banned firearms as it continues to rework some controversial gun control amendments.Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino made the announcement Wednesday morning, in what Ottawa is touting as a “significant step” towards the launch of the Firearms Buyback Program.The Canadian Sporting Arms and Ammunition Association (CSAAA), which represents the hunting and sport shooting industry in Canada, will work in collaboration with Public Safety Canada and retailers.The first phase of the program set to begin later this year will focus on businesses with banned firearms in their possession, according to a government statement.The CSAAA will help identify the number and types of banned firearms that are held by businesses and try to “streamline” the buyback process, the statement said.The second phase, which will come later but with no clear timeline yet, will focus on individual gun owners and will not involve the CSAAA.The Liberal government banned some 1,500 models and variants of firearms, including the AR-15 and Ruger Mini-14, through an order-in-council in May 2020.The proposed buyback program would require owners to either sell these firearms to the government or have them rendered inoperable at federal expense.“The successful implementation of this program is no small feat, and we appreciate the expertise of the Canadian Sporting Arms and Ammunition Association,” said Mendicino in a statement.“This is the first step towards getting assault-style firearms out of our communities,” he added.In February, the federal government withdrew an amendment to the federal bill that would have spelled out in law the various models covered by a ban on assault-style guns.Automatic firearms are already prohibited in Canada.The Liberals

Ottawa is buzzing with public servants in numbers that haven’t been seen since before the pandemic.And it’s all thanks to workers fighting for the right not to have to be there.Tuesday marks six days since more than 150,000 public servants walked off the job as part of their contract negotiations with the federal government.One of the major sticking points is the union’s call for more flexibility to allow workers to do their jobs from home.In December Treasury Board President Mona Fortier directed office workers who had spent most of the pandemic working remotely to return to the office at least two days a week.After COVID-19 hit, the city’s downtown businesses have suffered without throngs of workers to frequent them.Downtown Ottawa city councillor Ariel Troster says she thinks public servants will never return the core full time and the city needs to rethink how it supports the businesses that once relied on the workers.

(Credit: Oklahoma Department of Corrections, File) OKLAHOMA CITY - An Oklahoma appeals court on Thursday upheld the murder conviction of death row inmate Richard Glossip, paving the way for Glossip to be executed on May 18, despite the state attorney general’s concerns about some testimony and evidence.Glossip can still plead his case for clemency to the five-member Oklahoma Pardon and Parole Board, which could recommend that the governor spare the prisoner’s life by commuting his sentence to life in prison without parole.Glossip has been scheduled for execution before and three separate times came within hours of being put to death.The Oklahoma Court of Criminal Appeals' ruling said his case "has been thoroughly investigated and reviewed," with Glossip given "unprecedented access" to prosecutors' files."Yet he has not provided this court with sufficient information that would convince this court to overturn the jury's determination that he is guilty of first-degree murder and should be sentenced to death," according to the ruling written by Judge David Lewis.Glossip's attorney, Don Knight, said he will continue to seek a new trial."It is unconscionable for the court to attempt to force the State to move forward with his execution," Knight said.

FILE-A stylist cuts a man's hair at a salon. (Photo by: Jeff Greenberg/Universal Images Group via Getty Images) Grey hair is a physical change most experience as they get older, but new scientific research may shed light on how people can protect their natural hair color. A study by researchers from the NYU Grossman School of Medicine finds that some stem cells can transition between growth areas in hair follicles but get stuck as people get older and lose their ability to mature and sustain hair color, according to a release from NYU Langone Health.The team’s study, published in the scientific journal Nature on Wednesday, centered on cells found in the skin of mice and humans called melanocyte stem cells or McSCs. Hair color, the researchers explain, is controlled based on nonfunctional but continually growing pools of McSCs in hair follicles to become mature cells that make protein pigments responsible for hair color.The study notes McSCs are plastic, which means during hair growth, the cells move back and forth as they transition between parts of the developing hair follicle.
