Ontario’s Solicitor General is trying to figure out how a man awaiting trail on a first-degree murder charge was able to record part of a music video inside his jail cell.
In a clip posted to Instagram this week, Toronto rapper Top5, appears in an orange jumpsuit in a cinderblock room.
“I was 18 when I bought a gun, 22 when I shot your son,” he says looking into the camera.
If you chose between getting rid of Dundas St. or drug injection sites, what would it be?
No matter what happens in the mayoral election on Monday, only Toronto would keep the heroin injection site in the main tourism area but get rid of the street name it sits on.
Joe Biden has been briefed on the chaotic situation in Russia with US officials describing it as “serious”.
The president was being kept informed as Wagner mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin was accused by Moscow of launching an armed rebellion.
A White House National Security Council spokesman said: “We are monitoring the situation and will be consulting with allies and partners on these developments.”
We’re coming to get you! Wagner forces head to Moscow
Russia’s Wagner militia forces are headed towards Moscow on Saturday after chief Yevgney Prigozhin initiated a military coup against Putin and his regime, which has seen the group take key cities and mock the President, who called them ‘traitors’.
Putin addressed the Russian people on Saturday, warning that the military leader had ‘stabbed him in the back’, as Moscow is on lockdown as troops dig in in preparation to defend the city.
Key points of Putin’s address to nation over PMC Wagner coup attempt
Russian President Vladimir Putin has delivered an address to the nation amid a coup attempt by the private military company Wagner. He described the mutineers’ actions as “backstabbing” and called for unity.
Late on Friday, PMC Wagner’s boss Evgeny Prigozhin accused the Russian military of striking his group’s base – something the Defense Ministry has strongly denied.
Putin appears in a video address after Wagner mercenaries began a military coup and successfully seized the southern city of Rostov.
“Wagner group rebellion is a criminal campaign, Russia will defend itself.”

BREAKING:
The Russian Army has started building machine gun positions on the south-western entrances on the ring-road to Moscow.
It’s the expected attack direction of the Wagner Group.

A car is a deadly weapon.
The officer gave him multiple chances before opening fire 🤷♂️
Justified or not?

Former U.S. president Barack Obama has suggested using “digital fingerprints” as a method of combatting “misinformation” that may occur during the 2024 presidential election.
During a recent podcast interview with his former campaign strategist David Axelrod, Obama addressed the potential issue of advanced technology increasing misinformation, specifically related to the next presidential race.
The aptly named John Mountain said he was “absolutely done, done, done with vegans” this week after an obnoxious diner at his Fyre restaurant in Perth, Australia, complained on social media about her vegan meal and lamented the lack of vegan options.

Foreign Affairs Minister Melanie Joly says the war in Ukraine will eventually end through diplomacy, but that Canada’s support of the country will continue in the long term, to help prevent future conflict.
As the war approaches the 18-month mark, Joly told CTV’s Question Period host Vassy Kapelos in an interview airing Sunday that the long-term support of Ukraine by Canada and other NATO allies is critical to deterring Russia, which Joly says will remain “a very dangerous neighbour” even after the war.
Decades of support? I can’t take this woman seriously.
The Toronto District School Board’s decision to allow parents to opt their children out of drag storytime — a common part of family-friendly programming during Pride Month and beyond — is a dangerous setback for 2SLGBTQ+ human rights education.
We are queer parents with elementary and secondary-aged children in the TDSB. Like many, we were alarmed by a recent report detailing confusion over board policy and disappointed with their position that schools should “accommodate” parents who want to opt-out of drag storytime delivered by board-approved partners in-class and on-site.
Good Lord.
In white nationalist circles, 1488 is a signal — 14 for the 14 words, 88 for the eighth letter of the alphabet, H, twice.
That’s for He*l H*tler.
Given Musk has previously shared he has 24.7k subscribers, why does his profile now say 88?
Right next to 144.5?

Algonquin communities consulted over what to rename Ottawa’s Sir John A. Macdonald Parkway have reached a consensus and the new name Kichi Zībī Mīkan will be recommended to the National Capital Commission’s board of directors later this month, according to a letter circulated by one of the Indigenous groups involved.
A little odd given it’s a parkway designed for motor vehicles or did the Algonquin invent cars?

There’s nothing noble about cheating death
In the pristine cylindrical atrium of Altos Labs’s Cambridge Institute of Science, under a skylight resembling a giant cyclopic eye, I ask the obvious question. What does the company actually do? “Cell rejuvenation,” replies the facilities manager. At least, looking back, I’m pretty sure that’s what he says. At the time, I hear something slightly different: “We sell rejuvenation.”
The “modern approach” to broadcasting regulation, according to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), involves ordering broadcasters to budget and produce content with diversity quotas in mind, while mandating that various groups of people be consulted every two years.
The AFP reports that the elite of Hollywood are set to meet in Los Angeles for a four-day summit designed to formulate a strategy to “tackle climate change.”
The report notes that THOUSANDS of stars, directors and writers will convene with “scientists and activists” in an effort to “encourage movies and TV shows to use their outsized influence on audiences around the world.”
