 DSW
Designer Shoe Warehouse opened two stores in Toronto this week - Slow and
Controlled Growth Planned In April, DSW bought a 49.2% stake in Town
Shoes, paving the way for DSW's entry into Canada. Mr. Dinan says that DSW
stores will eventually roll-out across the country. DSW's strategy for entering
Canada is initially a cautious one. DSW will ensure that these first stores are
able to provide the same quality experience of its US locations and once
confident enough, DSW will open stores Canada-wide. (Source

Menswear store owner - Sudbury shooting victim, fears reprisal from released
shooter
The victim of a shooting incident in downtown Sudbury says he lives in fear that
his attacker will be released and says a recent ruling makes that possibility
seem closer than ever. In 2010, Alex Klem walked into Tony Monteleone's menswear
store, and shot him in the abdomen. Klem was found not criminally responsible
for that last year. The judge said he suffered from paranoia and delusional
disorder. Klem has been in custody at the North Bay Psychiatric Hospital since
the ruling. But recently, the Ontario Review Board granted Klem a transfer to a
mental health facility in the town of Whitby in southern Ontario. Monteleone
said he is disappointed by what he sees as a favorable ruling. And he's also
afraid Klem will be released, and come after him. (Source

Plain clothes York Police team targeting shoplifters and known criminals
A new plain clothes police team has been launched in York. The four-person team
has been given funding to take on shoplifters, bike thieves and other
acquisitive crimes in the city, and is concentrating on offenders recently
released from prison, along with other known offenders. Inspector Charlotte
Bloxham said the new team was not created following a rise in crime, but with
the intention of trying a new method of dealing with volume crime. Insp Bloxham
said: "We have had some good results in areas where they would perhaps not have
done previously because they weren't in plain clothes." (Source
