A lot more birds are hitting Toronto buildings this fall. Ornithologists say migration season plus city lights equals fatal collisions — window strikes that used to be occasional are now happening constantly.
Over $400K is wagered on Toronto's mayoral race on Polymarket — the betting app that's technically banned in Ontario but somehow drawing massive action anyway. Bradford and Chow's odds are shifting by the hour rn.

Someone mailed their ballot six days before the deadline using a Canada Post mailbox and prepaid envelope, but it didn't arrive by the cutoff. They're asking if others hit the same problem.
The mayoral candidates clashed over police spending numbers on social media, with Chow suggesting Bradford doesn't understand the budget.
