Ontario students are supposed to be back in school today, but Mother Nature had different plans.

As schools close, social media lights up with kids (and dogs) playing in the snow.

Drivers, commuters and those out there shovelling were greeted with 20 to 40 cm of snow across Toronto and the GTA.

And while it may look goofy, with this much snow it's recommended to walk like a penguin to avoid winter wipeouts. Here's a reminder from 2019.

For some essential workers, there is no snow day. thestar.com/news/gta/2022/… Image

With Omicron cases high, and students making their return to in-person learning, some parents are troubled by suggestions about how the children should eat lunch.
thestar.com/news/gta/2022/…
Amid the confusion of students returning to school as COVID cases surge, Lisa Petsinis said she’s troubled by a suggestion from her daughter’s school about lunchtime: that kids briefly remove their masks to take a bite to eat and put them back on to chew. thestar.com/news/gta/2022/…
Premier Doug Ford and the chief medical officer of health said the move to online school for two weeks was to allow for greater safety measures, including more HEPA filters, rapid tests, N95 masks for staff and more vaccine doses for teachers and students. thestar.com/news/gta/2022/…

The swift suspension of Alberta justice minister Kaycee Madu, in the wake of reports that he called Edmonton’s chief of police after receiving a distracted driving ticket, is drawing expressions of concern from some from the province’s Black communities. thestar.com/news/canada/20…
Both police Chief Dale McFee and Madu said he never asked to have the ticket cancelled. Madu said instead he spoke to the police chief about concerns over racial profiling and police surveillance of politicians. He added that he paid the ticket "promptly." thestar.com/news/canada/20…
“It’s essential the independent administration of justice is maintained,” Jason Kenney tweeted Monday.

Others say the issues Madu is said to have raised are legitimate and the sort they would hope he would address in his capacity as justice minister. thestar.com/news/canada/20… Image

This Ontario gunsmith was killed after Toronto police raided his workshop.

Police said he transferred two handguns by illegally removing their serial numbers. The family says the theory makes no sense.

@Jleerankin reports:
thestar.com/news/gta/2022/…
Rodger Kotanko tended to the firearms of loyal customers — police officers and soldiers among them. He was an experienced and licensed gunsmith with a certificate to acquire non-restricted, restricted and prohibited firearms, a police ITO read.
thestar.com/news/gta/2022/… ImageImage
On Nov. 3, Kotanko was shot dead by one officer. Seven other officers have been designated as witnesses to the events that have raised many questions in a community where Kotanko was respected. thestar.com/news/gta/2022/…
