NEW from our breaking news team: "Someone is going to get hurt." Recordings of emergency services radio calls captured the chaotic moments leading up to a crash that killed 4 on Highway 401 after a police chase thestar.com/news/gta/someo…
E-bike cyclist dead after being hit by truck driver in Annex thestar.com/news/gta/e-bik… via @TorontoStar - For context: This is the fourth cyclist killed in Toronto this year, and puts the cyclist death toll in the city higher than in the past three years.
“…this incident is representative of a pattern they have seen at schools within the @HaltonDSB, adding that parents, students and staff have previously approached @MACCMuslims about incidents involving anti-Palestinian rhetoric at Halton schools.” #onted thestar.com/news/gta/halto…
THIS IS CRAZY: The instructor confronted three #InternationalStudents about alleged plagiarism. They pleaded with him not to expulse them from school. Instead, he had them line up, then kicked "each student forcefully in the buttocks with his foot." sootoday.com/city-police-be…
A staff member at an Oakville high school was recorded telling a student that his keffiyeh 'reminds' her of Hamas @MACCMuslims executive director told me this is part of a larger pattern of anti-Palestinian racism in schools latest for @TorontoStar thestar.com/news/gta/halto…
now that I have filed a story from the VFS office while waiting for my turn for biometrics, I can confirm that I am indeed a breaking news reporter (with a not-so-great passport)
Was listening to a descendant of a Holocaust survivor retell their story of persecution and when their grandparents moved to Israel and were offered keys to a home - they found plates set on the table. Realizing it was someone's home they immediately saw (con't)
The @TorontoStar’s crime & justice team has been nothing short of phenomenal in covering the Umar Zameer trial & the succession of questions that followed Sunday’s verdict. A 🧵 of Star stories, overseen by an equally talented set of editors which include @EdTubb & @tocudmore:
"Those words gave us hope that Canada is a good country after all"

Poems: outrage. Words: outrage. Keffiyeh: outrage. Babies and children being bombed to death: silence.
Poems: outrage. Words: outrage. Keffiyeh: outrage. Babies and children being bombed to death: silence.
Of all my courtroom moments this shoots to the top “Mr. Zameer, you’re free to go sir,” Justice Anne Molloy told him, “you have my deepest apologies for what you have been through.”
Everyone should watch what Umar Zameer just said outside court as a free man. He thanked his lawyers but he also thanked Canada for not allowing an injustice to happen today.

Not gonna lie, we can tell by the way some of y’all quoting police accounts of protests that you’ve never had to actually cover a protest
man, i took care of myself all my life, moved out at 18, met people, had intellectually rich discussions,made friends, a home out of a random place hundreds of miles away from everything i’d ever known why should i ever feel the need to be validated by anyone else but myself?
so heartening to have been in NY while so many students stood up for palestine and against institutional investment in the arms trade and genocide - prouder still to come back to montreal to see mcgill students doing the same
So damn proud of the whole team behind our impactful reporting on the Greenbelt, nominated for a Michener today!

University of Ottawa Sit-in Day 1 Thread. Sit-in begins April 29th on Tabaret Lawn @12pm, organized by INSAF and PSA, students protest for university divestment from Israeli institutions and businesses, as well as an academic boycott of Israeli post-secondary institutions. 1/?
On my way to campus and I understand the cops are there. It’s only the second day of the protest. Typical McGill.
Carceral U of T know that many of us faculty will defend and protect our students. You have chosen to protect some while risking the wellbeing and liveability of those who demand divestment and a free Palestine.

This reporting is essential because it's rare to see violence in Canada written through the lens of identities that face aggression and racism
