Peter Nygard will spend another night in jail. He was remanded into custody. CBC hired sketch artist James Culleton to come to the hearing. He did a great job at capturing what Nygard looked like in court today.

Court time for Peter Nygard followed his arrest in Winnipeg, where the fashion mogul will be kept behind bars pending possible extradition to New York due to alleged sex trafficking. (His son is among the relieved.) Meanwhile in Montreal, a court acquitted Just for Laughs founder Gilbert Rozon on charges of rape and indecent assault.

An extended holiday break will be Quebec’s strategy to try getting the COVID-19 caseload under control, and Ontario cities are wondering if they should do something similar. But for now, lockdown disparities result in situations like Lime Ridge Mall in Hamilton extending hours, likely drawing more shoppers, to the chagrin of its mayor.

Pornhub is being sued by 40 victims of a sex trafficking operation. Women who appeared in Girls Do Porn clips uploaded on the Montreal-based website are demanding a total of $40 million in damages after Pornhub purged 10 million videos whose users were unverified. Ottawa is still looking to have a word with the owners in winter.

But the action circled back to his hometown, where police recovered more than $635,000 worth of items reported missing from Walter’s house:
