69 h. ago MANDEL: Drug dealer who killed mom with stray bullet claims self

It was self-defence. That seemed to be the argument from Damian Hudson, the drug dealer on trial for killing an innocent mom in the crossfire of a gunfight outside a Riverdale safe injection site in the summer of 2023. But his voice was so low and so garbled, so monotone and emotionless, that it was […]

3 w. ago Buffalo Bills supporters want to break up with cursed Toronto sports fans

Some Buffalo Bills fans located south of the border are pleading with those in Toronto to stop rooting on their team.It's no secret that Toronto seems to be cursed when it comes to their pro sports teams. The Maple Leafs haven't won a Stanley Cup since 1967 and find new ways to disappoint their fan base every year.And we're still not over the Blue Jays' loss in Game 7 of the World Series.That loss, paired with a Bills loss to the lowly Miami Dolphins this past week, resulted in a fan typing out a hilarious message and posting it in the streets of Toronto. "Please, please stop rooting for us," the message begins. "Toronto sports fans...

3 w. ago Toronto brothers were almost evicted for being a single penny short on rent

Based on documents supplied by the union, their landlord filed for eviction after the brothers paid $1,860 instead of the required $1860.01, just a one-cent difference. Thankfully, with the help of the union, the brothers were able to "set aside" the order, which allows tenants to contest an eviction after it has been issued. However, the union warns that under the proposed legislation introduced by the Ford government, that option could disappear altogether. The eviction order received by the brothers.
