Il Toronto Police Services (TPS) il 1 ° settembre ha rilasciato un comunicato stampa per informare il pubblico che aveva effettuato un arresto in un’indagine per violenza sessuale.

Il tono, le grida e l’identità nazionale
TORONTO – Non c’è bisogno di aspettare gli “altri dibattiti” della prossima settimana per determinare chi vincerà la campagna elettorale. Per quanto riguarda il dibattito riservato all’importantissimo collegio elettorale del Québec, tutte le questioni sono state risolte. Non c’è altro da dire o sentire. Il Bloc Quebecois (nella foto, il leader Yves-Francois Blanchet) è riuscito a stabilire le regole di base; gli altri partiti si sono arrampicati su sé stessi per mettersi in riga…
The election vacuum: serious discussions absent
TORONTO – Election campaigns are always full of surprises. One would be tempted to think that they are all about issues revolving around HOW dedicated men and women would shape our future.

Conservatives on the run, the debate in Quebec does not change the balance
TORONTO – The debate in Quebec on September 2 between the leaders did not shift the balance of power between the parties. The confirmation comes from the last 8 polls carried out after the debate in French which highlight how the Conservative Party led by Erin O’Toole continues to enjoy a comforting margin of advantage over the liberals of Justin Trudeau. Jagmeet Singh’s NDP continues to play the role of third inconvenience while the percentage of undecided remains high. The gap that divides the conservatives from the Liberal Party ranges from the 1.5 percent detected by Nanos to 6.4 percent highlighted by Ekos.

VATICAN CITY – “Help the Afghans”. The call comes from St. Peter’s Square in the Vatican. It was launched by Pope Francis, after the Sunday Angelus. “In these troubled times that see Afghans seeking refuge – said the Pontiff – , I pray for the most vulnerable among them.
