The major news of the week is the closing of a housing project at Jane and Finch.

Social Housing, otherwise known as subsidized housing or TCHC projects is a subject fraught with controversy. Conversely, the news of “upgrading” such apartments at Jane and Finch will be met with various degrees of approval in our community.

A recent gruesome murder around the Jane and Finch area saw a stabbing victim seeking help in the closed Humber River Finch hospital. ERS came to the closed hospital but they were too late – he died of his wounds shortly thereafter. Now Police is asking for the public’s help.

Between a fatal stabbing at Jane and Finch and a condo replacing the Shriners building, the news could be better.

Luckily, nobody died or will have to die this time.

It's hard to imagine, but the same intersection saw 2 drunk drivers colliding with police cars within hours.
