This is convenient timing for the two Toronto byelections on April 13, but what the TTC really needs is more operational funding, not just these relatively small infrastructure investments. Operating budget is $3B annually, capital budget is $17B over next 10 years.

On Sunday, a man assaulted a *child* walking with his family, hurling Islamophobic insults at them and asking, "did the Liberals bring you here?" He was charged, but @TorontoPolice didn't put out a news release, so no media coverage. This is how they manufacture the narrative.

"At the conclusion of the trial, the Toronto Police Chief declared that: 'we were hoping for a different outcome.'  To achieve that result, the police investigators appointed themselves judge and jury and retried the case by accepting novel theories never tested at trial."

@DropSiteNews Would be interesting to confirm what exactly happened to this Cuba-bound ship that led to it turning around mid-Atlantic a few weeks ago. Seems likely it was the US Navy. shippingmatters.ca/russian-oil-ta…

⛽ Russian oil shipments head to Cuba as blackout highlights crisis Two vessels carrying Russian oil and fuel are expected to arrive in Cuba within days, which would be the first energy deliveries in three months despite U.S. pressure to cut supplies, FT reported. One tanker is carrying gas, while another holds roughly 100,000 tons of crude. The shipments come after a nationwide blackout and worsening shortages across the island. Cuba’s last delivery was an oil shipment from Mexico on January 9, before flows were halted under U.S. pressure, while supplies from Venezuela have also stopped.

Israel is preparing to deploy the “Gaza model” in Lebanon in plain sight — mass ethnic cleansing, annihilation of entire cities and villages, long-term occupation, and perhaps eventually Israeli settlements and annexation. My latest in the Guardian. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

An Israeli airstrike struck an apartment building in central Beirut, on Wednesday. The Israeli army had warned residents to evacuate about an hour before completely flattening it as day broke.

@martinelli_jim @fordnation @TorontoPolice @nurdogandiyorki Hi @martinelli_jim could you send me a message about this? Would be good to get more info, see about reporting on it.

@fordnation So, because of you, the man with glasses (a counter-demonstrator) in the photos below was pepper-spraying peaceful demonstrators as they were leaving the Al-Quds Day rally. This happened on Bay Street near the Marriott hotel. @TorontoPolice @nurdogandiyorki

My message to the federal government is clear: If you want to help us protect women and vulnerable people from violent crime, then legalize pepper spray for self-defence.

Saved you a click and ALSO the realest shit he’s ever done

(Reuters) - Cuba has reconnected its electrical grid across much of the island, the Energy and Mines Ministry said early on Tuesday, just hours after U.S. President Donald Trump escalated his rhetoric against the communist-run island, saying he could do anything he wanted with Cuba. Cuba's national electric grid collapsed on Monday, leaving about 10 million people without power amid a U.S.-imposed oil blockade that has crippled the island's already obsolete generation system. Energy officials said they had reconnected the grid from westernmost Pinar del Rio province to Holguin, near the eastern tip of the island. Santiago de Cuba, the country's second-largest city, remained offline, the reports said. Electricity generation, hampered by fuel shortages and antiquated power plants, remains sharply depressed across the island despite grid recovery efforts, providing scarce relief for Cubans already exhausted from months of blackouts. Most Cubans, including those in the capital Havana, were seeing 16 or more hours of blackout daily even before the latest grid collapse, testing the patience of residents accustomed to hardship. "It affects every aspect of our lives," said Havana resident Carlos Montes de Oca, who said the outages had thrown simple necessities such as food and water supply into disarray. "All we can do is sit, wait, read a book... otherwise the stress gets to you."

Finally got asked by OPP didn't contact Zameer or the judge while putting the report together, Demkiw says the report is about allegations of collusion among TPS members.

"This report is about exonerating our members" - TPS chief Demkiw.

Seeing the Toronto Police Association president is speaking alongside police chief Demkiw at today's presser about the new OPP report on the Umar Zameer / Jeffrey Northrup case makes me think the officers aren't facing serious consequences. But who knows! tps.ca/media-centre/n…
