Suncor Energy Inc. chief executive Mark Little has stepped down as president and chief executive officer and resigned from its board of directors just one day after the company announced its oilsands operations have suffered another workplace fatality.

Little’s departure is effective immediately, the Calgary-based energy company said in a release Friday. “Suncor is committed to achieving safety and operational excellence across our business, and we must acknowledge where we have fallen short and recognize the critical need for change,” said board chair Michael Wilson.

On Thursday, Suncor announced that a contractor had been killed at its Base Mine north of Fort McMurray, Alta., the latest in a string of workplace deaths and safety incidents that have plagued the energy giant.

Since 2014, there have been at least 12 deaths at Suncor sites, more than all of its oilsands rivals combined.

Amanda Todd trial: guilty verdict on five charges for Aydin Coban
@GlobalBC— Rumina Daya (@rdayaglobal) August 6, 2022Justice Martha Devlin provided instructions to the jury before deliberations began, telling them to take “special care” with the statements given by Amanda Todd before her death.Devlin said because Todd died in October 2012 and therefore did not testify or face cross-examination by Aydin Coban’s lawyers, the jury needs to be aware of the limitations of evidence given.Jury members were told to carefully examine the statements Todd gave to her parents, police officers and in her electronic communications when they considered Coban’s verdict. Jury now deliberating in online extortion case of British Columbia teen The trial hinged on the identity of what the Crown has called the “sextortionist” that used 22 online aliases to sexually blackmail Todd over four “episodes” before she took her life in 2012.The Crown’s theory is built on two propositions: that one person operated all of the accounts, and that the one person is Coban.However, defence lawyer Joseph Saulnier told the 12-member jury that evidence from the two drives tells a different story.Facebook records for several of the aliases presented at trial showed the extortionist using operating systems and Internet browsers through 2012 and into late 2013 that were not found on either hard drive, he told the court.“This is a significant hole in Crown’s theory,” he said.
