The NovaScotiagovernment will

permanently ban police street

checks, the province’s justice

minister said Friday after a retired

judge issued a formal opinion

that the practice is illegal.

Retired justice Michael MacDo-

nald’s 108-page analysis conclud-

ed the practise of stopping of citi-

zens to collect and record their

personal information contra-

venes basic constitutional and

common-law rights.

In coming to his conclusion,

the veteran jurist referred to find-

ings by criminologist Scot Wor-

tley this year showing black peo-

ple were five times more likely to

be stopped by police in Halifax,

creating a “disproportionate and

negative” impact on minority

communities.

He also noted that Mr. Wor-

tley’s report “did not identify any

concrete benefits to street

checks.”

Shortly after Mr. MacDonald’s

findings were released, Nova Sco-

tia Justice Minister Mark Furey

told reporters he plans to intro-

duce regulations that will place a

permanent ban on the practice.

After the Wortley report came

out in March, Mr. Furey imposed a

temporary moratorium on the

practice.

However, groups representing

black Nova Scotians have said

non-white citizens were contin-

uing to be stopped and asked for

identification in instances in

which no crime was being investi-

gated.

Mr. Furey said his decision to

move toward a permanent ban

was based on those concerns as

well as Mr. MacDonald’s opinion.

“The decision I’ve come to, based

on a number of contributing fac-

tors, is we will move to take the

moratorium to a permanent ban

on street checks,” he said.

The attorney-general said he

will send out a notice of his deci-

sion to law-enforcement services

around the province.

Halifax regional police have

committed to eliminating data

collected by police checks, and

Mr. Furey said it will be “incum-

bent” on other police forces to do

the same thing.

Mr. MacDonald was retained

by the Nova Scotia Human Rights

Commission to provide his opin-

ion.

The world’s first all-female spacewalking
team made history high above Earth on
Friday, replacing a broken part of the In-
ternational Space Station’s power grid.
As NASA astronauts Christina Koch
and Jessica Meir completed the job with
wrenches, screwdrivers and power-grip
tools, it marked the first time in a half-
century of spacewalking that men weren’t
part of the action.
They insisted they were just doing their
job after years of training.
The United States’ first female space-
walker from 35 years ago, Kathy Sullivan,
was delighted. She said it’s good to finally
have enough women in the astronaut
corps and trained for spacewalking for
this to happen.
“We’ve got qualified women running
the control, running space centres, com-
manding the station, commanding space-
ships and doing spacewalks,” Ms. Sullivan
told the Associated Press earlier this
week. “And golly, gee whiz, every now and
then there’s more than one woman in the
same place.”
U.S. President Donald Trump put in a
congratulatory call from the White House
to mark “this historic event ... truly his-
toric.”
“What you do is incredible. You’re very
brave people,” Mr. Trump told them as
they wrapped up their spacewalk.
Replied Ms. Meir: “We don’t want to
take too much credit because there have
been many others – female spacewalkers

• before us. This is just the first time that
  there have been two women outside at
  the same time ... For us, this is really just
  us doing our job.”
  NASA leaders, Girl Scouts, and others
  also cheered Ms. Koch and Ms. Meir on.
  Parents also sent in messages of thanks
  and encouragement on social media. NA-
  SA included some in its TV coverage. “Go
  girls go,” two young sisters wrote on a
  sign in crayon. A group of middle school-
  ers held a long sign reading “The sky is
  not the limit!!”
  At the same time, many expressed
  hope this will become routine in the fu-
  ture.
  Tracy Caldwell Dyson, a three-time
  spacewalker who looked on from Mission
  Control in Houston, added: “Hopefully,
  this will now be considered normal.”
  NASA originally wanted to conduct an
  all-female spacewalk last spring, but did
  not have enough medium-size suits ready
  to go until summer.
  Ms. Koch and Ms. Meir were supposed
  to install more new batteries in a space-
  walk next week, but had to venture out
  three days earlier to deal with an equip-
  ment failure that occurred over the week-
  end.
  It was the second such failure of a bat-
  tery charger this year, puzzling engineers

and putting a hold on future battery

installations for the solar power system.

NASA administrator Jim Bridenstine

watched the big event unfold from Wash-

ington headquarters.

“We have the right people doing the

right job at the right time,” he said.

“They are an inspiration to people all

over the world, including me. And we’re

very excited to get this mis-

sion under way.”

Speaker of the House

Nancy Pelosi sent congratu-

lations to Ms. Koch and Ms.

Meir “for leaving their mark

on history,” and tweeted that

they’re an inspiration to

women and girls across the

U.S.

The spacewalkers’ main

job was to replace the faulty

19-year-old old charge-regu-

lating device – the size of a

big, bulky box – for one of

the three new batteries that

was installed last week by

Ms. Koch and Andrew Mor-

gan.

“Jessica and Christina, we

are so proud of you,” said Mr.

Morgan, one of four astro-

nauts inside. He called them his “astrosis-

ters.”

Spacewalking is widely considered the

most dangerous assignment in orbit. Ital-

ian astronaut Luca Parmitano, who oper-

ated the station’s robot arm from inside

during Friday’s spacewalk, almost

drowned in 2013 when his helmet flooded

with water from his suit’s cooling system.

“Everyone ought to be sending some

positive vibes by way of airwaves to space

for these two top-notch spacewalkers,”

Ms. Dyson said early in the spacewalk.

Ms. Meir, a marine biologist making her

spacewalking debut, became the 228th

person in the world to conduct a space-

walk and the 15th woman.

It was the fourth spacewalk for Ms.

Koch, an electrical engineer who is seven

months into an 11-month

mission that will be the

longest ever by a woman.

Both are members of NA-

SA’s Astronaut Class of 2013,

the only one equally split

between women and men.

Pairing up for a space-

walk was especially mea-

ningful for Ms. Koch and Ms.

Meir; they’re close friends.

They’re also both former

Girl Scouts.

It took two decades for

women to catch up with

men in the spacewalking

arena.

The world’s first space-

walker on March 18, 1965,

Soviet cosmonaut Alexei Le-

onov, died last week. NASA

astronaut Ed White became

the first U.S. spacewalker less than three

months after Mr. Leonov’s feat. Women

did not follow out the hatch until 1984.

The first was Soviet cosmonaut Svetla-

na Savitskaya. Ms. Sullivan followed three

months later.

Friday’s milestone spacewalk was the

421st for team Earth.
