The legislative efforts to combat online harms in Canada have focused chiefly on platform responsibility, with Bill C-34 reintroducing a regulated duty to act responsibly. An Ontario court recently considered another avenue to address harms that instead targets influencers who weaponize their audiences. The Ontario Superior Court of Justice issued a decision that extends the tort of Internet harassment into networked harassment, in which influencers or those with large online audiences encourage their followers to target individuals. In Miller v. Ahn, the court granted an interim injunction against a social media creator with more than 100,000 followers who had mobilized her audience against a Toronto employment lawyer. The actions led to fake reviews of her firm, threatening phone calls and messages, and antisemitic abuse that was directed at the lawyer’s perceived Jewish and Israeli identity.

Amd Im talking about homeless shelters located in ANY, YYES A.N.Y. part of ontario. It doesnnt matter if its cornwall, fort severn, windsor, niagara falls, thunder bay, lonndon, whatever.

Are they all full as Ive heard? Can I confirm this for myself? Is that why they always drop the call when you call 211?

Thank you.

When Unifor opens negotiations with General Motors on Aug. 10 in Toronto, two separate contracts that expire in September will be on the table, including one that could determine the fate of over 1,000 hourly employees currently laid off at CAMI Assembly plant.

The Doug Ford government weakened Ontario’s species-at-risk law despite feedback from thousands of residents, conservation experts, municipal representatives, First Nations and more decrying the proposal as “a significant step backward in environmental protection.”

The opposition is outlined in internal analysis by Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks staff that was reviewed and verified by The Narwhal.

My internet has been down since around 4:30pm its now 10pm. I am using oxio which uses rogers infrastructure. The status page explains that since rogers is down in a good chunk of Ontario this means oxio and other ISP using that infrastructure are out as well. Though this outage looks huge from my perspective from BC to Quebec there's huge areas blacked out. Though rogers itself shows no outages and my girlfriend in Brampton who is a rogers customer is not having any issues. I also am not seeing any news about it. Anyone know what is going on?
