Ankle shot at Jane and Finch

A man was shot in the ankle at Jane and Finch on Thursday night.

Luckily, this time the victim made a full recovery.

One man has been taken to hospital after a shooting in the Jane and Finch area.
Police were called to 22 Frith Road, west of Jane Street, for a report of shots fired at 10:49 p.m. Thursday night.
Upon arrival they found a 28-year-old man on Frith Road suffering from a gunshot wound to his ankle, Const. Jenniferjit Sidhu said. He has since been treated and released from hospital.
Two suspects were seen fleeing the scene of the shooting on foot, Sidhu said. Two vehicles, a car and an SUV, were seen leaving the area after the shooting.
A search of the area lead police to find multiple shell casings on Frith Road and Grey Friar Court. A person who lives on the court told police a bullet had whizzed through their window and lodged itself in a wall. However, nobody was injured.

Hopefully, the beginning of a downward trend of crime in our neighbourhood and an upward tick in victim survival.

De-amalgamation - the growing desideratum

It is no secret that Toronto’s amalgamation, perpetrated by the Conservatives, happened against the will of the voters. In Montreal it happened on the same oppositional background under the Liberals. Two decades later, it is clear that the cost savings that were supposed to happen did not, we still do not have a harmonized legislation and corruption has increased, while representation and local democracy weakened.

TPA blames Police Chief Mark Saunders

The story of police understaffing has been somehow dominating the headlines for quite a while. Although there are far more police per capita in Toronto than in London for instance, Toronto police officers are reportedly so “demoralized” that they took a symbolic vote against Chief Mark Saunders.
