24 articulos hace 2 horas 11

🚨 Crime & Public Safety

  1. La SIU absuelve a un agente de Toronto que derribó a un ciclista tras un incidente en una señal de pare. La Unidad de Investigaciones Especiales concluyó que el ciclista de 21 años “se expuso a ser arrestado” después de intentar rodear a un agente cerca de Little Norway Park, y los investigadores señalaron un riesgo “moderado” de lesiones; el ciclista recibió luego una multa y fue diagnosticado con una lesión cerebral traumática leve.

  2. Comienza la audiencia de sentencia para Kenneth Law, quien admitió haber ayudado en 14 suicidios en Ontario. Law se declaró culpable de 14 cargos por ayudar al suicidio en Ontario; el tribunal escuchará 74 declaraciones de impacto de las víctimas y los fiscales planean retirar cargos de asesinato relacionados tras la sentencia.

  3. Agente gravemente herido en tiroteo frente a sinagoga de Belleville; presunto atacante murió. El agente Jeff Smith permanecía en el hospital en condición crítica pero estable tras recibir un disparo fuera de la sinagoga Sons of Jacob durante Yom Kippur; el presunto tirador, Sean Ward, de 29 años, falleció en el hospital y la SIU investiga.

  4. Reabren calles tras incendio matutino en Carlaw y Eastern avenues, este de Toronto. Bomberos extinguieron el fuego después de que los equipos acudieran alrededor de las 6:30 a. m.; la policía informó que no hubo heridos y reabrió Carlaw Avenue una vez despejada la zona.

🏥 Health

  1. El consumo de opioides entre adultos mayores de Ontario aumentó 81% desde 2017, según informe. La Ontario Drug Policy Research Network y Unity Health Toronto señalaron que aproximadamente 1 de cada 350 adultos mayores en Ontario tenía trastorno por uso de opioides; las personas de 55 años o más que buscaron atención por ese trastorno se duplicaron de 7,116 en 2017 a 15,231 en 2025, y las muertes relacionadas con opioides entre adultos mayores subieron de 1.1 por 100,000 en 2013 a 1.8 por 100,000 en 2024.

  2. Los fondos de emergencia provinciales para hogares de cuidados a largo plazo en Ontario crecieron hasta alcanzar millones anuales. Datos obtenidos por acceso a la información muestran que el fondo para “hogares en dificultades” pagó 2.4 millones en 2021-22 y aumentó a sumas mayores en 2022-23, cuando más residencias requirieron pagos extraordinarios para resolver problemas agudos de flujo de caja.

🎨 Community & Culture

  1. El festival tecnológico Elevate de Toronto cambia de marca a Nrth y anuncia expansión. Los organizadores anunciaron el cambio de nombre en la apertura de la conferencia, dijeron que el festival de tres días celebrará eventos con mayor frecuencia a partir de 2027 y confirmaron ponentes como Kyle Lowry y Arlene Dickinson.

  2. El Zoológico de Toronto pide votos para nombrar a una cría de wombat de nariz peluda del sur. El zoológico informó que la cría es hembra, la votación cierra el 30 de septiembre y la especie puede vivir décadas, con un ejemplar de 34 años registrado en el zoológico en 2016.

🏈 Sports

  1. Los Raptors confirman extensión multianual para Kawhi Leonard tras su regreso a Toronto. El equipo anunció que Leonard firmó una extensión multianual que informes sitúan en 2 años y 115 millones, con una opción del jugador para 2028-29; la extensión comenzará cuando finalice su actual contrato de tres años por 149.5 millones.

  2. Los salarios de la NHL se dispararon esta intertemporada con el tope en 104 millones. El tope salarial subirá a 104 millones para 2026-27 desde 95.5 millones la temporada pasada, y varias jóvenes promesas obtuvieron contratos récord, incluido un supuesto contrato por cinco años y 90 millones para Leo Carlsson.
