Question: White nationalists: Charlottesville just a beginning

— Emboldened and proclaiming victory after a bloody weekend in Virginia, white nationalists are planning more demonstrations to promote their agenda following the violence that left a woman dead and dozens injured.
The University of Florida said white provocateur Richard Spencer, whose appearances sometimes stoke unrest, is seeking permission to speak there next month. And white nationalist Preston Wiginton said he is planning a "White Lives Matter" rally at Texas A&M University in September.
Also, a neo-Confederate group has asked the state of Virginia for permission to rally at a monument to Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee in Richmond on Sept. 16, and other events are likely.
"We're going to be more active than ever before," Matthew Heimbach, a white nationalist leader, said Monday.
James Alex Fields Jr., a young man who was said to idolize Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany in high school, was charged with killing a woman by slamming a car into a group of counter-protesters at a white nationalist rally Sunday in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Fields, 20, who recently moved to Ohio from his home state of Kentucky, was held without bail on murder charges. He was photographed at the rally behind a shield bearing the emblem of the white nationalist Vanguard America, though the group denied he was a member.
Two state troopers also died Sunday when their helicopter crashed during an effort to contain the violence.
The U.S. Justice Department said it will review the violence, and Attorney General Jeff Sessions told ABC that the death of counter-protester Heather Heyer, 32, met the definition of domestic terrorism.
White nationalists said they were undaunted.
Heimbach, who said he was pepper-sprayed during the melee in Charlottesville, called the event Saturday "an absolute stunning victory" for the far right because of the large number of supporters who descended on the city to decry plans to remove a statue of Lee.
Hundreds of white nationalists, white supremacists, neo-Nazis, Ku Klux Klan members and others were involved, by some estimates, in what Heimbach, leader of the Traditionalist Workers Party, called the nation's biggest such event in a decade or more. Even more opponents turned out, and the two sides clashed violently.
A neo-Nazi website that helped promote the gathering said there will be more events soon.
"We are going to start doing this nonstop. Across the country," said the site, which internet domain host GoDaddy said it was shutting down after it mocked the woman killed in Charlottesville.
The head of the National Socialist Movement, Jeff Schoep, said Charlottesville was a "really good" white nationalist event that was being overshadowed by the deaths. "Any time someone loses their life it's unfortunate," he said.
He blamed the violence on inadequate police protection and counter-demonstrators and said he doubts white nationalists will be deterred from attending more such demonstrations.
Preserving memorials to the Old South has become an animating force for the white nationalist movement, not because all members are Southern, Schoep said, but because adherents see the drive to remove such monuments as part of a larger, anti-white crusade.
"It's an assault on American freedoms. Today it's Confederate monuments. Tomorrow it may be the Constitution or the American flag," Schoep said.
At the University of Florida, where Spencer has asked to speak, President W. Kent Fuchs called the events in Virginia "deplorable" but indicated school officials might be unable to block his appearance.
"While this speaker's views do not align with our values as an institution, we must follow the law, upholding the First Amendment not to discriminate based on content and provide access to a public space," Fuchs said in a message on the university's Facebook page.
Auburn University spent almost $30,000 in legal fees in an unsuccessful attempt to prevent Spencer from speaking on its campus in Alabama in April.

Here's what readers had to say about Saturday's clashes between white supremacists and counter-protesters in Charlottesville, Va.:
Donald Trump's presidential campaign rallies were always very clear in how he encouraged Americans to take sides -- particularly his own personally, against each other. Trump was recorded and taped exhorting his town hall followers to physically assault people who vocally interrupted his speeches, and some Trump protesters were indeed struck or spit upon in the crowds with Trump recorded offering to pay the legal fees of the assailants.
His initial assessment of the recent events in Virginia were that it has nothing to do with him and that " many side share the blame " -- while one specific side of the conflict openly state him as their motivation , and that they are there in part to fulfill the " Trump promise," aside from their stated protests against the removal of the statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee .
In hindsight, there were indeed many aspects all around regarding the tragedies in Virginia that plainly should have been handle better. No one should have died that day. No one should have been allowed to be assaulted. Voices should have been allowed to air as free speech -- not , two sides in open confrontation, each shouting down the other.
I could feel these tragic events on the horizon each time I saw a Trump presidential rally. We are allowing ourselves to become an America that is retreating from dialog and attempts at reason to a Trump "us against them" political climate .

Henderson: What's the source for white anger on display in Charlottesville?
The events in Charlottesville this weekend are abhorrent. The organizers of this event are mostly to blame but as far as I am concerned President Donald Trump is complicit in this bizarre and tragic spectacle. He ran a campaign that openly embraced white nationalist rhetoric and it was like pulling teeth to get him to disavow the support offered to him by the likes of David Duke and other “alt-right” personalities. Trump needs to own up to his ongoing role in stoking the flames of reactionary intolerance, which he continues to do in all of his policy choices. At this point the only decision I would respect coming from this man is his resignation.

More: Ex-Michigan Congressman John Dingell's response to Charlottesville goes viral
Donald Trump could help extinguish the white supremacy flare-up we are presently experiencing by scheduling a joint session session of Congress to speak directly to our leaders and the American people. He could explain that "taking back our country" and "making America great again" does not mean giving all the powers of government back to the white race. He could assure all Americans that the presidency, membership in his cabine, and all important governmental posts are open to people of all races, and that he is doing all in his power to keep it that way. He could make it clear that "making America great again" does not mean going back to something that previously existed, but rather, it means removing the evils which have crept into our present society and now prevent some of our people from sharing equally in our freedoms, our opportunities, our justice and our ability to earn a decent living.

