Shamsa’s story, Rachel’s “Shorts” and Avery’s kitchen knives

Faces, faces. And this post begins with Shamsa Al Balush, the woman who survived a nasty shove onto subway tracks last Sunday. “I’m terrified,” Shamsa told CP24. “The way I felt, the way I was pushed, is just crazy.” We couldn’t agree more. Then there’s Global News gal Rachel Gilmore who employs YouTube’s newly-adopted app with phone-shaped images called Shorts. It’s an anti-TikTok thing. Rachel says you may be further ahead to rent than buy but many comments seem to doubt that. Lastly, we see plucky teenager Avery Cormier who chased a burglar out of her mom’s home with a pair of kitchen knives. Then she had the wits to turn on a camera that recorded the guy’s truck. He’s in jail.
