N.S. RCMP investigating report of suspicious man in Middle Sackville
The Nova Scotia RCMP is asking for the public's help as it investigates a report of a suspicious man in Middle Sackville Tuesday evening. Officers responded to a report of a suspicious person on Windwood Drive around 5:45 p.m. Police say a man driving a silver car stopped on the street and told a teenage girl to get in. The girl refused and ran away. Police say the man followed her in his car before getting out and briefly following her on foot on Baker Drive. The girl then reported the incident to an adult. Police say they did patrols of the area but did not find the man or the car. 'Investigators have followed up with homes and businesses in the area for awareness of the incident and to request video surveillance that shows the area around the time it took place,' reads a Friday news release from the RCMP. Police describe the suspect as being six-feet tall with a slim build, balding and no facial hair. He was wearing a light blue, short-sleeved shirt, light-coloured shorts, and closed-toe sandals at the time of the alleged incident. The car he was driving is a believed to be a silver Honda Civic or a similar make and model. The RCMP says it wants to speak with anyone who may have information, or with video of the incident or the vehicle in the area. The force is asking anyone with information to call them at 902-490-5020 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). For more Nova Scotia news, visit our dedicated provincial page

Ottawa officer suspended after army learned of antisemitic, homophobic 'Blue Hackle Mafia' group
The head of the Canadian Army has temporarily suspended the commanding officer of the Cameron Highlanders in Ottawa after discovering a Facebook group with "abhorrent" content. As CBC News reported earlier this month, the Canadian Armed Forces has been investigating what was called the "Blue Hackle Mafia" group, which the army said was littered with "racist, misogynistic, homophobic and antisemitic comments and images." Army commander Lt.-Gen. Michael Wright said in a July 16 message to members that he was taking steps to address the "inappropriate behaviour" in a Facebook group. Those steps include temporarily removing the head of the Cameron Highlanders of Ottawa, a reserve infantry regiment of the Canadian Army, as an investigation into the group continues, he said. An interim head officer has been appointed to oversee the unit. The statement does not include names, but the regiment's website lists Lt.-Col. Ryan Hendy as the commanding officer. "This incident has damaged the reputation of the Canadian Army at a time when we are engaged in important modernization work as part of a ready, resilient, and relevant Canadian Armed Forces," Wright wrote in the statement. He previously described the Facebook group's content as "abhorrent" and said he was "disgusted" by some of the posts. According to screenshots of the Blue Hackle Mafia group shared with the Ottawa Citizen, the group posted hateful comments directed toward women and derogatory sexual comments about former prime minister Justin Trudeau. In one posting described by the newspaper, members talked about getting together for drinks at an Ottawa bar. "All welcome (except the Jews of course)," responded a member. CBC News has not verified the screenshots. Wright's statement goes on to say the army is investigating the alleged unethical conduct of any serving Canadian Army members who were part of the group. The group is also being investigated by the military police. The Blue Hackle Mafia is one of two high-profile stories about conduct in the Armed Forces this month.
