Her testimony is horrifying. IMO even if they’re not convicted, this behavior is so vile they’ll never play in the NHL again.

CBC’s live updates are really good: https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/livestory/canada-election-full-voting-results-expected-this-afternoon-with-key-races-still-too-close-to-call-9.6738893 I know things don’t move quickly in court and they were up front about the fact that this would take 8...

I’m an Ontario resident (Toronto), and the last time I was called for jury duty I reported in the morning and was told what room to go to. It was a straightforward sounding civil case expected to last a week with a short witness list, so the jury was selected within about 30 minutes. At that...

I I think there will be updates (and potentially consequences) from the Department of Labour, but those investigations tend to be slow. I was a juror on a Coroner’s Inquest for a job site workplace death in Ontario, which are mandatory here in cases of deaths related to construction...

According to CBC, the Nova Scotia Department of Labour is now leading the investigation: https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.7383140 I think it’s likely they don’t want too much information out there to preserve their ability to conduct a review that is as unbiased as possible by outside commentary. It’s...

I think whatever the reason for secrecy is might make some or a lot of sense in hindsight once we know more about it, it’s just hard for me to imagine it right now, and I think my best guess is that it’s related to some kind of other ongoing investigation. As one of the lawyers alluded to in the...

One interesting thing in there is that the cook said the bill was actually closer $150 (not $40), and that they didn’t come close to finishing their food before trying to leave. Overall though, based on the facts available, this really sounds like a pretty standard dine and dash by three...

The article mentions that Neveah and her brother were enrolled at (but never attended) Church Street Daycare in the Gay Village, which is 2km/about a five minute drive from the dumpster on Dale Avenue. I think it’s possible her mother lived in the area and may have noticed that dumpsters/junk...

It sounds like the police are in the frustrating position of knowing her mom’s Tim Hortons story is obviously not true, but they lack the evidence to move on charges of any kind - there’s no evidence that isn’t what happened, and they don’t have a cause of death. The worst part is that that...

“A critical fact went unsaid as Neveah was identified to the world. Far from a mystery child — an undocumented immigrant, or a new arrival in Canada, as authorities first theorized — Neveah had, for most of her life, been in the care of the province’s child protection agencies. She was far from...

When the police first identified her, they said that genetic genealogy and a well timed, but not specific, tip let them narrow it down to her quickly. The article explains what it was: <modsnip: Direct quote/copy/paste from a paywalled article is a violation of copyright law>

Ohhh this makes more sense. I still don’t know that I’m sold on this: from what I’ve read in many of those extortion cases the demands seem to be for more money and the threats/violence seem a little more “hands off (calls/texts, arson, shooting into parking lots when the business is closed for...

I mean, there’s clearly some element of this that’s complex and ongoing - I just don’t know how you make the leap to “South Asian gang shakedown” being the most likely option here, particularly given that the suspects very much look white.

The police refused to say whether she left the wedding with anyone. I think it’s possible they know it’s likely this person was with her that night, but it took time to build a case for a search warrant, and they might still not have any smoking gun physical evidence yet. Since charges start the...
