Nova Scotia RCMP confirm more than 10 people dead after gunman's rampage, and warn number may climb

People in a rural Nova Scotia community are reeling today after a bloody 12-hour rampage by a gunman who killed at least 10 people.

In an update on Sunday evening, police confirmed the gunman is dead, as well as an RCMP officer.

They said there are at least 10 people killed in total. They warned there may be more victims who have not been discovered yet and their investigation continues.

Nova Scotia RCMP said the gunman was Gabriel Wortman, 51. His rampage began late Saturday night in the small community of Portapique, N.S. He led police on a chase Sunday morning along one of the province's busiest highways. The chase ended near a gas station about 35 kilometres north of Halifax in Enfield, N.S., around 11:40 a.m. local time.

Police victim identified

Const. Heidi Stevenson, a 23-year-member of the RCMP, has been identified as the police member who was killed responding to the active shooter incident.

"Heidi answered the call of duty and lost her life while protecting those she served. Earlier this afternoon I met with Heidi's family and there are no words to describe their pain," Assistant Commissioner Lee Bergerman told reporters during an update on Sunday evening.

"Two children have lost their mother. And a husband has lost his wife. Parents have lost their daughter and countless others lost an incredible friend and colleague."

Bergerman also said a second male officer was injured and is in hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Police union says 1 member killed, 1 injured

The RCMP union said Sunday members were grieving after losing one of their own.

"Our thoughts are with everyone who experienced great loss today, so tragically and unnecessarily. There are no words," according to the statement from National Police Federation (NPF) president Brian Sauvé.

The NPF also said a second member was injured in the line of duty.

'One of the most senseless acts of violence' in N.S. history

Premier Stephen McNeil addressed the investigation Sunday afternoon.

"I never imagined when I went to bed last night that I would wake up to the horrific news that an active shooter was on the loose in Nova Scotia. This is one of the most senseless acts of violence in our province's history," McNeil said.

"To the families of the victims, and to those who are still feeling afraid, my heart goes out to you. Know that all Nova Scotians are with you."

McNeil also thanked RCMP for stopping the gunman and doing their best to protect citizens.

In a media briefing Sunday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau also thanked police for their work.

"My heart goes out to everyone affected in what is a terrible situation," Trudeau said in a brief statement.

Had car resembling RCMP vehicle, police say

Earlier, police had warned that the gunman, who they identified as Wortman before his capture, might be driving a vehicle that looked like an RCMP vehicle, and he might have been wearing an RCMP uniform.

RCMP warned that he was to be considered armed and dangerous.

"If you see him, call 911. DO NOT approach," RCMP tweeted Sunday morning.

Darcy Sack, a Shubenacadie, N.S., resident, said she and her friend came across two burning police vehicles and the silver suspect vehicle while out driving on Sunday morning near Highway 102, one of the province's main arteries.

"We were right behind the police car that was on fire. There was one officer we could see on scene and then all of a sudden, he went running toward one of the burning vehicles," Sack said. "We heard gunshots."

Sack said her heart was pounding the whole time.

"I had that feeling that something was wrong with the [police officer's] partner — the way he looked. My heart went out to him," she said.

Sack said they then turned on to the highway and then saw the shooter in the silver car again being chased by police. She said he was dressed like a police officer.

Incident began late Saturday night

Police first alerted the public to an incident involving someone with a firearm in the Portapique area on Saturday at 11:30 p.m. Residents were advised by RCMP to stay in their homes and lock their doors.

"You may not see the police but we are there with you," the Nova Scotia RCMP tweeted Sunday morning.

France says coronavirus crisis easing, but far from over

PARIS (Reuters) - The coronavirus situation in France is improving “slowly but surely” and shortages of protective gear such as face masks are easing, Prime Minister Edouard Philippe said on Sunday, although he warned that the crisis was far from over.

France - which has recorded close to 20,000 deaths as a result of the pandemic and has the fourth-highest toll in the world - has been in virtual lockdown for nearly five weeks and is due to start lifting some confinement measures from May 11.

Philippe told a news conference that falls in the number of people in intensive care were one of the encouraging signals that pressures on hospitals were easing.

