Sinabi ni Premier Doug Ford sa mga mamamahayag nu’ng Biyernes na kailangang isauli ng mga miyembrong nag-bill ng hotel ang mga gastos; ang pagbibitiw ni Cho ay sumunod sa mga ulat na ilang PC MPP ang nag-bill ng libo-libo para sa mga kwarto sa Toronto sa loob ng tatlong taon.

  2. Naantala ang plano gawing community hub ang lupa sa Toronto dahil sa hindi pagkakasundo sa pagmamay-ari. Nakabawas sa takbo ng proyekto ang di-pagkakasundo ng mga stakeholder kung sino ang legal na may-ari ng lupa, kaya nahinto muna ang pag-develop ng community hub.
  3. Ibinahagi ng tatlong mag-aaral sa Toronto kung paano nila nakuha ang 100% average.

  2. Sinuspinde ng isang laro ang coach ng Toronto Tempo, Sandy Brondello, dahil sa hindi angkop na pahayag tungkol kay Angel Reese.

🌦️ Panahon at Mga Daan

  1. Patuloy na pinahihirapan ng usok mula sa wildfire ang Toronto; inaasahang pansamantala lang ang pagbuti. Ipinagpatuloy ng Environment Canada ang orange na babala sa kalidad ng hangin habang iniwan ng usok mula sa mga sunog sa northwestern Ontario ang hangin ng Toronto na “napakasamang kalagayan,” at nagbabala ang mga opisyal na ang pansamantalang pagbuti ay maaaring bumalik sa mahihinang kondisyon papasok ang katapusan ng linggo.
  2. Pansamantalang naglabas at nag-angat ng tornado warnings para sa bahagi ng southern Ontario kabilang ang Milton, Mississauga at Oakville. Naglabas ang Environment Canada ng tornado warning bandang 12:20 p.m. para sa isang bagyo sa silangan ng Milton na kumikilos timog-silangan sa bilis na 40 km/h, at kalaunan ay inangat ang babala nang humupa ang kondisyon.
