Lisa Barton lives in the Mt. Pleasant St. Clair area and she tells The Bulldog about a suspicious man who came to the front door of her house about 9.30 a.m. last Thursday looking for a key under the doormat. Needless to say, she has reported it to the police. Her security system took this picture of the unknown man. Everyone please watch carefully.
Environment Canada is warning of another dump of snow early in the week from a Colorado low could dump 5 to 10 cm of snow across the region and much of southern Ontario. It could begin Monday night and carry on into Tuesday.. Because temperatures are going up, the snow will likely turn to rain later Tuesday. The statement from EC says: “There may be a significant impact to the Tuesday morning commute and possibly the afternoon one as well for regions where the change to rain occurs later.” Toronto currently sits under an extreme cold weather alert issued by the City, with temperatures of -18 C with the wind chill. But the mercury will flirt with freezing — minus 3, 2, 2 and 5 for the first four days of the week.
The cold weather is expected to return on Friday, with a low of -14 C.

They were at Morningside Avenue and Sheppard Avenue just after 9 p.m. Saturday when the incident occurred. The police car appears to be sandwiched between the car which had been stopped and the rear-ending car.

Here is what Chris E. Small saw and heard at the top of a high tension hydro pole about noon today on Orton Park Rd. near Ellesmere Ave. She called hydro and in due course a bucket truck was there with rescuers in charge. Back on the ground the well-marbled Tabby did what any cat would do. Look at you like nothing ever happened.

The man with the camera says “Here we go, here we go” as he see how cars and trucks are speeding into disaster on the weekend. Highway 401 reopened overnight Sunday after the long closure because of snow and accidents Saturday. Both lanes of the highway were closed between Mill Street and Liberty Street There were crashes involving as many as 100 vehicles. Environment Canada said two to four centimetres of snow could fall on the Highway 401 between Bowmanville and Port Hope.
These are images from a truly frightening video taken by one of three women in a car which was blocked and forced to stop on Highway 427 last Wednesday. The man and his friend seen above in video photo captures shows a person who was close to apoplectic because the women had been driving only ten kms over the speed limit in the left lane of the highway. That’s right, they were travelling at 110. This was slow enough in the mind of the man and a passenger that they got out of the car not once but three times and launched an avalanche of vulgar abuse. The matter has been reported and in a Facebook update the woman motorist, Bella Brant, says the case is now being handled as a criminal matter by the OPP. One would hope so. The video is very dark but it can be seen and heard, along with the offensive language, on the Facebook page here. Among things seen on these captures enhanced by The South Bayview Bulldog is the license plate of the car, one man’s mustache, a jacket with the New York Yankees logo on the back and a red toque.
Who goes to Starbucks to drink pinot noir and eat truffle mac and cheese? Not many people, apparently. The company is nixing its “Evenings” program in the U.S. that brought beer, wine, and small plates to more than 400 stores. For reasons not stated, the program will continue in Toronto at three stores which were designated in 2016. The closest of these of 1740 Avenue Road at St. Germain Ave. Others are at 446 Spadina and 3074 Bloor St. West. Starbucks first tested the Evenings endeavor in 2010, and the company began rolling it out cross the U.S. in 2014. The Evenings menu includes items such as bacon-wrapped dates and spinach-artichoke dip alongside craft beer and wines — with Eater.
