Today’s @PressReader @TorontoStar is missing the puzzles. As newspapers die across the world, the Star fails again to provide readers what they paid for. Index says they’re on page P5. There is no P5.

My usually reliable @PressReader version of the Saturday @TorontoStar is missing the obituaries. Index says they’re on page B15, but there’s no B15. Do better.

Exciting times! I spent eight days and nights covering the Mississauga derailment and evacuation for CKEY, Newsradio and CBS Radio. At the end, I was awarded $1,000 in overtime which I used to buy a brass bed. Which we still have.

Very sad news. #onpoli @OntLiberal

NEW: Jim Bradley, Ontario's second-longest serving MPP (41 years!), Liberal cabinet minister turned Niagara Region Chair has died after a brief illness at the age of 80. Bradley was my very first political interview as a cub reporter in Niagara and was very patient



FINALLY, a detailed explanation on what could happen to Alek Manoah post @BlueJays. Left out, though, is Manoah’s difficult personality as a rationale. Thanks to @mikeaxisa and @CBSSportsMLB for explaining.


Is anyone but the ⁦@TorontoStar⁩ reporting, “Scott, a married father of three young children, allegedly assaulted Coline van Scott with a high chair on Friday in Sault Ste. Marie?” #onpoli thestar.com/politics/provi…


Hard to believe these rad changes: “fields will be modified. They’ll be reduced from 110 yards to 100 yards, end zones will go from 20 yards to 15 yards and goalposts will be moved from the goal-line to the back of the reconfigured end zones.” @CFL @TorontoArgos

A shortened field and restricting how single points are awarded are among the significant changes coming to the CFL. vancouver.citynews.ca/2025/09/22/sho…