But he shut down any expectations that the gradual exit from confinement in May, due to start with the reopening of schools, would allow people to move around or interact as before, especially as a vaccine against the virus was still far off.

“It won’t be a return to normal life,” Philippe said, adding that as France introduces more testing, people with coronavirus would have to remain isolated at home or in hotels laid on by the government. “From May 11, we will enter a second phase, when we will regain some of our freedoms.”

The French state has given few details yet of the pace at which businesses like cinemas or bars will reopen, only saying that as some stores open up again, people will have to maintain safe distances from each other.

France will, however, lift its ban on visits to nursing home residents, provided people did not touch their relatives, Health Minister Olivier Veran told the same briefing. Elderly people in nursing homes account for nearly 40% of the coronavirus fatalities in the country.

The government has come under fire in recent weeks after shortages of medicines, hospital equipment such as ventilators and face masks for doctors as well as front line workers in sectors like supermarkets added to problems in handling the crisis.

Philippe said that in the past week France had managed to import just under 81 million masks, exceeding for the first time “in a long time” its weekly needs of about 45 million.

By June, France will also have secured and produced 15,000 more ventilators for resuscitation units in hospitals and another 15,000 less heavy-duty versions - helping it exceed its projected needs.

“That will not only allow us to secure our situation, but thereafter to also mobilise some ventilators to help France’s allies internationally,” Philippe said.

Celebrities Slammed For Taking Part In ‘One World’ Benefit Concert For The WHO: ‘Commie Propaganda’

On Saturday night, a line-up of A-list celebrities took part in the “One World” benefit concert for the World Health Organization (WHO). This has since come back to bite the stars, however, as they are being widely slammed for participating in a concert to raise money for an organization that many feel is responsible for helping to cover up the coronavirus pandemic when it was still in China.

Breitbart News reported that the lineup of performers included Taylor Swift, Paul McCartney, The Rolling Stones, Beyonce, Oprah Winfrey, Jennifer Lopez, Elton John, and Lady Gaga, who went so far as to describe WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom as a “superstar.” Former first ladies Michelle Obama and Laura Bush also made appearances during the benefit, as did former soccer star David Beckham and Microsoft founder Bill Gates.

It didn’t take long for the backlash to start pouring in, however, as social media users made it clear that WHO should not be supported. “If I could give No stars I would,” one social media user commented. “WHO lied! People died!! Let’s not forgot this!!! While we’re home given up our freedom and most of us without jobs these CELEBRITIES ask us to help raise money for the WHO?! Forget it!”

“Yes, we need useless celebrities preaching to us how this isn’t China’s fault and how we should just all live as one nation,” another user added, with a third writing, “That one world together at home commie propaganda sponsored by the CCP WHO and this global citizen bull crap is on at least 20 different stations. You can take your commie propaganda and shove it. THIS IS AMERICA! We are not global citizens we are AMERICAN CITIZENS!!’

This comes after President Donald Trump announced that he would cease funding the WHO because of their connections to China. “Today I’m instructing my administration to halt funding of the World Health Organization while a review is conducted to assess the World Health Organization’s role in severely mismanaging and covering up the spread of the coronavirus,” Trump said on Tuesday. “The WHO’s attack on travel restrictions put political correctness above life-saving measures. The reality is that the WHO failed to adequately obtain, vet and share information in a timely and transparent fashion. Fortunately, I was not convinced and suspended travel from China, saving untold numbers of lives.”

It’s despicable that these celebrities are supporting an organization like the WHO right now when they clearly are partly to blame for the situation the world is currently in. The stars have become so infected with Trump Derangement Syndrome that they are willing to support any organization that he opposes, even if it means exposing their own ignorance in the process.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella Showed He Gets It. [[[Bill Gates]]] Never Really Did

Why do you want to start a company?

To get rich, painfully but quickly? To dominate, quickly and then for a long time?

So much of business language is wrapped up in a vocabulary of war and sports that you’d think it’s just you against the enemies and you have to emerge victorious, while the enemy must be decimated.

Since becoming Redmond’s guiding light, Nadella has offered urbanity as opposed to Bill Gates’s nakedly aggressive drive for absolute hegemony. (That’s the old Bill Gates, you understand.)

