A 3-year-old boy and his father were taken to hospital after a car driven by a third man slammed into a utility pole at Avenue Road and Roselawn Ave. Saturday morning about 8.30. The boy is said to have life-threatening injuries. He is at the Hospital for Sick Children. The third man, who was also the driver, is said to be uninjured. It appears the toddler was wearing a seat belt but was not in a car seat at the time of the collision.

Homicide detective sergeant Mike Carbone has confirmed a connection between the deaths of three people in Scarborough Thursday to the evacuation of a condominium on Queen’s Quay because of a suspicious package earlier in the day. The detective was feeling pressed by the need to pursue the investigation as he took time to talk to reporters on Lawndale Road in southeastern Scarborough near the scene of what has been described as three killings by crossbow. Two men and a woman are dead and fourth person injured — but details are slow to come. Carbone said police were processing the crime scene at 10 Lawndale to try to make sense of what had happened. He suggested the fourth person injured in the Lawndale incident may have serious injuries. He repeated his concern that police are “four hours into the investigation” with the intent of explaining why he does not have more information to share  

 

People are getting a good look by daylight after buildings were destroyed, trees uprooted and some minor injuries in a tornado swept into LaSalle from the Detroit River and touched down several times in Windsor on Wednesday evening. The Toronto Sun reports that at around 7:20 p.m. Kathy Hanson, a secretary at Manor Realty on Walker Road, was looking out the front window to see if the rain had let up as real estate agent Maria Franzoi was about to leave for an appointment. “I backed up to the desk and I saw a tree fly by and the front door blew open,” said Hanson.

As the death toll in the Central Italian earthquake stood at 250, with every expectation it will push even higher, survivors of Wednesday’s disaster were living through aftershocks. One reached 4.5 magnitude.. The shallow quake, estimated to have struck after 3:30 a.m. at a depth of six miles, was felt across a broad section of Central Italy, including the capital Rome where people in homes in the historic centre felt a long swaying followed by aftershocks. BBC reporter James Reynolds reports (above) from the badly damaged town of Amatrice near Rieti on the  desperate search for survivors. BBC before and after pictures  .

 

Third quarter results show again why so many people invest by buying Canadian bank stocks and then more or less forget about their money. Toronto-Dominion Bank has reported a quarterly profit of $2.6 billion, the Royal Bank announced $2.7 billions in quarterly profit and the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce $1.44 billion.

Health Canada is recalling 5,787 Step n Go Travel System strollers because a tray folding mechanism can partially disengage on one side when an infant car seat is attached. That represents a falling hazard says Health Canada. .Dorel Juvenile Canada of Mississauga, the distributor, has eight complaints about the trays disengaging but there are no reports of injuries. Health Canada says anyone who owns one of these strollers should stop using it with a car seat attached and contact the company for a free repair kit. Three models are affected, identified as 01451CCYA, 01451CDGI and 01451CDGJ. The numbers are on a sewn-in label at the back of the stroller.

It seems to be good news in several ways that the RCMP will permit female members to wear a specialized hijab if they choose. It will be easy for some to miss the point of this important change. They will construe it as merely as sop to Muslim society. It is much more than that. No woman — Muslim or otherwise — can be a Mountie unless she is mentally and physically ready for the job. And the job will require her to be entirely integrated, proactive and ready to deal capably with Canadians whose backgrounds may be different from hers. Perfect. It reveals in sharp contrast the narrowness of the world in which some of the sisters of these Muslim Mounties are living. It is their right of course. But how much better it is for Muslim women in tailored hijabs to be cops, hockey forwards (under the helmet) criminal lawyers and bicycle racers. In the RCMP case, the hijab option has been fully tested by the RCMP and any woman wanting to wear it must get permission.  And like the Toronto Police Service hijab, it must fit under a standard issue police cap.
