In the summer of 1929, a raccoon broke into a backyard henhouse in Midtown and murdered 16 chickens.

This is one of many stories from the past century that the Star’s @amydempsey uncovered as she dug into how Toronto went from no raccoons to the “raccoon capital of the world” in 100 years 🧵

What happens when you give 50 homeless people $7,500 each? They spend it on rent, clothing and food (not alcohol, drugs and smokes), a stereotype-shattering B.C. study shows, by @Brie_Charlebois https://t.co/MSnIhUMuyb via @globeandmail @jiayingzhao

Most of the lobbying by prominent housing developers that led to thousands of acres being removed from the Greenbelt and billions of dollars added to the value of their lands does not appear anywhere in Ontario’s lobbyist registry. https://t.co/WSIduMbumX

By far the biggest jaw-dropped in the integrity commissioner report so far: typed notes from a meeting indicate the Premier directly gave files about three sites to Ryan Amato.

Amato, Premier Ford and Premier's Office staff deny this.

Breaking: John Herdman is leaving Canada Soccer to coach Toronto FC. It's a hammer blow to the federation, a symptom of CSA dysfunction, and the end of an era in Canadian national team soccer. @joshuakloke first. https://t.co/ZY995SuE9g

The McDougall Creek wildfire burning above West Kelowna, B.C., last night, as seen from the shores of downtown Kelowna, 📸 for @globeandmail .

As of Friday morning, the fire is measured at 6,800 Hectares. Thousands are on evacuation alert with hundreds more on evac order.

[Canadian Association of Journalists @caj]

Residents & officials across NWT can't access reliable news about wildfires on Facebook, esp. as evacuation efforts get underway.

This is unacceptable.

We urge Meta to reverse its decision to prevent Canadians from viewing news on Facebook/Instagram.

Andrew Scheer was once the second-most powerful man in Canada and does not understand what a wire service is/does.

[Ahmar Khan @AhmarSKhan]

A Globe and Mail reporter just asked the Premier of Ontario if he knows that the announcement today is a communications spin taking light away from the Auditor General's Greenbelt report and if he thinks Ontarians would buy it.

Breaking: a new investigation from @thenarwhalca and @TorontoStar shows developers scooped up 524 more acres of former Greenbelt land over five days in June, spending $173 million. Call it a Greenbelt gold rush.
