporas, international air travel is not a luxury. They must travel for family, economic and cultural reasons. They should be secure in the knowledge that if airlines discriminate against them, they have the right to damages.' Error!