Nadella has turned Microsoft from a feared, often loathed company into one that seems to rise above most controversy and even to court a peculiarly humanized sanity.

He said:

It’s not about, ‘Okay, let’s first go make a lot of money.’

It isn’t? Many might wonder that this is how it’s been — especially in tech — for the last 20 years. It’s an attitude that made Gates very rich.

Yet Nadella believes every company should consider not merely itself and its coming greatness, but how and why it operates in the wider world.

His principle is this:

As a first unit of scale, at the core of your business model, are you creating a surplus around you?

No, not just a revenue surplus. A surplus of goods — the social good, the environmental good and the good of positive governance. Nadella explained:

If Microsoft is doing well, that means we’re creating productivity for that small business somewhere in the world. A multinational that’s becoming more productive, employing more people, creating jobs. Public sector is becoming more efficient. Educational outcomes, health outcomes are getting better.

It’s surely true that every business, multinational or local, can contribute at least something to wider aims.

Yet Nadella believes that some of his rivals simply don’t care.

He referred to what he called aggregator business models. Those espoused by companies that simply try to dominate the world’s content, without actually contributing anything to — what is it they keep on saying in Silicon Valley? Oh yes — making the world a better place.

It’s hard not to imagine that he has Facebook and perhaps a few of its contemporaries in mind when he says:

I would question the business models of these other companies.

Many questioned Microsoft’s business model for the longest time. Perhaps it was merely a product of its times, but Gates seemed determined to force every business in the world to use his company’s occasionally mediocre software. He didn’t appear to give too many hoots about society at large.

Even when his ad agency created a campaign that was emotional, aspirational and spoke to human potential, it didn’t last very long.

It was remarkable, indeed, how Apple mocked him with cheery, human incisiveness in its quite wonderful Get A Mac campaign.

Things have changed. Both for him and for Microsoft. While Gates has, since he left Microsoft, dedicated so much of his time and wealth to actually, really making the world a better place — or at least a safer one — Microsoft has significantly changed both its tone and its approach to business. It acknowledges others with far more respect.

Of course, some could accuse Nadella of sanctimony. Yet once the world emerges from the Coronavirus crisis — and it’ll be a very different world — I suspect there’ll be an even greater emphasis on the broader, more human good offered by companies.

Especially the largest ones. Especially the largest ones in tech.

Would Gates’s Microsoft have given employees 12 weeks of paid parental leave because of today’s crisis — as Nadella’s just did? I wonder.

Perhaps, these days, it’s worth being prepared for an altered atmosphere with very different human values and not just grabbing for the largest number of bucks you can.

Trudeau Government Funding Research Project That’s Partnering With Chinese Lab Where COVID-19 May Have Started

Canada’s Trudeau government is reportedly funding a University of Alberta project that is collaborating with the Wuhan Institute of Virology — the Chinese lab that may have spawned the coronavirus.

The federal government has provided an $828,000 grant to professor Le Xiaochun, who is an environmental toxicology researcher at the Edmonton, Alberta academic facility, the Globe and Mail reported Saturday.

President Donald Trump said Friday he will end federal funding established by his predecessor, President Barack Obama in 2015, for the Chinese lab. Numerous reports have cited the lab as the place where the COVID-19 virus originated and was subsequently leaked to the local community

At the daily coronavirus task force news conference, the president was asked why the National Institutes of Health was including the Chinese laboratory in a $3.7 million dollar stipend to conduct research.

Prof. Le’s research team is working with scientists from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency in an effort to create coronavirus detection procedures that would be provided to the Wuhan Institute of Virology for verification.

The Trudeau government has not explained why, with all the controversy surrounding it, the Wuhan lab was named as a partner in the research project.

Funding for the initiative is provided by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), via Canadian Health Minister Patty Hajdu. Hajdu has been a vocal critic of those who did not accept China’s early estimates of its coronavirus deaths, accusing a journalist who questioned that data of spreading “conspiracy” theories.

“There is no indication that the data that came out of China in terms of their infection rate, and their death rate, was falsified in any way,” she told reporters in Ottawa.

Hajdu’s spokesman, Cole Davidson, told the Globe and Mail that all CIHR projects are subject to a “rigorous peer review” by “expert scientists in an impartial, objective and fair manner.”
