Unjust invasions are happening across Canada as police mislead courts, bungle warrants and violate suspects’ rights.

This is part four of #Unchartered:
torstar.co/fKU250JOH63 thestar.com/news/investiga…
A Torstar investigation has found dozens of cases over the last decade where police have misled courts to obtain search warrants that were later found to have violated the Charter rights of people facing charges.

The judicial findings about these bungled or deceitful search warrant applications are among the more than 600 court rulings over the past decade where judges concluded that officers committed serious Charter violations.

Since 2017, the rulings have occurred at a rate of two per week, a Torstar investigation found, and experts say it’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Torstar's investigation found that on more than 40 occasions, judges took serious action to correct the police conduct, including dismissing charges or tossing evidence.

In one case, a judge tossed out drug and firearm evidence against a suspected dealer because a Toronto police officer deliberately misled a justice of peace in his search warrant application.

“It undermines our confidence in the justice system when the police are securing search warrants ... relying on false or misleading information," said Daniel Brown, a Toronto defence lawyer and vice president of Canada’s Criminal Lawyers’ Association.

The majority of economists surveyed by the Star forecast that Toronto’s home prices are set to decline by 30 per cent or more from the February peak to spring 2023.

This is a drop many economists would define as a housing crash — as the Bank of Canada continues to push interest rates upward to curb inflation.

And at least another three-quarter percentage point rate hike is coming next week. An illustration of houses in a bubble
If history is any guide, there is a chance prices could drop even more, as the crash takes on a life of its own and investors abandon a tanking market, propelling house prices down longer and further than many expect.

If you could only describe Toronto in one word, what would it be?

Ahead of the city's election we asked 625 people in every region of the city. This is the good, the bad and the ugly of what they had to say.

Toronto became majority non-white with the 2016 census and cultural neighbourhoods have always been a defining characteristic of the city.

“Midnights” might be the best album of Taylor Swift’s discography, writes @aisling_murph_.

Swift rifles through the pages of her personal life like a scrapbook, giggling at inside jokes and revelling in the creative choices that propelled her to stardom over a decade ago, says Murphy.

Though “Midnights” was officially released at 12 a.m. on Oct. 21, the “3AM” B-side was, you guessed it, released to the hounds just three hours later.
