Human Rights Tribunal ruled that a complaint of discrimination lodged against the Central Okanagan Board of Education will proceed to a hearing. A former student of George Elliot Secondary School in Lake Country, Faith Bigam, filed a complaint in the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal , alleging that she had been subject to discrimination by the School District No. 23 Board of Education, her school principal and a teacher. Bigam, who was in Grade 11 at the time of the incident, alleges that she was discriminated against "based on mental and physical disability." Bigam was diagnosed with pediatric Multiple Sclerosis , at 12 years old. According to the complaint, after years of building confidence, she voiced her desire to speak to the student body at George Elliot about her rare, degenerative condition in order to educate her peers. The complaint alleges that in 2019, a teacher, the school principal and the school district prevented Bigam from speaking at an assembly and then mishandled the aftermath of the situation. Bigam says that as a direct result of the incident, she was not able to return to George Elliot Secondary School. The presentation was scheduled for an upcoming school assembly and Bigam prepared a speech. There is contrasting evidence from Bigam, her mother and the teacher who was named in the complaint, about the incident that took place on the morning of the scheduled speech. According to tribunal documents, on the morning of the assembly, an interaction took place between Bigam, her mother and the teacher in charge of the assembly, that became heated. After a disagreement, it was decided that Bigam would not be present at the assembly. Bigam alleges that "everyone was raising their voices," and she felt embarrassed, panicked and began to cry. In a response to the complaint, the teacher alleges that she was not trying to prevent Bigam from speaking and says she did not raise her voice. She alleges that she was instead trying to work with Bigam to ensure the presentation fit with the theme of the assembly before the emotions escalated. After the incident, Bigam's parents spoke with and sent an email to the principal and the SD23, complaining about the interaction with the teacher regarding their daughter's now cancelled presentation at the assembly. The principal assured the family the matter was being taken "very seriously." Bigam stopped attending school after the incident. The school's vice-principal spoke with the BC Human Rights Tribunal and stated Bigam's mother was "adamant" that the teacher be fired and did not seem interested in an apology or “anything else”. Bigam never returned to George Elliot School, claiming she experienced stress, anxiety and emotional distress as a result of the altercation and graduated from an alternative learning program. Additionally, Bigam suffered a relapse of Multiple Sclerosis in June 2019, which her family alleges was spurred by the stress of the incident. Bigam says she missed out on important social and educational opportunities by not returning to the school. The BC Human Rights Tribunal has dismissed the complaint against both the teacher and principal but allowed the remainder of the complaint against the SD23. A date has yet to be set on the matter.
The Russian government does not plan to fine people for visiting banned websites with the help of Virtual Private Network (VPN) services, the country’s media regulator, Roskomnadzor, has told RT. The technology allows users to create a secure connection between their device and the server, as well as hiding their IP addresses and bypassing firewalls and blocks. Earlier this month, Roskomnadzor issued a draft order that would require telecom operators to provide it with data on internet users who visit blocked websites. If the legislation is adopted, the regulator will reportedly be able to monitor any attempts to bypass firewalls or access blocked websites using VPNs. On Wednesday, Hi-Tech Mail news outlet reported that the order would allow the regulator to fine people for using VPN, citing IT experts. Yuri Gizatullin, founder of TIQUM IT firm, told the news outlet that Roskomnadzor has the technical means to do so, but noted, however, that such measures would “raise questions” about data privacy. According to Roskomnadzor, it has no intention of fining VPN users. “There is a gross error in such assumptions,” the regulator stated, noting that its draft order targeting VPNs “does not and cannot introduce fines.” “The said draft order of Roskomnadzor does not touch upon the use of VPN services,” it added, slamming the report as “fake.” Anton Nemkin, a member of the State Duma Committee on Information Policy, Technology and Communications, also denied the report. He explained that the measure would be nearly impossible to introduce, as the line between legal and illegal use of VPNs is difficult to determine. The issue of introducing penalties for the use of VPN services and possibly banning them has been raised in Russia repeatedly. Since the start of the military operation in Ukraine in February 2022, Western nations have banned multiple Russian news organizations, accusing them of spreading ‘disinformation’, while allowing anti-Russia propaganda to appear on their websites and social media. Russia responded by blacklisting a number of Western media outlets and platforms. Citing anti-Russian sentiments, misinformation, and censorship of Russian media outlets, Roskomnadzor banned access to sites such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and outlets like the BBC and Deutsche Welle. However, these websites are still widely accessible in Russia through VPN services. While VPN services have not been banned in the country, in March this year, Roskomnadzor restricted the advertising of them. In November, it also banned the distribution of scientific and statistical information about VPN services, with the exception of those that provide secure remote access. The regulator has also been blocking VPN services that violate its rules.Directed by Dheeraj Sarna and produced by Shobha Kapoor, Ektaa R Kapoor, Amul V Mohan and Anshul Mohan.

Meta Platforms fell 0.7%, Amazon was down 0.6%, and Netflix gave up 1.1%. Tesla was among the biggest decliners in the S&P 500, down 1.9%. Health care stocks helped lift the market. CVS Health rose 1.7% and Walgreens Boots Alliance rose 3% for the biggest gain among S&P 500 stocks. Several retailers also gained ground. Target rose 2.8%, Best Buy was up 2.2% and Dollar Tree gained 2.7%.

So far this month, the U.S. stock market has lost some of its gains since President-elect Donald Trump’s win on Election Day, which raised hopes for faster economic growth and more lax regulations that would boost corporate profits. Worries have risen that Trump’s preference for tariffs and other policies could lead to higher inflation , a bigger U.S. government debt and difficulties for global trade. Even so, the U.S. market remains on pace to deliver strong returns for 2024. The benchmark S&P 500 is up roughly 26% so far this year and remains near its most recent all-time high it set earlier this month — its latest of 57 record highs this year.
