Lingguhang Balita ng Toronto — 30 Marso–5 Abril 2026

50 artikulo Nabuo 1 araw ang nakalipas 15
  1. [2427] Tinawag si PM Mark Carney na mag-sorry sa Grassy Narrows matapos niyang sabihing “maaari ko siyang ‘outlast’” sa isang nagprotesta tungkol sa mercury — pinangangambahan ng mga lokal na lider at mambabatas ang kawalang-galang.
  2. [2428] Nag-aalalang ang transit union ng TTC na ang planong pagpapalawak ng fare integration ng probinsya ay magbibigay ng malalaking kapangyarihan sa Ministro ng Transportasyon at maaaring maging pabigat sa Toronto.
  3. [2429] Binabahala ng Unifor ang posibilidad na gawing halatang assembly-only plant ang pabrika ng Stellantis sa Brampton para sa Chinese EV Leapmotor — mababa ang trabaho sa lokal na supply chain at dating naapektuhan ~3,000 manggagawa.
  4. [2430] Plano ng Ford government na mag-appoint ng regional chairs na may “strong chair” powers at binawasan ang bilang ng mga councillors sa Niagara (32→12) at Simcoe (32→17).
  5. [2444] Kinumpirma ni Michael Ford na hindi siya tatakbo para sa pagka-mayor ng Toronto ngayong Oktubre.
  6. [2415] World Cup sa Toronto: Canada vs Bosnia sa Hunyo 12; survey nagpapakita 9 sa 10 turista balak bumisita rin sa labas ng lungsod at may mga sobrang mahal na resale ticket (hal., humigit-kumulang $1,961).
  7. [2445] Mississauga itinigil ang pagtaas ng mga international flag sa city hall at magbibigay ng libreng Canadian flag sa mga bagong residente na may patunay ng address.
  8. [2432] OPP naghahanap ng maraming tao matapos mag-akyat ang mga tagahanga sa boards at magbasag ng glass sa rink sa Bracebridge (26 Mar).
  9. [2433] Hindi nagbibigay ng komento ang Attorney General ng Ontario tungkol sa panawagan ni Premier Ford na dapat humingi ng paumanhin ang isang hukom sa kasong Umar Zameer — usapin ng judicial independence.
  10. [2434] Raptors natalo sa Sacramento 123-115; RJ Barrett nanguna sa 20 puntos at bumagsak ang Toronto sa 7th sa East.
  11. [2399] Mga bagong graduate sa Canada nahihirapang makahanap ng trabaho — youth unemployment humigit-kumulang 14% at maraming employer naghahanap ng karanasan.
  12. [2380] Tumataas ang minimum wage sa maraming probinsiya; Ontario magtatakda ng $17.95/ora simula Oktubre 1, ngunit marami ang nagsasabing kulang pa rin para sa cost of living.
  13. [2355] Tinanggal ng Maple Leafs si GM Brad Treliving; sinimulan ni MLSE boss Keith Pelley ang paghahanap ng bagong data-driven leadership.
  14. [2400] Tumaas ang sahod ng mga MPP sa Ontario ng 4.2% mula Abril 1 — backbenchers aabot sa $163,959 — na hindi gusto ng maraming tao.
  15. [2413] Lumabas na may nagbabagang email: pinayuhan ang gobyerno na “i-dig deeper” sa financials ng Therme bago pirmahan ang lease sa Ontario Place; gobyerno sinabing pasado ang mga check.
  16. [2414] Pinatindi ng Toronto at York police ang patrols sa paligid ng mga Jewish worship at gathering places para sa Passover (magsisimula Miyerkules ng gabi), kasama rotating command posts.
  17. [2387] PEI at Nunavut ibinaba ang screening age para sa colorectal cancer sa 45; BC at iba pa nagsusuri at Ontario nag-evaluate.
  18. [2402] Ontario ay hindi magbibigay ng billing codes sa nurse practitioners pero target na isama sila sa public system; na-miss ang federal deadline.
  19. [2403] Ikalima na arestado kaugnay ng 2021 Bolton homicide; may dalawang suspects pa na hinahanap at $50,000 reward umiiral.
  20. [2404] Nagtayo ang OPP ng billboard malapit sa Orangeville para humingi ng impormasyon tungkol sa pagkamatay ni David Robson noong 1 Abril 2024; nawawala pa rin ang 2017 Kia Sportage (plate DAMZ 252).
  21. [2405] Tatlong tao patay at dalawa malubhang nasugatan sa banggaan ng transport truck at SUV sa Norwich Township — mga biktima kabilang ang 13 at 17 taong gulang, at ang driver 39.
  22. [2416] Arestado ang 27-anyos na lalaki na pinaghihinalaang sinunog ang isang sasakyan sa University of Toronto St. George campus — walang naaksidente.

  24. [2364] Nakakita ang York Regional Police ng mga nakatagong camera na ginamit ng mga magnanakaw para i-scout ang mga bahay sa Vaughan — mag-ingat at i-report ang kahina-hinalang bagay.
  25. [2366] Dalawang matatanda namatay sa isang bahay na nasunog sa Anthia Drive (North York) bandang 4 a.m.; imbestigasyon nagpapatuloy at wala indikasyon ng sinadyang krimen.
  26. [2362] Pinangalanan ng Toronto Zoo ang bagong Masai giraffe calf na “Imara” — ipinanganak 22 Pebrero at pinili mula sa ~23,000 boto.
  27. [2368] Sa paglilitis ni Frank Stronach, sinabi ng hukom na hindi maaaring husgahan ang isa sa mga kaso dahil tinuring na “hindi mapagkakatiwalaan” ang testigo; proseso nagpapatuloy.
  28. [2408] Naghahain ang Crown ng apela sa Court of Appeal ng Ontario para i-overturn ang bail ng abogado na si Deepak Paradkar sa kasong kaugnay ni Ryan Wedding.
  29. [2352] Isang taon simula binuksan ang HART Hubs, sinasabi ng mga tagapagsulong na kulang pa rin ang aktuwal na serbisyo sa addiction at marami ang nasa waiting list para sa mga treatment bed.
  30. [2353] Inaresto ng US DHS si Adrian Walker (nasa 25 Most Wanted ng Canada) sa Tupelo, Mississippi noong 23 Marso dahil sa illegal entry at ilegal na pagmamay-ari ng baril; may active warrants sa Toronto.
