Sasikaran Thanapalasingam, 38 of Toronto, accused of hacking a woman to death with a machete showed no emotion when he appeared in court on Thursday afternoon.

And...Toronto police are investigating after a man was shot was shot multiple times near Islington Avenue and Rexdale Boulevard on Friday afternoon.
Say... what's different nowadays?
LAST WORD: Hmmm... smells like a clue...Three-hundred and twenty six people charged with firearms offences are free on bail in Toronto today, Chief Mark Saunders revealed Friday as he seeks to redistribute blame for the sudden increase in gun violence in the city over the last seven days.
To paraphrase Joe Rogan... we nerf all the hard corners and sharp edges in this brave new world... and it has come back to bite us on the ass.
