A rather nightmarish tale is being told by a Vancouver woman, Nina Chung, 35, of how she purchased an Air Canada ticket to Hong Kong online, paid for it and then found out by accident that Air Canada had cancelled it and refunded the money to her card. More than that, when her husband tried to find out what was gong on, the Air Canada chat service said any explanation would require a trip to Vancouver airport. What service. The tale is one of many told in a CBC story. The issues are several as well. A number of people have had online purchases cancelled without notification according to writer Eric Rankin. But Air Canada flyers will readily recognize the company’s notorious aversion to human contact. CBC

The third London truck and knife attacker, now dead, is named as Youssef Zaghba. a London restaurant worker. He has been described as being of joint Moroccan and Italian heritage with a mother currently living in Bologna by Italian media. He is said to have been previously unknown to British police who were told in recent hours of his existence by Italian police. Zaghba is also reported to have been stopped last year while trying to reach Syria by catching a flight to Turkey. Yesterday the Metropolitan Police in London named two of the other three London Bridge terrorists – Khuram Butt and Rachid Redouane, both from Barking – who with Zaghba butchered people in Borough Market on Saturday night.

The stark contrast between the decency of Chrissy Archibald and terrorist killer Khuram Butt is well-demonstrated in these two videos from the BBC and the UK’s Channel 4. Two attackers were named by London Police Monday. They reveal the trademark hatred which passes for religious piety among such men. Many say it is the widepsread instructon of hatred must be targeted.

Spring is celebrated Saturday, June 17 by the merchants of the Bayview Leaside BIA. Check the interactive poster. The children’s corner at Bayview and Hillsdale Ave. with music and games is a nice idea.

Here we are with a member of the TFS from Station 321 on McRae Drive overlooking Macnaughton Rd. and Cameron Crescent on Saturday. The gang below is enjoying the annual street party. The photographer borrowed a professional camera and climbed the ladder to “rescue” these great shots. The nice view of the City shows St. Anselm’s on the left. The geographic focus of the party is Father Caulfield Park, named after the first priest who ministered to the parish back in the late 1930s.

Such is the life of the Prime Minister. He took selfies with Ryan Seacrest and Kelly Ripa Monday morning as he appeared on “Live with Kelly and Ryan”. The American daytime TV show is in Niagara Falls for two episodes.

British Airways now says that the costly shutdown of its ticketing and reservation systems in late May was caused by — wait for it — someone flipping off the switch on the power to its computer. Hundreds of canceled flights were the result of this thoughtful attempt to save the airline a dime or two on power. According to The Times, it’s apparently that easy to take down an entire airline. It says the airline’s investigation first centered on whether or not the data centers’ power supply unit was working correctly. Ultimately, the airline concluded that there wasn’t anything wrong with the power supply, other than a human had turned it off.

Toronto Real Estate Board figures show home sales dropped 20.3 per cent in May compared to May last year even as prices continued to climb. The board says the average selling price for all properties in May was $863,910, an increase of 14.9 per cent from the same month last year. Sales of detached homes, which had an average selling price of $1,141,041, fell by 26.3 per cent in the GTA. The drop is attributed to the Ontario government’s foreign buyer tax which is said to apply only to speculators, not immigrants. Just how that distinction is made is not very clear but there seems no doubt that the intended effect of slowing sales has kicked in. Just how much it will slow price increases however seems an unknown.
