24 artikulo 55 minuto ang nakalipas 5

🏈 Sports

  1. Trayce Jackson‑Davis nagtala ng 23 pero natalo ang Raptors 129-125 sa Detroit. Naka-15 na free throw si Jackson‑Davis at nanguna sa lahat ng scorer habang ang Toronto, na hindi naglaro gamit ang pangunahing rotation, ay natalo sa Pistons sa huling pre-season game noong Oct. 16, 2026; ang Raptors ay 2-3 sa pre-season at magho-host ng Chicago Bulls sa kanilang regular-season home opener sa susunod na Miyerkules.

  2. Pinirmahan ng Raptors ang Canadian guard na si Jalen Celestine mula Ajax. Inanunsyo ng club ang paglagda noong Oct. 16, 2026; ang 6-foot-7 guard ay may average na 8.6 puntos at 23.8 minuto sa 32 laro para sa Cincinnati noong nakaraang season at tumira ng .405 mula sa three-point range, at lumitaw siya sa dalawang laro ng 2026 Summer League para sa Toronto.

  3. Kirill Marchenko nagtala ng hat trick pero natalo ang Maple Leafs 5-4 sa overtime laban sa Buffalo. Nagrekord si Marchenko ng tatlong goal sa kanyang ika-300 NHL game at inamin na siya ang may pagkukulang sa overtime winner ni Owen Power na naiskor 3:14 sa dagdag na oras; pumayag si Marchenko sa isang six-year, US$75 million na kontrata na magsisimula sa 2027 bilang bahagi ng trade noong Sept. 28 na nagpadala kay Matthew Knies sa Columbus.

🚨 Crime & Public Safety

  1. Inilalaan ng York police ang isang puting Mercedes‑Benz Sprinter van sa pamatay‑takbo sa Vaughan. Sinabi ng mga imbestigador na ang babae, isang 60-anyos na caregiver mula Richmond Hill, ay nabangga bandang 8:30 p.m. noong Oct. 4 sa Pine Valley Drive at ang kanyang bangkay ay nakahiga sa gilid ng kalsada ng dalawang araw bago natagpuan; nagpakawala ang pulisya ng security video na nagpapakita ng 2020–2022 puting Sprinter na kumaliwa papasok sa isang kalapit na subdivision at nakakuha sila ng mga debris ng sasakyan sa eksena.

  2. Binigyan ng full parole ang Toronto 18 ringleader na si Zakaria Amara matapos sumailalim sa deradicalization. Napagpasyahan ng dalawang-miyembrong panel ng Parole Board of Canada na ang 41-anyos ay hindi na nagpapakita ng ekstremistang paniniwala at in-upgrade mula sa day parole matapos ang apat na taon; kailangan manirahan si Amara sa kanyang sariling tahanan, magtrabaho ng full time, magpatuloy sa counselling at manatiling ipinagbabawal na makipag-ugnayan sa sinumang sangkot sa mga raid noong 2006.

🏛️ Government & Politics

  1. Karera sa konseho ng Scarborough North: incumbent na si Jamaal Myers laban kina dating MP Han Dong at Shaun Chen. Walong kandidato ang nasa balota sa Ward 23 habang ang konstruksyon ng bagong Scarborough Line subway stop at mga iminungkahing proyekto ng LRT ay nagpapainit sa kompetisyon ng ward; nanalo si Myers noong 2022 pagkatapos ng pagkamatay ni Cynthia Lai at isinusulong niya ang pagkuha ng mas maraming pondo para sa borough.

  2. Waymo magsisimula ng pilot sa Toronto gamit ang drivered tests, target ang passenger service sa 2028. Ayon sa kumpanya, inaprubahan ng Ontario ang partisipasyon nito sa provincial autonomous-vehicle pilot at ang unang yugto ay kabilang ang high-definition mapping at mga test run na may driver ngayong taglagas, na may target na passenger service sa 2028 at ang Element Fleet Management ng Toronto ang magbibigay ng support services.

  3. Naglabas ang Environment Canada ng yellow frost advisory para sa Toronto magdamag hanggang Sabado. Sinabi ng ahensya na inaasahan ang pagyeyelo ngayong gabi hanggang Sabado ng umaga, na ang mga lugar hilaga ng Highway 401 ang pinaka-nalalantad at posible ang pinsala sa mga puno, halaman at pananim.
