#35 - Toronto Police Chief Mark Saunders contract extended, Toronto newspaper publisher sentenced for hate speech




This Week in Toronto show

Summary: A teenager went to court this week after last week he was beaten up by three police officers in a viral video after dealing drugs and resisting arrest., Temba gives his two cents on the situation and on the old saying 'two wrongs don't make a right.' A toronto publisher of a newspaper called Your Ward was sentenced to 1 yr of house arrest just one week apart from his editor in chief partner being sentenced to one yr in prison for anti - Semitic comments on the Jewish community and making lewd hatred comments about women in their newspaper. Even though Temba thinks these people are absolutely horrible people, he doesn't agree with them being arrested and he explains why. Toronto police chief Mark Saunders had his contract extended as chief by one year -- April 30th 2021. Even though there is scrutiny around him for being responsible for crime being as high as it it and deservedly so, Temba understands why his contract was renewed. 1920 August 28 The Pantages Theatre opens as Canada's largest theatre. 1927 August 30 Edward, Prince of Wales and Prince George inaugurate the new Princes' Gates at the Exhibition Grounds 1938 August 29 Malton Airport opens. 2014 August 31 Flexity streetcars debut on 510 Spadina Streetcar Line. iTunes l  Spotify l Stitcher l Android l Google Play Podbean l TuneIn l RSS  (Another link to the podcast in case you can't access the ones above): https://linktr.ee/thisweekintoronto Email: thisweekinto@hotmail.com Email for questions to be answered or to be a co-host of the show, must live in Toronto or GTA area to be co- host.  My blog, go follow and read! https://medium.com/@tembajennings Follow the podcast on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thisweekinto/ Subscribe to the podcast on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxgvK8oxhIzGlU4XDCPNcbQ?view_as=subscriber Follow Temba on Twitter: https://twitter.com/tembajennings
