#StarInvestigation: A foreign country has surrendered “evidence” to Toronto homicide detectives probing the targeted murders of billionaires Barry and Honey Sherman, police documents filed in court reveal.

thestar.com/news/canada/20…

The killing of the couple occurred on the evening of Wednesday, Dec. 13, 2017. Their bodies had gone undiscovered for 36 hours until a realtor, touring clients through their 12,000-square-foot north Toronto home, came upon a macabre scene.

NEW: An area in the northeast corner of Brampton has a “shocking” 19 per cent COVID-19 test positivity rate — a rate double that of the U.S. thestar.com/news/gta/2020/…
The area is leading a list of 30 GTA neighbourhoods that are seeing alarming numbers of people testing positive for the virus: one in five people test positive for COVID-19, the data shows.
thestar.com/news/gta/2020/…
The ICES data shows that over the past month, the test positivity rate is higher in the lowest-income neighbourhoods compared to the highest-income neighbourhoods — and is increasing more in the lower-income neighbourhoods.

Lest anyone forget. All parties at Queen’s Park will support government legislation making it illegal for any Ontario business owner to prohibit employees from wearing poppies for #RemembranceDay. #ONpoli story by @robertbenzie: thestar.com/politics/provi…
Why? The forthcoming law was sparked by Whole Foods Market banning staff from sporting @RoyalCdnLegion poppies on their uniforms. thestar.com/news/gta/2020/…
While the U.S.-based grocery chain, which is owned by Amazon and operates 14 high-end supermarkets in Canada, reversed its controversial policy after a nationwide outcry, it was still pushed to have a law on the books. thestar.com/news/gta/2020/…

This morning, Moderna said its COVID-19 vaccine appears to be 94.5 per cent effective, according to preliminary data from the company’s still ongoing study.

That is particularly good news for Canada. @alex_n_boyd explains:
thestar.com/news/canada/20…
Canada already has a contract in place for 56 million doses of the Moderna vaccine and 20 million doses of Pfizer’s candidate, should they complete testing and receive Health Canada approval.

thestar.com/news/canada/20…
The new Moderna results are an early look at the final stage of human testing, but the trial isn’t done yet, so things could change. At this point, the company says its results show no major safety concerns.
