🏈 Sports

  1. Trayce Jackson‑Davis a marqué 23 points, mais les Raptors ont perdu 129-125 à Détroit. Jackson‑Davis a réussi 15 lancers francs et dominé les marqueurs alors que Toronto, qui n’a pas aligné sa rotation principale, s’est incliné face aux Pistons lors du dernier match de pré‑saison le 16 octobre 2026; les Raptors affichent un dossier de 2-3 en pré‑saison et recevront les Bulls de Chicago pour l’ouverture de la saison régulière à domicile mercredi prochain.

  2. Les Raptors signent le Canadien Jalen Celestine, originaire d’Ajax. Le club a annoncé la signature le 16 octobre 2026; l’arrière de 2,01 m a présenté une moyenne de 8,6 points et 23,8 minutes en 32 matchs à Cincinnati la saison dernière, a tiré à 40,5 % à trois points, et a joué deux rencontres de la Ligue d’été 2026 pour Toronto.

  3. Kirill Marchenko a inscrit un triplé, mais les Maple Leafs ont perdu 5-4 en prolongation contre Buffalo. Marchenko a marqué trois buts lors de son 300e match dans la LNH et a reconnu être fautif sur le but vainqueur d’Owen Power, inscrit à 3 min 14 s de la prolongation; Marchenko a conclu un contrat de six ans d’un montant de 75 millions de dollars qui débutera en 2027, dans le cadre de l’échange du 28 septembre ayant envoyé Matthew Knies à Columbus.

🚨 Criminalité et sécurité publique

  1. La police de York identifie une fourgonnette Mercedes‑Benz Sprinter blanche dans la collision mortelle avec délit de fuite à Vaughan. Les enquêteurs indiquent que la femme, une aidante de 60 ans de Richmond Hill, a été heurtée vers 20 h 30 le 4 octobre sur Pine Valley Drive et que son corps est resté en bord de route pendant deux jours avant d’être découvert; la police a diffusé une vidéo de surveillance montrant une Sprinter blanche de 2020–2022 tournant vers un lotissement voisin et a retrouvé des débris de véhicule sur les lieux.

  2. Le chef du réseau Toronto 18, Zakaria Amara, obtient la libération conditionnelle complète après déradicalisation. Une formation de deux membres de la Commission des libérations conditionnelles du Canada a estimé que l’homme de 41 ans ne manifeste plus de croyances extrémistes et l’a élevé de la libération conditionnelle de jour à la libération conditionnelle complète après quatre ans; Amara doit vivre dans son propre domicile, travailler à temps plein, poursuivre sa thérapie et rester interdit de contacter quiconque lié aux descentes de 2006.

🏛️ Gouvernance et politique

  1. La course au conseil de Scarborough North oppose le titulaire Jamaal Myers aux anciens députés Han Dong et Shaun Chen. Huit candidats figurent sur le bulletin dans le quartier 23 alors que la construction d’une nouvelle station de métro de la Scarborough Line et les projets proposés de tramway léger rendent la circonscription plus disputée; Myers avait remporté la victoire en 2022 après le décès de Cynthia Lai et fait campagne pour obtenir davantage de ressources pour l’arrondissement.

  2. Waymo lancera un projet pilote à Toronto avec des essais supervisés et vise un service passagers en 2028. L’entreprise indique que l’Ontario a approuvé sa participation au projet pilote provincial sur véhicules autonomes et que la première phase comprendra de la cartographie haute définition et des essais avec conducteur présent cet automne, le service passagers étant visé pour 2028, avec le soutien des services d’Element Fleet Management de Toronto.

  3. Environnement Canada émet un avis de gel jaune pour Toronto pendant la nuit jusqu’à samedi. L’agence prévoit des températures de gel cette nuit et jusqu’à samedi matin, les zones au nord de l’autoroute 401 étant les plus à risque, avec des dommages possibles aux arbres, aux végétaux et aux cultures.
