Identical twin doctors return to their hometown in Virginia to lead their local hospital's emergency department together. "It's a real honor."

Editorial

TTC should not be experimenting on using indigenous icons with wayfinding. Why fix something if it’s been working well for decades.

It’s not too late to scrap this proposed idea. Out of town tourists wil confuse these symbols for the zoo.

@311Toronto Thanks City of Toronto for flagging your transportation team to clean up the graffiti on the transportation signs but after 2 years of flagging, the graffiti is still there. Graffiti along Allen Rd has gotten worse. Can the city clean up? @BradMBradford @MayorOliviaChow

[EscaL8R @EscaL8R]

Hey @oliviachow @311Toronto: can you clean up the graffiti along AllenRd? I don’t think the Lawrence Heights community needs to be branded as “Drug Projects” as one sign reads. Asking on behalf of TO citizens that deserve better. And who is Jokl? #cleanUpTO

Carney has unveiled a new council to combat antisemitism in Canada. The lineup includes a former Liberal minister who is a Muslim, a DEI executive who is also Muslim, a progressive lawyer interested in social justice issues who represented pro-Palestinian encampment activists, an LGBT activist, and an Olympic speed skater.

Only one member is Jewish: Senator Marc Gold, has a long public record in Jewish communal and pro-Israel advocacy.

Seems like expertise in antisemitism was considered optional. If the goal was to reassure Jewish Canadians, this is a bizarre way to go about it.

@USAmbCanada @JasminLaine_ But yet we’re in a recession! A ‘technical recession’ as the headlines read in Canada.

#BREAKING: @TorontoPolice say missing 14-year-old girl Esther has been located by police and "is safe." Details to come. @globalnews

@VinceGaetano @TTChelps @Rogers_Stadium Get funding from Live Nation or Rogers to help fix the infrastructure, especially when a massive was erected in months. Fixing some of the infrastructure can be a thank you to the community.

[EscaL8R @EscaL8R]

Wouldn’t it be powerful for @BrunoMars, @LiveNation, and @Rogers_Stadium to use the concert screens to help find Esther, a missing girl from the very neighbourhood hosting the show? Every screen and every share could help bring her home. #FindEsti @PasternakTO

Shocked & disgusted by the treatment I received today at King Station by a @TTChelps employee. Left stranded with my baby in a stroller with zero accessibility options, I asked staff for help. His response? "Go figure it out." Full story below. #TTC #Toronto #Accessibility

This is the most current flyer being used to help locate Esti. There is now a $25,000 reward being offered for information that helps locate her. Please keep sharing.

@joeroganhq It's worse than you think...

[Caryn Lieberman @caryn_lieberman]

Missing girl appeared on Global News a year ago. Have a look. See if you can help? Her family and police are searching for her. https://t.co/JssWS2imhv

[Caryn Lieberman @caryn_lieberman]

Have you seen Esther? Keep your eyes open. She’s been missing for more than a week.

[Caryn Lieberman @caryn_lieberman]

Turns out Esther was on Global News a year ago. I interviewed her for a story about her beloved school crossing guard Michelle. Esther's family asked that we show you a clip to see how she moves, talks and interacts. Esther, 14, has been missing for a week.

[EscaL8R @EscaL8R]

Missing : Ester, video of teenager in the news clip.

This is an important issue that few are talking about

@NiallHarbison Daphne… short for the Daffodil flower… symbol used to support cancer care. Or the name has a Greek meaning where a mythological nymph turned itself into a tree after escaping from Apollo. So there’s some meaning there to her street life.
