The South Bayview Bulldog

Here are four videos which include ongoing sinister threats that if you upset Donald Trump “that’s going to cost a lot of money for the people of Canada.” Godfather stuff. We also hear from Trump aide Peter Navarro apologizing for his “place in Hell” clanger as well as former Prime Minister Mulroney who says this situation is serious but not necessarily lethal. He concedes he has never seen language like this.

Don’t worry, it was a friendly visit!  TPS PC Clint Stibbe and PC Caroline De Kloet are seen here in an Instagram photo posing with Andy Elder, proprietor of Grilltime Meat Shop on Laird Drive, in Leaside.

• North Korea commits to denuclearization at summit, Trump says

Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un have shaken hands in Singapore and begun their historic meeting. Trump has said he will walk away if necessary but no one quite knows what’s necessary. Kim has to be having the time of his life. We know his taste in company is satisfied by a giggle or two with Dennis Rodman. Meanwhile, the Trump White House has characterized Canada’s objections to steel and aluminium tariffs as an attempt to make the President look weak prior to this meeting. It cannot be a big leap to blame Ottawa if the meeting is a disaster.

Erin Parsons has been awarded the second annual Ian Shaw Memorial Scholarship by the Toronto Leaside Girls Hockey Association. Erin has been an active member of the Leaside ice hockey and Withrow ball hockey community for a number of years, as both a player and as an official (ref). Board member Mark Schrutt said Erin has acted as a great ambassador and role model in Leaside. The award was given by the late Mr. Shaw’s daughter Jennifer with members of the association present at Leaside Arena. The first such scholarship was given in 2017 to recognize and reward a young woman’s commitment to hockey, community and education. It is named in the memory of long-time board member and referee-in-chief Ian Shaw and is funded by his family. The annual scholarship recognizes a graduating member of the TLGHA who has distinguished herself through her commitment as a player, an official and a member of her community. The scholarship, in the amount of $500, is directed to offset the costs of post-secondary education.

Traffic engineers may have the secret of this crash-ridden corner. It was this way before LRT backups too. Some suggest it is the multiple rights-of-way residing with pedestrians, Bayview traffic and finally east-west traffic. Who knows. This took place Monday.

City News is saying a man has been taken to hospital after he fell off a ladder while working on the roof of a home on Coxwell Blvd. near Barbara Cres. in East York Monday. This is near O’Connor Dr. and Coxwell Ave. He is reported to have extensive injuries.

All 1,110 Canadian Starbucks stores are closed for Monday afternoon as employees receive mandatory anti-bias training, a move prompted by an April incident in which a manager at a store in Philadelphia called the police on two black men who were sitting at a table waiting for a friend to join them before ordering. This effort by Starbucks has inspired an article in the Globe and Mail that appears to explore the challenge of getting inside the human brain and altering not just behaviour, but anything bad that may be lurking there. Canadian Starbucks stores are closing Monday afternoon for anti-bias training. But does this type of education work?

Car wash week has been extended! Visit The Bob Rumball Canadian Centre of Excellence for the Deaf at 2395 Bayview Ave today until 3:45pm or Thursday between 12:30pm – 3:45pm and support their Adult Education Program.
