Twitter feed ©2025 BellMedia All Rights Reserved TorontoVideo shows man pushing shopping cart into Danforth bike lane, injuring e-bike riderBy Joanna LavoieOpens in new windowPublished: April 30, 2025 at 5:24PM EDT Police say they’re investigating after a man allegedly pushed a grocery cart into a bike lane on Danforth Avenue, striking and injuring a food delivery courier on an e-bike. The incident happened just before 10 a.m. on Tuesday in a dedicated bike lane on the north side of Danforth Avenue, near Monarch Park Avenue, just west of Coxwell Avenue. Surveillance video shared with CTV News Toronto shows a man forcefully pushing the cart into the bike lane, hitting a cyclist who was travelling westbound. The e-bike rider is then seen falling to the ground. The assailant appears to look back briefly before continuing to walk eastbound on the sidewalk. Police tell CTV News Toronto that the victim was taken to hospital with unknown injuries. They are still trying to identify the suspect. A second video from a door camera, which was also reviewed by CTV News Toronto, shows clearer images of the alleged perpetrator strolling away from the scene shortly before someone on an e-bike stops to help the injured cyclist. Area business owner Holly Liddell provided both videos showing the incident and the suspect to the police. She told CTV News Toronto that she “was “upset” by what happened. Liddell, who often posts footage of crime-related incidents in the community to her local Facebook group, added that it seems that the suspect is a “regular in the neighbourhood,” adding that people in the area may know him and could give his name and address to the authorities. David Shellnut, a personal injury lawyer who specializes in representing injured cyclists and vulnerable people, said it‘s “heartbreaking” to see acts of violence committed against cyclists. “It could have been me. It could have been my neighbour. It could have been my wife,” he told CTV News Toronto this morning. “This is such a random act of violence perpetuated against someone riding a bicycle. It really should give everybody pause.” Shellnut issued a news release on Wednesday morning, drawing attention to the video and making a public appeal for information that may lead to the arrest of the suspect. He told CTV News Toronto that he hopes the footage will “create awareness amongst cyclists to be wary and stay safe.” “Our hope here is that people will band together so that justice is served,” Shellnut said, pointing to a past case his firm took on where a cyclist was allegedly purposely struck by a person on a motorcycle. In that instance, his firm also shared video of the incident, which he said helped police apprehend the suspect. “We do see this a lot. We’ve seen an uptick in aggressive behaviours on the roadways since the pandemic and even since the premier has come out shouting against bike lanes,” Shellnut said. “We want people to really be careful out there. If you see someone who’s dangerous, behaving aggressively we want you to report that. … If you’ve seen this individual specifically, don’t confront them. Contact the authorities.” A shocking video making the rounds on social media shows a pedestrian attacking a delivery driver using a shopping cart in what appears to be a completely unprompted assault. Video captured just before 10 a.m. on Tuesday, Apr. 29, 2025 shows a pedestrian launch a shopping cart into a bike lane along Danforth Avenue near Monarch Park, striking and injuring a food delivery driver on an e-bike. The food courier was reportedly hospitalized due to the attack. The clip, which is circulating in the Danforth East York Woodbine Community Facebook group, has generated much discussion. Among those shocked by the incident is personal injury lawyer and cyclist rights advocate David Shellnutt, who issued a statement on the seemingly random assault. Shellnutt noted how, in the video, "the cyclist is struck and falls to the ground injured," while "the perpetrator looks back at the harm caused and continues walking away from the scene." "Apparently, the cyclist has sustained injury and was taken to hospital, but details remain limited, including if police are involved. Another e-cyclist arrived on scene first to render aid to the fallen cyclist as the perpetrator looked back at the mayhem and harm he had caused and casually kept walking." "This represents a clear and present danger to cyclists and other road users in the City of Toronto," warns Shellnutt. Shellnutt appeals to locals to help identify the suspect, writing, "our hope is that members of the community can help identify this perpetrator and share that information with Toronto police," and is hoping for "an arrest for aggravated assault." He also hopes that "sharing his image and the video of the incident will ...create awareness amongst cyclists to be wary and stay safe." "Our hope is that the person injured has a speedy recovery," he continues. "We know all too well the long-term recovery costs and complications that result from incidents like this."

