Although never carried out, a Windsor judge described as “heinous” a plot to hire someone to kidnap, duct tape and deliver an alleged cocaine dealer to then be tortured by drilling holes into his skull.
Superior Court Justice Pamela Hebner on Tuesday sentenced Daniel Tiessen, 53, to three years in prison after he was convicted on charges of conspiracy to kidnap and to commit assault causing bodily harm, as well as one count of uttering threats to cause bodily harm.

Intelligence as a service the future for Dell, company says
SHARE
Artificial intelligence, machine learning and augmented reality are being made an integral part of Dell Technologies Inc.’s tech service offerings. The intelligence-as-a-service products, which include support, deployment, education, consulting and others will be delivered through cloud infrastructure.
“Over the next five to 10 years, we predict that all devices will be able to communicate anywhere on earth,” said Doug Schmitt (pictured, right), president of Dell Technologies Services. That, plus an estimate that 30% of the 175 zettabytes of data created worldwide by 2025 will be processed in real time is among the reasons Dell is preparing its support tools. Billions of endpoints will be supplying intelligence, according to Schmitt.
This was no small feat, but they excelled.
In the early and darkest days of this pandemic, Hiram Walker, among many other local firms, stepped up to assist the community at their own expense.
And then bureaucrats at Health Canada tried to throw Hiram Walker under the bus after the fact for doing what was the absolutely the right thing to do.
I applaud Hiram Walker for standing up to Health Canada and challenging the negative publicity surrounding the supply and specifications of hand sanitizer all of which is after the fact.
I am certain and hopeful Hiram Walker would come to the rescue once again despite everything just because that’s who they are and it’s the right thing to do.
