Her conduct was disgraceful and she deserves the maximum penalty of termination after pleading guilty to seven counts of misconduct. Clarke had been charged under the Ontario …

May 2024 While B.C.’s experiment with decriminalizing of hard drugs has been an utter failure, Dr. Eileen de Villa, Toronto’s Medical Officer of Health, believes that the Toronto version of decriminalization will work.

April 2024 Cemeteries can serve as a window into the past and can provide a lot of information about the history of a community.

April 2024 Firstly, I would like express my condolences to the family of Detective Constable Jeffrey Northrup. With the acquittal of Umar Zameer in the death of D/C Northrup, we have avoided a gross miscarriage of justice.

Published in the Toronto Sun, 25 April 2024 While the keffiyeh may be a very practical item in a desert environment, it has become a toxic political symbol in recent months.
