🚨 Criminalité et sécurité publique

  1. Deux succursales d’une même chaîne de boulangeries appartenant à des Juifs vandalisées; des détonations ciblent le commerce de Yonge et St. Clair. La police de Toronto indique qu’une fenêtre de Kiva’s Bagel Bar (Yonge St. et St. Clair Ave W.) présentait des traces de tirs vers 8 h 12, tandis qu’une succursale sur Steeles Ave W. avait une vitre brisée vers 8 h 30; aucun blessé n’a été signalé et les unités des crimes haineux et armes et gangs sont saisies du dossier.

  3. Enseignant de musique de Markham accusé d’infractions sexuelles impliquant une mineure. La police régionale de York a déposé des accusations le 23 juillet pour ingérence sexuelle, exploitation sexuelle et agression sexuelle après qu’une victime alléguée a signalé une relation sexuelle débutant en 2022 lorsqu’elle avait 15 ans; les enquêteurs estiment que l’accusé pourrait avoir enseigné ailleurs dans la grande région de Toronto et invitent d’autres victimes potentielles à se manifester.

  4. Joueur de la NFL Isaiah Adams accusé dans une enquête à Durham après la saisie d’une arme à feu et de fentanyl présumé. La police régionale de Durham a arrêté Adams, 25 ans, le 17 juillet et l’a accusé de possession d’une arme à feu obtenue par un crime et d’infractions connexes après que des agents allèguent avoir saisi une arme chargée volée équipée d’un chargeur surcapacitaire interdit, dans le cadre d’une enquête qui a aussi mené à des accusations de trafic de fentanyl contre trois autres personnes.

  5. Près de 200 boîtes de Lego récupérées après un vol; un homme accusé.

🏛️ Gouvernement et politique

  1. Le premier ministre Carney fixe au 31 août des élections partielles dans trois circonscriptions, dont Beaches—East York. Carney a annoncé que les scrutins pour Beaches—East York (Ontario), Chicoutimi—Le Fjord (Québec) et North Vancouver—Capilano (C.-B.) auront lieu le 31 août; Beaches—East York est devenue vacante après la démission de Nate Erskine-Smith, et la circonscription est détenue par les libéraux depuis 2015.

  2. Le gouvernement fédéral refuse d’appuyer l’agrandissement pour jets à Billy Bishop; se limite aux améliorations de sécurité. Le ministre des Transports, Steven MacKinnon, a déclaré que le gouvernement n’appuierait pas le plan de l’Ontario d’ouvrir Billy Bishop aux avions à réaction, citant des consultations publiques ayant recueilli plus de 87 000 réponses, et limitera son intervention aux travaux de sécurité approuvés.

  3. L’Ontario ne signale aucun nouvel incendie de forêt en 24 heures, mais 177 feux actifs persistent et des milliers de personnes sont déplacées. La province précise que 177 feux actifs demeurent, et des estimations préliminaires qualifient cette saison de la plus dévastatrice enregistrée; plus de 1 800 personnes ont été contraintes de quitter leur domicile et 12 des 13 communautés évacuées sont des Premières Nations.

  4. Société canadienne du sang signale une baisse des réserves de près de 20 % depuis juin; appels urgents aux donneurs. Les données du fournisseur national montrent un recul d’environ 20 % des stocks de sang depuis juin, ce qui a poussé à des appels publics pour encourager les dons et stabiliser les inventaires hospitaliers et la capacité continue de transfusion.

  5. Les tensions dans le caucus progressent après un scandale d’hôtels et de dépenses à Queen’s Park impliquant le député de Willowdale. La frustration au sein du Parti progressiste-conservateur a augmenté après un reportage de Global News indiquant que le député de Willowdale, Stan Cho, aurait facturé plus de 16 000 dollars aux contribuables pour des nuits d’hôtel à Toronto entre 2023 et 2025 et près de 100 000 dollars en réclamations de nourriture et boissons, ce qui a entraîné des excuses et des divisions internes au parti.

💼 Économie et affaires

  1. Le pont international Gordie Howe inauguré officiellement à Windsor alors que les tensions commerciales s’accentuent. Des officiels ont souligné l’ouverture lors d’un événement auquel assistaient le ministre du Logement et des Infrastructures, Gregor Robertson, le premier ministre de l’Ontario Doug Ford et le maire de Windsor, Drew Dilkins; le pont doit être ouvert à la circulation le lundi suivant la cérémonie.

  2. Les menaces de tarifs de Trump coûtent déjà des contrats américains à certains fabricants canadiens, selon des avocats en commerce. William Pellerin a déclaré à Global News que des clients perdent des commandes avant l’entrée en vigueur possible d’un tarif de 50 % envisagé pour le 19 août, les secteurs du meuble et de l’électronique étant jugés particulièrement vulnérables.

🎨 Communauté et culture

  1. Des milliers de triathlètes réunis pour les épreuves multisports Supertri Toronto à travers la ville. L’événement de la fin de semaine a attiré un grand nombre de participants pour des épreuves natation-vélo-course sur les rues et les rivages de Toronto, avec des fermetures communautaires et des bénévoles soutenant les transitions et la logistique du jour de course.

  2. Avancement d’une proposition de co-dénomination temporaire d’un tronçon de Toronto en « BTS Boulevard ». Les urbanistes municipaux étudient la possibilité d’une co-dénomination temporaire pour honorer le groupe de K-pop BTS, la proposition visant un tronçon précis proposé par des organisateurs locaux pour une période limitée.

  3. Les clubs de correspondance par courrier retrouvent un public pour les lettres manuscrites alors que l’intérêt pour les correspondants augmente. Des clubs locaux rapportent une hausse d’adhésion de personnes recherchant la correspondance écrite; les rencontres facilitent les échanges de lettres, avec des participants allant d’étudiants complétant des heures de bénévolat à des familles et entreprises.

🏈 Sports

  1. Les Argonauts stoppent leur série de défaites avec une victoire 26–12 contre la Colombie-Britannique; Nick Arbuckle remplace Chad Kelly blessé. Arbuckle est entré après la sortie de Kelly en fin de première demie et a contribué à préserver la victoire 26–12 à Vancouver, complétant 13 de 20 passes pour 134 verges et ajoutant deux courses pour 28 verges, alors que Toronto améliore son dossier à 3–4.

🌦️ Météo et routes

  1. La chaleur extrême met en lumière l’inégale canopée arborée de Toronto alors que la ville planifie des étés plus chauds. Des reportages montrent que la répartition de la canopée laisse certains quartiers beaucoup plus chauds que d’autres, poussant la municipalité à planifier des plantations d’arbres et des mesures de rafraîchissement à mesure que la chaleur estivale s’intensifie.
