Oct. 11, 1926: Hymie Weiss, the leader of Chicago’s North Side mob and Al Capone’s chief rival, is assassinated in a hail of machine gun bullets. One of his bodyguards is also dead and a lawyer is wounded in the broad-daylight ambush. The gunmen make a clean getaway.

It’s the Dock at Montrose’s penultimate day of the year.

Are you trapped?

The Bowmanville Cat Tour was great. Hundreds of happy people smiling at cats and greeting them by name. I overheard a toddler say to their mom, “Let’s go see more kitties!”

Wow — listen to these new comments from Trump. Thanking Putin, trashing Zelenskyy, characterizing Russia as eager for peace and Ukraine as intransigent. The mask is totally off.
