The mayor insists we must get people indoors after this tragedy but where are they going to go? 2.Police investigating Oshawa swarming attack advocates say may have been hate-motivated: If no slurs were heard but the hijab was yanked off, is it assault, hate crime, both?

Should parents/guardians be held accountable? 3.After bomb threats at Canadian airports, services now back to ‘normal': Should NAV Canada publish at least a redacted threat summary once the RCMP rules nothing suspicious so the public knows what really happened?