If you ask DBS Developments CEO Bryan Levy, what Toronto needs is “more high-quality, purpose-built apartments that cater to long-term renters.”   Enjoy the latest local, national and international news. Create an account or sign in to continue with your reading experience. And that’s what DBS is attempting to provide at Bela Square, its new purpose-built rental development in the Main-Danforth neighbourhood.  Steps from Taylor Creek Park just east of Main Street, the project’s 484 units are adding inventory to a market that, according to the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, is already oversupplied,  But Levy sees a difference. “Historically, many renters have relied on investor-owned condos, which do not always provide the same security and amenities as dedicated rental buildings. Bela Square offers a purpose-built alternative where residents can put down roots, knowing that the quality, service and lifestyle will remain consistent over time,” he says.  Long-term security is another draw, he says. “Unlike renting from an investor-owned condo, where the owner may decide to sell or repurpose the unit, our residents can feel confident that this is a home they can stay in for as long as they choose.”  Designed by architecture firm Arcadis, with interiors by II By IV Design, Bela Square offers a variety of open-concept unit sizes across 94 and 100 Eastdale. Ranging from 463-square-foot one-bedrooms to four-bedrooms spanning 1,306 square feet, units include keyless entry, full-size stainless-steel appliances and stacked laundry.    “We expect to attract a range of residents,” Levy says. “Professionals may find the location convenient due to the nearby Danforth Line subway, while families may be drawn to the larger unit sizes and family-friendly amenities. Retirees seeking a maintenance-free lifestyle in an established neighbourhood may also consider Bela Square as an option.”  Levy also highlights the property management approach. “We have the largest property management team in DBS history on site, ensuring residents receive support at every stage of their rental experience. From dedicated leasing specialists to full-time maintenance staff, we’ve streamlined the process to make renting as straightforward as possible.”  Monthly rents range from $2,125 to $4,100.

They both agreed to pause each country’s proposed tariffs while Canada implements border-security measures Customers have asked Laganas and other coworkers whether they source anything American He said their customers “don’t want to support any form of meat or any product that comes from the U.S.” More than 50 per cent of beef imported to Canada in 2024 originated from the United States Conversely, Canadian hog and cattle farmers are heavily reliant on access to the U.S. market, according to Farm Credit Canada. That’s because 2.6 million isowean pigs are sent to the U.S for fattening and slaughtering from Manitoba 99 per cent of all hog exports from Canada Canada exports 17 per cent of its total cattle production This family-owned butcher shop has been a staple in the East York community for 56 years Mister Greek Meat Market sources their meats from local farms in Ontario and the business owners have their own slaughter facilities Nick Kontos is the son of the store owner; he has been a part of Mister Greek since he was a young boy Kontos said the tariffs will affect business slightly because they import steaks from the U.S there will be an issue that will impact the consumer which is the customer that will pay the most money,” Kontos said In 2023, 45.5 per cent of all beef in Canada was exported to other countries, according to Agriculture Canada This includes beef production and beef exports (using the carcass weight and converting beef exports to a live cattle equivalent volume of beef ÷ average warm carcass weight) Masellis Supermarket is an Italian specialty grocery store that sources its meat and poultry from Ontario farms Constantino talked to the Toronto Observer about his concerns with his produce prices “Product of fresh produce coming out of Texas we have no choice if you want fresh vegetables,” Constantino Masellis said Canada imports roughly 50 per cent of vegetables and 80 per cent of fruit, according to Widener University Prices on produce like berries and tropical fruits that are imported from states like California or Florida are expected to see an increase in Canadian grocery stores if the tariffs take effect Masellis said that they have options outside of Ontario depending on the type of fruits they import He said more businesses should try to support local farmers if they can “I’ve been in this business since I was a kid I’ve seen a lot of farmers and nobody taking over their operation so if we don’t support our local farmers we’re gonna have fewer options,” Masellis said Since Trump’s tariffs announcements and the subsequent pause Canadians have been unsure what to prepare for Shoppers should become more aware of price when shopping, and think about a product’s country of origin according to assistant chief economist at Royal Bank of Canada The Toronto Observer is an award-winning news organization staffed by journalism students at Centennial College in Toronto © The Toronto Observer | Produced by Centennial College journalism students COLUMBUS -- For a Columbus Blue Jackets player, being called a donkey was the ultimate compliment to receive from the late Johnny Gaudreau were tragically killed when they were struck by an alleged drunk driver while riding bicycles in Salem County the Blue Jackets decided to retire a Civil War-type kepi and award the player of the game with a donkey hat this season So, in the aftermath of the Blue Jackets' 5-3 victory against the Detroit Red Wings in the 2025 Navy Federal Credit Union Stadium Series at Ohio Stadium on Saturday, it was Justin Danforth who was the grateful recipient after scoring the go-ahead goal at 17:43 of the third period he's been with us all year,” Danforth said I know he's laughing up there and calling me a donkey because he liked to joke around with me a lot.” Columbus (30-22-8) has now won four straight