A member of the Durham Regional Police Service (DRPS), Constable Tre Hamad, has been arrested and charged by the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP).
DRPS takes the allegations against Constable Hamad very seriously. He has been suspended without pay.
As the investigation was conducted by an external police service and the matter is now before the courts, DRPS cannot provide any further comment. Questions regarding the investigation should be directed to the OPP.
Almost 1 km of Oxford Street is now pedestrianised. Trees, seats and plazas are planned for spring 2027.
More room for public life, lingering and chilling. Not just shopping. The real test: an inclusive street that works for visitors and neighbours alike.
With most incumbents projected to keep their seats in Toronto, save for a few exceptions, here’s what Council looks like for re-elected Mayor Olivia Chow:
With Wards 4, 5, 11, 13, and 14 likely electing non-incumbent, unabashed, and progressive candidates, Toronto City Council has moved leftwards compared to the previous cohort of councilors.
- Green representing councilors who largely oppose Chow in contested votes
- Blue representing centrists who side with the Mayor sometimes
- Purple representing Mayor Chow's closest allies in council
- Red representing newly elected councilors who are more progressive than the prior ones occupying that seat
- And Grey for Shaun Chen (Ward 23), a former Liberal MP who defeated the incumbent Myers (a Chow ally) but can't really be classified into any boxes yet.
Let's recap: In 2023 Olivia Chow and Ana Bailao each won more votes than all the conservative male candidates combined, so Brad Bradford teamed up with a bunch of corporate lobbyists to make right-wing propaganda so that this would never happen again.
