James Regan

CBC writer Trevor Dunn chronicles the exploits of James Regan, 62, who has a history of not paying rent while he lives in pleasant places like the second-floor apartment he currently inhabits at Avenue Road and McMaster Ave in the Republic of Rathnelly.  Previously, Mr. Regan has been evicted, in the fullness of time, for failing to pay as much as $25,000 in rent. Now says Robin Ennis, owner of the Avenue Road duplex, she is getting the same treatment. “It’s been a living hell for the past two months,” Ennis said in an interview with CBC News. The matter is being heard by the Ontario Landlord and Tenant Board but an eviction hearing has been delayed because, Regan said, he had not been given proper notice. Legislation permits appeals of eviction orders. They can take as long as eight months to complete during which, on a previous occasion, Mr. Regan paid no rent whatsoever before having to leave. CBC

Yahoo Inc has revealed that information associated with at least 500 million user accounts was stolen from its network in 2014 by what is believes was a “state-sponsored actor”. No further details of the perpetrator have been given. The company says personal data including names, email addresses, telephone numbers, dates of birth and hashed passwords may have been stolen. The size of this breach and Yahoo’s easy-going response — it has been two years — speaks about the firm’s wobbly status and the need for a rescue plan. As reported here, the planned takeover by Verizon is being questioned.

Vero Trattoria at 1580 Bayview Ave. has been closed by the landlord. The bailiff visited Thursday, September 22, 2016. The notice states there are arrears in the rent of nearly $51,000.

It’s October 20.

A London Ontario court has heard the case of a 10-year-old immigrant boy who was denied freedom to play, schooling, adequate food or even. it seems, clean clothes. The Canadian Press story has no information about where the lad was from when he landed in this country two years ago to live with his aunt and uncle. No names of any kind are given. It is another astonishing instance of a child being treated in the most unconscionable way by people who are not the parents. Were they motivated by an aberration? Cruelty, poverty or utter ignorance? We don’t know. The aunt and uncle were sentenced Wednesday to 18 months in jail and two years of probation for their dereliction and abuse. They have apologized to the court and to the boy for his treatment. He was found wearing urine-stained pajama after an anonymous tip brought the CAS to the door. He was seen in silhouette inside and police were called.
