This is the most bizarre and thrilling case of littering I have ever come across

Nobody in the industry would send a shipment of live lobsters that far north, not on the road at least.

I rarely credit The Star but this is a must-read. This copy could be turned into a short film. It is Torontonians like Marshall Cohen who are the true backbone of this city. Arriving at the Food Terminal at the crack of dawn, without fanfare, to supply our markets and grocers.
He spent nearly 50 years picking the produce you eat. Now the last of the old masters of the Ontario Food Terminal is making his last stand

Heinz only allows a handful of tomato varieties to be used in its ketchup in each region of the world. This group of elite tomatoes is known as the Ketchup Pack. And this is a story about a young tomato’s quest to join them. https://t.co/15Gwgtqe81

We're calling on @Queens_AMS to immediately rescind a motion that could impinge on the future editorial freedom of @queensjournal. Student journalism is real journalism. Any efforts to interfere in journalistic activities is completely intolerable. 🎤 https://t.co/NcPKXGmvuY

The student government at @queensu, my alma mater, wants to have more control over what the student newspaper publishes. I'm very happy the @caj is calling it out for what it is. Full support to the @queensjournal in its fight for editorial autonomy.

The victim of a deadly Mississauga home invasion was one of the owners of two popular Asian grocery chains in the GTA, the Star has learned, and the husband of a woman who has been missing for more than a decade. My latest for @TorontoStar
thestar.com
Mississauga man Ruo Zhao Wei who was killed at home earlier this month in a forced entry was one of the owners of several Asian grocery stores in the GTA, grocery store employees told the Star.

For years, unhoused people like Davit Sesisheili have gone from park to park, moving when the City evicts them. With new data, and reporting and photography that spans years, this is the most...

Absolutely blown away by this story in @TheLocal_TO — @Bren_Doherty’s reporting and Nick Kozak’s photos. So many details that will stay with me, so many enraging stories within the larger narrative. Well worth your time. https://t.co/nOee9pPZZA

Last-resort placements are painting a picture of a situation where Ontario’s most vulnerable children are the least likely to get help.

the fact that Richard has Babak writing for the newspaper is such a colossal victory that you won’t fully understand until you’ve read him
My deepest wish for all of you this weekend is that you have an hour to spend completely disconnected from the internet reading issue two of the Star's new Opinion Weekly in print. OW debuts for @babakl @swanmichaels @rosiewestwood @Justin_Ling @amypataki and more.

I don’t know why I’m still surprised that we went through what we did in the pandemic and didn’t change absolutely everything about longterm care. https://t.co/CjVHzP197X
