It is a simple fraud as old as time. All it takes is a gullible friend and a lot of larceny. Cops say Fraham Pirbhai has worked this scam 40 times to the tune of $200,000 over a period of six months on Toronto residents. Pirbhai would give them cheques or deposit them into the victims’ account on their behalf The victims believed that the deposited cheques were valid, and provided the man the equivalent of the funds deposited into their account Police believe there may be other victims.

The Toronto Star has found that complaints about garbage pickup are much higher in the City-operated zone east of Yonge Street than they are in the area to the west, where a private contractor collects the trash. The Star apparently looked at 311 complaint calls to City Hall to find the information. It says that in the years since the complete privatization of collection services west of Yonge St. in August 2012, complaints concerning missed residential garbage, green bin, recycling and furniture pickups have declined by 10 per cent in the west. During the same period the number of complaints have risen by 29 per cent in the publicly serviced east. The Star goes on to provide interviews with east enders who say they are fed up with the CUPE unionized service employed in the east. Many recall Mayor Tory’s promise to privatize the east and his reversal for reasons that have never been very clear.

A CBC News crew was interviewing an Ontario police officer as a road-rage incident was happening right behind them. Reporter Neil Herland was speaking with OPP Const. Graham Williamson about a fatal collision on Black Creek Drive in Toronto on a nearby overpass, but shouting interrupted the interview, which was quickly captured by CBC camerawoman Tyna Poulin. “There’s a road-rage incident, just right there,” Herland told the officer, who quickly began yelling to intervene. “Hey! Get back in the car,” Williamson yelled. “Both of you, grow up!” Video is very compelling
As everyone is saying, it had to happen. A driver has been caught with a dummy in the passenger’s seat on the Gardiner Expressway eastbound in a sacred Pan Am Games HOV lane. Horrors. Well, perhaps he shouldn’t have done it. But the imposition being placed on the drivers of Toronto by the provincial government in the name of sports (for heaven’s sake) is offensive to say the least. One would think the army was being moved to defend us against the Russians. We are all being treated like dummies by an officious bureaucracy that has whipped up the police to ticket people (of course) for using their own highways. Mayor Tory begged the government to stop the madness but has now fallen silent one supposes in the face of his obdurate provincial superiors
CBC’s Natalie Kalata puts you straight. Dos and Don’t include very few Dos, except maybe paying.
