Winnipeg has revoked what it calls its highest honour — the Key to the City — from Peter Nygard following the former fashion mogul’s conviction on four counts of sexual assault.

Nygard was arrested for alledged raping a 17 year old girl in Winnipeg in 1979. The charge was dropped because she refused to testify. This was long before women were empowered to speak out.

An excellent point. Why did the city bestow the honour on such a questionable person?
