"A new inter-city bus service is about to launch, linking downtown Toronto and Ottawa via stops in Scarborough and Kingston, but for several days after announcing the new route, the Western Canada-based bus operator seemed to have Scarborough, Ontario, confused for its namesake seaside resort town.
Red Arrow will launch its new service on December 4, initially rolling out with four trips per day before upping its service to a full six-trip-per-day schedule starting Dec. 8.
But anyone trying to book tickets in or out of Scarborough in advance in the days after the announcement was met with a very misleading image of the British seaside resort town of the same name, Scarborough, North Yorkshire, U.K."
Shaquille Small, found guilty of the second-degree murder of Jordon Marcelle, a man he didn’t know, and of the attempted murder of a man he was trying to kill, outside the Scarborough Town Centre on July 10, 2020, has been sentenced to life in prison with a parole ineligibility period of 14 years.
It was just after 2 p.m. when Small and his girlfriend Tristawna Christian went to the shopping mall intending to buy food at Walmart for a barbecue. After parking their vehicle, Small saw Ad-Ham Khamis and Marcelle entering the Walmart.
Small and Khamis had a history. In 2011, Khamis had been charged with three counts of attempted murder after a shooting that took place at a pizza restaurant at Orton Park Road and Lawrence Avenue. The victims were Small’s friends.
I got fucking followed, at night, alone, with low battery, by someone who knew I'm trans. I was lucky I had enough battery to call my uncle who confronted the guy and caught him in a lie that proved he was watching me and knew I'm trans. best part is? he matches the description of a suspect of a shooting that happened earlier today, something I narrowly avoided witnessing. if I had have left the house a few mins earlier I would've seen it happen.

"Scarborough Health Network (SHN) says it has received an “unprecedented” donation from the Orlando Corporation to modernize Scarborough’s hospitals.
SHN confirmed Wednesday it received $50 million of the $75 million donation, with University of Toronto Scarborough receiving the remaining $25 million.
The network said the money would “strengthen the region’s ability to provide world-class care for the community and train future healthcare professionals.”
SHN said the donation will go towards the new Birchmount Hospital, mental health needs such as creating the Orlando Corporation Mental Health Centre of Excellence that would focus on a recovery-oriented model of care, and other urgent priorities."
