#StarInvestigation: A Toronto private school was sued over a student’s alleged sexual assault. The school’s name was kept secret until now.

Upper Canada College’s identity had been concealed by a sweeping publication ban — a move that legal experts called a troubling and unprecedented overreach.

The ban has now been overturned, and the all-boys school denies any wrongdoing.

In the lawsuit, a student alleges he was violently sexually assaulted by classmates on a camp trip.

All defendants — the private school, four faculty members and two students — have denied the allegations. The case is ongoing.

One of the plaintiff’s lawyers said if the judge's decision on the publication ban had been upheld, it would have set a precedent that would allow private institutions to "avoid accountability”and “navigate the court process in the shadows.”

In overturning Ontario Superior Court Justice Grant R. Dow’s decision, a panel of three Ontario Court of Appeal judges agreed with the Star that it was not necessary to conceal the school to protect the identities of the students.

Canadian pension plans control trillions of dollars in contributions, but in recent years, far less of that money has gone to investments in homegrown companies than in the past.

Here's why market watchers are concerned.

“We think that there’s a there’s a fundamental fallacy in the concept that small countries should not invest in their own economy,” Daniel Brosseau, co-founder of the independent investment firm Letko Brosseau, told the Star.

By the end of 2021, Canadian stocks made up less than 4% of total assets held by the country’s defined benefit plans. Canadian pensions also invest far less in domestic companies on a proportionate basis than U.S. pension managers do. thestar.com/business/2022/…

Elderly hospital patients cleared for discharge but who refuse to move into a bed at a nursing home they have already chosen could soon face daily co-payments of $62 if they are not being billed already, says Long-Term Care Minister Paul Calandra.
thestar.com/politics/provi…
The $62 daily charge would go to the hospital to cover the costs of food and operating the bed, not to the government. The payments are identical to what is paid for a long-term care bed.
thestar.com/politics/provi…
Amid confusion about what fees would apply and when, opposition parties raised concerns about the prospect of elderly patients being charged the full daily uninsured rate for a hospital bed — which can be as much as $1,500 or more. thestar.com/politics/provi…

Waterloo police are investigating reports of a rental scam that has left three students out thousands of dollars and at least one with nowhere to live next month — one example of a growing fraud problem across the country amid spiking rental demand. torstar.co/gNiv50Kra7f
One of the students, Armina Soleymani, told the Star she was robbed of her entire savings.

“What makes me mad is I took every precaution to protect myself."

Soleymani said more needs to be done to prevent others from falling into the same convincing trap.

She said the scammer even gave her a tour of the apartment and showed her identification.

Ontario’s population is expected to experience sustained growth over the next two decades, but the province may not have the infrastructure to support the booming — and aging — population, some experts warn.
thestar.com/business/2022/…
The number of residents in the province could climb to more than 19 million by 2043, an increase of about 30 per cent since 2021, according to new projections from Statistics Canada.

That figure is based on a forecast of medium growth, outlined in a report released Monday, which laid out various population projections for the coming decades.

Should I stay or should I own?

Almost two thirds of Canadian millennials who don’t already own a home are confident they will one day, but 52% say they would have to relocate to do so. thestar.com/real-estate/20…
Despite millennials saying they’d have to leave the city they love to buy a home, the generation could end up with a higher rate of home ownership than baby boomers, according to Phil Soper, CEO of Royal LePage. thestar.com/real-estate/20…
Around 73% of baby boomers currently own their homes, which is the highest rate of any generation, said Soper (the overall rate in Canada is more than 68%).
