I don’t even know how I feel still at this moment, I’m still just in shock that this could happen but I’m just glad everyone is safe. He said when he got inside, they were already on the phone with 911. The man said he tried to call 911 but couldn’t immediately get through, and decided to run into a nearby school that his kids attend and tell them to go into lockdown. I don’t speculate and suggest that it’s something similar to what’s happened in the United States….

Monkeypox is transmitted through prolonged face-to-face contact or body contact with an infected individual, even before the onset of symptoms. As the fourth largest city in North America, Toronto is a global leader in technology, finance, film, music, culture and innovation, and consistently places at the top of international rankings due to investments championed by its government, residents and businesses. Close contacts of people suspected or confirmed to have a monkeypox infection are advised to self-monitor for symptoms for 21 days after their last exposure. Monkeypox spreads through contact with body fluids such as fluids from the monkeypox sores, contaminated clothing or bedding, or through respiratory droplets following prolonged face-to-face contact. Individuals lacking an epidemiological link but with the required signs and symptoms including the rash are classified as suspected cases. Four newly-suspected cases of monkeypox were reported to TPH as well.

Loopholes have pushed Toronto rents up faster than inflation; a Toronto champion would close them. There’s a clear plan of action — we just need to follow it.

The Toronto Raptors appear to be interested in Marquette's NBA Draft prospect Justin Lewis who posted an Instagram in Toronto.

He’s not going to create a ton of shots for himself or teammates, but there’s enough ability here to think it can work. He has a long, projectable frame, but doesn’t always put it to use in the flow of the game—if Lewis embraces doing the small stuff, there’s a pathway to him becoming a valuable contributor. "Lewis comes off a breakout sophomore season, in which he emerged as a legitimate perimeter shooter with complementary skills as a rebounder and defender," wrote Woo. "There’s reason to buy his improved jumper, and he fits a viable mold as an athletic, floor-spacing forward (think Trey Murphy in last year’s draft) if he stays on track.

Brett Seney, Josh Ho-Sang, Joseph Blandisi, Jack Kopacka, Rich Clune, Marc Michaelis, Michael Hutchinson and Teemu Kivihalme will all be UFA's come July 13.

Every player wants to be in the NHL and I’m not sure it matters to him if it’s Toronto or not. He would, though, be a good veteran player who could work with the younger Marlies, so I would support the decision to bring him back. All eyes were set on Ho-Sang early in the season after he returned home to play in the organization he grew up idolizing. Ultimately, Michaelis only brought in 13 points over the span of this season and Toronto might be looking elsewhere for someone to produce. The 26-year-old spent a majority of the season out with an injury and only played 22 games this year. The most interesting RFA case to me is Chad Krys. He was a steady defenceman for the Marlies throughout their season, but the 24-year-old didn’t turn any heads.
