IN THE NEWS…
- Police are investigating after four cars were torched in west-end Toronto overnight. Fire crews responded to a car lot on Toro Road near Finch and Keele just after 2:30 a.m. The incident comes after several other cars were set on fire in the Jane and Wilson area early Sunday morning.
- As it turns out, some fire hydrants in Toronto are more costly than others. Since 2008, cars that parked too close to the hydrant at 393 University Ave. have been ticketed 2,962 times. Those fines add up to $289,620 – more than any other hydrant in the city.
- Toronto police are investigating two separate stabbing incidents in the city Sunday night. A man was stabbed numerous times at a restaurant on Weston Road near Lawrence Avenue West after 10 p.m. Meanwhile, earlier in the evening, a male in his 20’s was stabbed with non-life threatening injuries just around 6 p.m. Sunday.
- A tricky rule keeps tripping up thousands of Canadians who make withdrawals from their tax-free savings accounts, and replace the money too early. Some 54,700 taxpayers got warning packages from the Canada Revenue Agency earlier this year about the problem affecting the 2013 taxation year, and were told they face a penalty.
- Jose Bautista came through, hitting an opposite field single over the head of a drawn in outfield in the 19th to score Munenori Kawasaki as the Blue Jays capped the longest game in team history with a come-from-behind 6-5 win.
