Justin Trudeau, Stephen Harper, and Thomas Mulcair met last night in Toronto for the Munk Debate on foreign policy issues. Hot topics included Syrian refugees, Bill C-51, and Bill C-24. This last bill made headlines on the weekend when the Conservatives revoked the citizenship of Zakaria Amara. Amara was sentenced to life in prison for his involvement in the so-called “Toronto 18” bomb plot.

Been following the Jays? Of course you have. But just in case, it’s worth pointing out that they beat Baltimore 4-3 last night. Although it was a tight game, they’re still potentially heading for the AL East title.

Toronto will be dropping up to $3.4-million to shave a few months off the Gardiner construction project, Mayor Tory announced Monday. The money will provide for extended work hours, a bigger crew, and more equipment. To justify the cost, Tory invoked a 2014 report that said each day of extra Gardiner traffic costs the city $1-million.
