Toronto man shocked to receive directive from GEDSB A Toronto man was shocked to get an ominous legal letter from the local Catholic school board after he questioned its spending.

Strong Crown case but judge's doubt sees gun, drug charges dropped against Brantford man Evidence against a man targeted by a police warrant and acting suspiciously still left a judge with a reasonable doubt about his guilt.

Police were investigating a man suspected of fentanyl dealing but serious charges were dropped when a judge expressed reasonable doubt that it could have been one of 7 other people in the same house.
