PIB marks Denim Day, ‘A refusal to stay silent’ - The Turtle Island News

By Keith Lacey, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter, Penticton Herald More than two dozen members of the Penticton Indian Band proudly wore denim to observe the global campaign held during Sexual Assault Awareness Month to protest against victim-blaming and show solidarity with survivors of sexual violence. The PIB members recognized 2026 Denim Day on Tuesday with a hearty meal, followed by speeches from social workers about the importance of this day, which began in 1999 following a ruling by the Italian Supreme Court that overturned a rape conviction after judges reasoned that because the victim wore tight jeans, she must have consented. Outraged, millions of Italian women wore denim as an act of solidarity. A huge Denim Day event was held in Los Angeles in 1999 and has since then become

Man charged in Edmonton officers' deaths being used a scapegoat: defence - The Turtle Island News

By Daniela Germano A man charged with manslaughter for selling a gun to a teen who killed two Edmonton police officers is an easy scapegoat in a case the Crown hopes can be used to expand criminal liability for gun violence, his lawyer argued Thursday. Court of King’s Bench Justice John Little heard closing arguments in the case against 21-year-old Dennis Okeymow, who faces more than a dozen charges from the shooting that claimed the lives of Const. Travis Jordan and Const. Brett Ryan. The trial heard that the officers were killed while responding to a domestic violence call in March 2023. Roman Shewchuk, 16, had strangled his mother until she lost consciousness. When she woke up, she ran to a nearby apartment building where she called police. Jordan and