games since the break for the 4 Nations Face-Off including a 5-2 victory at Detroit (30-24-6) on Thursday The Blue Jackets currently own the first wild card into the Stanley Cup Playoffs from the Eastern Conference “We know how big these games are,” Danforth said but our mindset coming into it was two points We're right there with them in the standings.” the Blue Jackets’ first outdoor game was a celebration of the Gaudreau brothers and their family 13 a prominent sight among the second-largest crowd in NHL history (94,751) and it was special for us to win for him and his family,” Danforth said DET@CBJ: Danforth takes lead late in 3rd period Maybe it was fitting that Danforth (5-foot-8 188 pounds) was the one who got the Blue Jackets back on track after blowing a two-goal lead in the third period But whereas Gaudreau (5-9, 163) was all about skill, Danforth is more of a grinder, an attribute which led forward Mathieu Olivier to describe him as "a little pit bull out there." “He's such a huge part of our group and obviously our line and he doesn't get as much credit as he should but he's a real important piece to our team and I couldn't be happier for him to get that moment On Danforth's goal, which gave Columbus a 4-3 lead, he split between defensemen Albert Johansson and Simon Edvinsson while entering the offensive zone Danforth’s stick caught Edvinsson in the face but he continued with the play and scored on his own rebound near the right post The officials would huddle following the goal but the call stood “I was hoping that they made the right call but I felt like it was just a battle and that's what happened,” Danforth said Said Blue Jackets coach Dean Evason: “It could go either way I'm sure if we're on the other end we’ll be speaking to it.” It hasn't been an easy journey for Danforth He then missed the final 76 games of the 2022-23 season because of a shoulder injury he was the unlikely hero on a subfreezing night (27 degrees Fahrenheit) in Columbus to get me to this point and playing in the NHL just to get to share it with the team and my family Former child actor Gabriel del Castillo Mullally Ryan Andrews maintains he did not mean to run over Gabriel Del Castillo Mullally and therefore did not have the intention to commit murder The Crown opened its case Monday against a man who was driving a vehicle that hit and killed former child actor Gabriel Del Castillo Mullally on the Danforth early on Feb was behind the wheel of the Subaru Outback when it left the road and went onto the sidewalk and struck Del Castillo Mullally as he was leaving a nearby after-hours bar called the Rusty Nail The main issues at the trial will be whether Andrews intended to strike Del Castillo Mullally and if the killing was planned and deliberate Andrews pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder but guilty to manslaughter Andrews’s position is that while he was “drunk and angry” that evening he was only trying to scare someone after being punched in the face and robbed of his phone — what’s called a provocation defence He also maintains he did not mean to run over Del Castillo Mullally and therefore did not have the intention to commit murder defence lawyers Sherif Foda and Zaire Puil will argue so Andrews is standing trial for first-degree murder could put him behind bars for a minimum of 25 years prosecutor Andrew Gibbons said Del Castillo Mullally and his companions were already at the Rusty Nail when Andrews arrived at the bar just before 3 a.m Andrews left and got into the Subaru he’d parked nearby Surveillance video captured Andrews driving back and forth between the bar’s rear and front doors He also left the vehicle to bang on the doors “I ask you to pay attention to his behaviour and his body language he appears to be stabbing at the (back) door repeatedly with a knife,” said Gibbons Del Castillo Mullally exited the bar with friends Del Castillo Mullally and Andrews got into a heated exchange and Hopkins is expected to testify that when he came to his friend’s side Andrews drove the Subaru onto the sidewalk the vehicle hit Del Castillo Mullally as he walked beside Hopkins After Del Castillo Mullally fell to the ground “Andrews kept driving and ran him over as he returned to the roadway Del Castillo Mullally went under both the front and rear wheels of the SUV,” Gibbons said explaining that jurors will see surveillance footage of the carnage gave an overview of Andrews’s troubled upbringing Andrews had consumed cocaine and booze when he got into an argument in the bar with several people Andrews’s phone from him,” the defence lawyer said Andrews decided to confront Del Castillo Mullally and went to grab a knife from the car When he couldn’t get back into the Rusty Nail he kicked Andrews “like a stray dog,” while Hopkins threw a lunging hook that landed on his chin Andrews didn’t try to use the knife “because he didn’t want to kill him,” Puil said Andrews plans to testify at trial and will say that when he drove the Subaru onto the sidewalk When he maneuvered the car back onto the sidewalk a second time he accidentally struck Del Castillo Mullally “He didn’t mean to kill anyone that night or even run anyone over.” Andrews fled the scene and was arrested two days later after initially resisting arrest and giving a fake name to police Gabriel starred in the short “Tati” and the feature-length coming-of-age film “Amy George,” which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2011 His parents are screenwriter Guy Mullally and “Street Legal” actress Maria del Mar

priced way under market value right now,” Frodyma said it appears like they are willing to take a little bit of a loss just to get out from under this property.” Frodyma added the home could very likely grow in value over the next decade “It’s pretty safe bet to say that if you were to buy a property here you’re likely to see it appreciate in the long term just because it has so many things going for it,” he explained The property was listed twice in November for $1,688,000 and then $2,038,000 before being taken off the market towards the end of December It was put back on the market for
