The long time South Bayview shop, Paradox, has hung a sign saying that it is having a closing sale. The business recently changed hands and it appears the new owners are not prepared to carry on. Meantime, the Bayview Clipper (inset) an established local name, has passed on. The Bayview Clipper was located on South Bayview for many years and later re-located to 864 Millwood Road. A new salon is operating at this location now.

Paramedics transfer a baby in an incubator from a damaged ambulance (right) to another on South Bayview at the noon hour Tuesday. The ambulance was apparently in a collision with a Canpar truck, although the precise events are not known. Crew members made a decision to call another ambulance to take the child to hospital rather than risk driving the damaged vehicle, which had a broken side window. This scene was recorded outside Rosie’s restaurant.

Canada is showing frustration with the refugee system that has permitted one of China’s most wanted men to stay here for 11 years. Foreign Minister John Baird today made it clear he has no doubt about the guilt of Lai Changxing (inset) who is accused by China of a multi-million dollar smuggling operation in the southeastern city of Xiamen. As many will know, a principal of Canadian extradition requires the government to receive assurance that the receiving country will not execute the individual. While compassionate, many criticize the idea that Canada should routinely tell other countries who they may execute. It is also said to have made Canada a haven for serious criminals. China has until recently executed those found guilty of many crimes which would not bring the death penalty in countries like the U.S. or other lands where execution is still legal. And although executions have been frequent, there has not yet been a documented case of a miscarriage of justice. Reuters.
