23 articulos hace 53 minutos 3

🏛️ Gobierno y política

  1. La ministra de Transporte dice que los recortes de servicio de Metrolinx los fines de semana son "temporales". La ministra Prabmeet Sarkaria confirmó que el servicio de GO Train en Lakeshore East y Lakeshore West pasará de frecuencias de 15 a 30 minutos y que los viajes en las líneas Barrie, Stouffville y Niagara serán reemplazados por autobuses hasta al menos la próxima primavera para permitir trabajos en las vías y atender problemas de personal.

  2. El gobierno Ford retirará ciclovías de Bloor, Yonge y University tras ganar en la corte. La provincia informó que emitirá solicitudes de propuestas para rediseñar esas calles y que comenzará los trabajos de inmediato, empezando por un tramo corto de Bloor Street West; la Corte de Apelaciones despejó el camino al revertir una decisión de instancia inferior.

  3. Doug Ford inauguró un letrero de 25,000 dólares canadienses que dice "Lake Ontario" al este de Hamilton. La oficina del premier confirmó que los contribuyentes pagaron 25,000 dólares canadienses para imprimir e instalar el letrero bilingüe en Winona como respuesta simbólica a una iniciativa estadounidense de cambio de nombre; el ministro de Transporte, Sarkaria, defendió públicamente las acciones provinciales continuas para priorizar carriles vehiculares.

🚨 Crimen y seguridad pública

  1. Un oficial en la investigación Project South intentó declararse culpable desde febrero, dice la defensa. El agente Elias Mouawad ha intentado declararse culpable por uso no autorizado de una computadora desde su detención en febrero; el tribunal escuchó que problemas con la divulgación en la investigación mayor de Project South retrasaron cualquier declaración y el asunto vuelve a corte el 16 de septiembre.

  2. Profesor de arte de Pickering, Faruk Dewan, 63, acusado de 22 cargos en investigación por agresión sexual infantil. La policía de Durham alega que Dewan agredió sexualmente de forma repetida a dos niñas entre noviembre de 2025 y julio de 2026; fue arrestado en agosto y quedó detenido para una audiencia de fianza mientras los investigadores advierten que podría haber más víctimas.

  3. La OPP incauta cerca de 1 millón de dólares en drogas, armas y bienes robados en una investigación del suroeste de Ontario. Los investigadores recuperaron 6.5 kg de presunto fentanilo (≈65,000 dosis letales), 420 g de presunta cocaína, 250 g de presunta metanfetamina, 73,500 dólares en efectivo, una pistola, un rifle, cargadores prohibidos y remolques camper robados tras allanamientos en Brantford, Paris, London y sitios de la Nación Oneida.

  4. Un hombre de 46 años acusado por un incidente mortal en bote en abril en el río San Lorenzo. La OPP indica que el vuelco del 25 de abril al norte de Grenadier Island dejó a un residente de Ottawa de 41 años muerto; tras la investigación, un hombre de 46 años de Ontario enfrenta ahora cargos de negligencia criminal que ocasionó la muerte.

💼 Economía y negocios

  1. Unifor inicia negociaciones con Stellantis mientras comienza la ronda final. El sindicato que representa a casi 19,000 trabajadores automotrices canadienses inicia la negociación con Stellantis tras ratificar acuerdos con Ford y GM; las charlas ocurren mientras la planta de ensamblaje de Brampton permanece inactiva y en medio de amenazas de aranceles estadounidenses de hasta 50% vigentes desde el 1 de enero.

  2. Funcionarios de Vaughan gastaron más de 1,700 dólares en Ubers durante un viaje comercial a Italia de 10 días en 2024. Documentos de acceso a la información muestran que una delegación de seis personas de Vaughan viajó del 3–13 de julio de 2024, incurriendo en gastos de taxis, autobús chárter y turismo como parte de una misión para atraer inversión.

🎨 Comunidad y cultura

  1. Las últimas ballenas en cautiverio de Canadá salieron de Marineland; visitantes relatan despedidas emotivas. Testigos describieron haber dicho adiós por última vez mientras las orcas restantes del parque en el área de Niagara eran trasladadas; la crónica detalla la partida de los animales sin que se anuncien planes de nuevo cautiverio.

  2. El líder de Blue Rodeo celebró cantar sobre Lake Ontario en medio de la iniciativa estadounidense de cambio de nombre. El vocalista de la banda contó que interpretaron canciones que hacen referencia a Lake Ontario mientras líderes políticos respondían a los movimientos en EE. UU., una nota cultural local dentro de una disputa comercial más amplia.
