Inside how a botched, GFL-linked shooting may have helped police unravel a Toronto gun-for-hire network

Around 5 a.m. on a Sunday morning in March, a gunman got out of a car on a quiet street near the waterfront in Oakville. Almost immediately, he opened fire.

An accomplice stood beside him, apparently filming the attack on a phone as the gunman shot at a stone house with a double-car garage, according to neighbours who later watched the incident unfold on their security footage.

Suddenly there was a flash from across the street. Someone was firing at the pair. They scattered.

LILLEY: Don’t cry for CBC as they drop ‘Hockey Night in Canada’

LILLEY: Don’t cry for CBC as they drop ‘Hockey Night in Canada’

If you were to listen to Liberal MPs, and to CBC, Canadians just won’t be able to watch hockey come the new NHL season. In reality, hockey is just returning to being broadcast solely on the private sector stations that initially aired the games before CBC stole it all.

As of this fall, if you want to watch most NHL games in Canada, you will need to subscribe to cable or directly to Sportsnet, owned by Rogers.


I’m no fan of today’s CBC but back when I followed hockey HNIC was a regular part of my life.

There’s room for nostalgia of the CBC that used to be.

Motor Mouth: What the hell is Melanie Joly doing?

Motor Mouth: What the hell is Melanie Joly doing?

According to Wiktionary, a “mixed message” is “communication that contains contradictory, inconsistent, or unclear information, making it difficult for the receiver to understand the sender’s true intent, thoughts, or feelings.” If that be so, then Mark Carney’s recent “hot mic” moment at this week’s G7 summit and Melanie Joly’s (almost) simultaneous announcement she was heading to China to drum up some auto business might be the very definition of getting your wires crossed.

Comparison to Hitler, Mao, Stalin? Trump says: ‘Sounds good to me!’

Comparison to Hitler, Mao, Stalin? Trump says: ‘Sounds good to me!’

Donald Trump has enthusiastically agreed with a public assessment by a man he met while golfing that the “overwhelming difference” between the current US president and historical figures who incited fear – such as Attila the Hun, Genghis Khan, Napoleon, Stalin, Mao and Hitler – is that Trump is more powerful.

The US president reposted a short text in the early hours of Friday morning, in which the author writes:

“Historically, powerful people were characterised by brutal conquest and the fear that they instilled in the populations that came under their influence. Common names that would come to mind are Alexander the Great, the Caesars, Genghis Khan, Attila the Hunt, Tamburlaine, Napoleon and, more recently, Hitler, Mao, and Stalin.

In Trump’s shadow, Vance becomes face of Iran deal

As he defended the US-Iran deal at the White House press briefing on Thursday, Vice-President JD Vance brushed aside a question about whether President Donald Trump had positioned him as the “fall guy” for an agreement that is broadly unpopular with Republicans in Washington.

“I think the president was joking,” Vance said, referring to Trump’s comment the previous day that he might blame the vice-president if the deal collapses.

Vance has spent the week defending the memorandum of understanding with Iran.
