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.

Water quality tests data shows elevated lead levels in Toronto homes | Toronto Star

Councillor Karen Stintz (Ward 16, Eglinton-Lawrence), a mayoral candidate whose riding had an 18-per-cent failure rate on nearly 1,000 tests, said financial incentives for homeowners who want to replace their lead pipes is worth consideration. “If that’s the reason people aren’t replacing the pipes, then I think we have an obligation to look at that,” she said. “People expect that when they turn on their taps, the water is safe to drink. It’s a reasonable expectation and one we need to make sure we deliver on.”

Trump, Clinton and the urban-rural divide

Ever since the #amalgamation, #Toronto has its own culture clash, pitting suburbanites vs downtown core hipsters on issues such as social housing and public transportation. It is therefore useful to see how this culture clash plays South of the border.

Mammoliti found again to have flaunted rules

Not long ago, many pundits were shocked to see former Conservative MP Dean Del Mastro in handcuffs after having been found guilty of running afoul of election spending rules. In our beloved City of Toronto, a similarly ignoramus of ethical rules gets a mere slap on his wrists, where the handcuffs should have been.