It was very telling when David Duke, a leading figure of the KKK, made a pointed statement that he, KKK members, along with other hateful white supremacists, claim their mission at the demonstration in Charlottesville was part of a strategy to take back America and "Make America Great Again." Donald Trump had an unique opportunity to come out and forcefully condemn any association Duke thought his white racist, fellow bigots had with Trump's popular slogan but Trump failed miserably. Instead, while rightfully condemning "violence on many sides," Trump did nothing to distance himself from the growing cancer of race hatred in America. Trump has never before been reluctant to tweet, or publicly condemn, anyone he has disagreed with, so his lack of a strong condemnation of David Duke and his allies, is disgraceful, and unacceptable to the vast majority of Americans who believe America is still the melting pot of races from around the world.

In view of the events in Charlottesville and other similar events, I am disturbed by the continual use of the descriptive term "white" in the account of this tragedy and the reporting of too many similar events like this. Words have power, folks. Yes, I am "white" These people do not speak for me, their terrorist actions do not speak for any of the "white" people I know.
I am afraid that the continued repetition of the term "white," though descriptive of these "Alt-Right" scum, will cause a backlash of even more hate and injury. Look closely at the images of those who came to speak out against these Nazis; you'll see that many were, indeed, "white" people. A "white" woman was killed! Countless "white" people have fought and died, too, fighting against hate and for freedom and justice. Detroiter Viola Liuzzo went to Mississippi to fight against hate and was murdered by these fascists. My Dad was a "white" man and in World War II he risked his life fighting against the hate of fascists.

I am horrified by the scenes that unfolding on my TV screen from Virginia. Trump did not make anyone throw a punch or a rock, but he is at least partially responsible for emboldening those who would. By Saturday afternoon, about two hours after violence broke out at the white supremacists rally, the president should have been front denouncing such actions, and exercising leadership.
He can find time to tweet about all kinds of silly and even inappropriate stuff, but couldn't take the time to communicate directly with the American people when it was really important to do so.

Question: Cameroon doctor strike leaves patients unseen amid political crisis

This news article should be represented to find a fitting news title

YAOUNDE (Reuters) - A doctors' strike in Cameroon left patients without critical care in the capital Yaoude on Monday, the latest in a string of union actions that have crippled a country in the midst of political crisis.
The doctors union, known as SYMEC, demanded better working conditions and pay and left nurses to attend to sick patients in some of Yaounde's major hospitals.
The strike was not directly linked to other union action, but it adds to the turmoil in the central African country where protests have erupted since October in the Anglophone south- and northwest regions.
Teachers and lawyers have been on strike for months to protest at what they say is their marginalization by the French-speaking majority under President Paul Biya's 35-year rule. In reaction, the government has shut down the internet in English-speaking areas.
At Yaounde's Central Hospital on Monday, patients angrily waited to be seen, clutching prescriptions and test results, but there were no doctors in sight, a Reuters witness said.
"My father had a motorcycle accident and must undergo surgery today. But there are no surgeons, we are told that there is a strike, and the nurse told us that they only deal with the sick in-house or by appointment," said Marianne Balla, who was waiting in the Central Hospital.
The government said the strike was illegal as SYMEC is not a legally recognized union, a charge SYMEC dismissed as untrue.
It was not clear how well observed the strike was in other parts of the country. Some hospitals contacted by Reuters outside the capital said by telephone that they were operating normally.
The strike comes at a critical time for Biya, who is under pressure to peacefully resolve a growing crisis.
At least six protesters have been shot dead and hundreds others arrested during the rare challenge to state authority ahead of a presidential election next year.
In an apparent bid to stamp out online critics, the government has cut internet access in the two English-speaking regions for three months, hobbling business activity and prompting criticism from human rights groups and the United Nations.
Still, with Biya looking to extend his long rule next year, some expect government crackdowns to continue.
"With elections coming up next year, we can expect the situation to get much worse before it gets better," said Jeffrey Smith from campaign group Vanguard Africa.

Political parties in Congo signed a deal late Saturday that calls for President Joseph Kabila to leave power after an election that now will be held by the end of next year instead of mid-2018 as his party originally proposed. The New Year's Eve agreement comes after months of unrest that left dozens dead and threatened to further destabilize the vast Central African nation with a painful history of dictatorship and civil war.

Question: It’s not too late for Surrey mayor to say ‘I made a mistake’ on LRT

As the opinions of The Leader’s readers are reflective of the community, it seems the only person that thinks LRT is a good idea for Surrey is Mayor Linda Hepner.
I also wonder why she keeps on insisting on at-grade LRT. All the reasons expressed by letter writers Kuldip Pelia (“Why is Surrey Insisting on LRT over SkyTrain?”) and Larry Johnston (“LRT the worst possible system for Surrey”) to not have LRT are completely valid. Talk to anyone in Edmonton and ask them what they think of LRT. It’s essentially just a very long vehicle on the road creating congestion and collisions.
While SkyTrain is far from perfect, it is the system that the rest of the Lower Mainland has used successfully for 20-plus years. Most of the time it moves a lot of people quickly, efficiently and safely by keeping people and cars separate.
When was the last time SkyTrain was involved in any collision with anything? Why would the second-largest city in the Lower Mainland want a system that is isolated and incapable of compatibility instead of just adding to or building on the system that already exists?
Another point that I haven’t seen brought up is that while White Rock is trying to figure out how to move tracks, Hepner is trying to bring them in?
Mayor Hepner, it’s not too late to say “I made a mistake.”

Question: JUST IN – The Zhuwao Brief Reloaded Article 05

Represent the article to find a fitting news title

#2018Resistance welcomes New Patriotic Front
by Hon. Patrick Zhuwao on 3rd February 2018
The #2018Resistance welcomes the new political kid on the block, the New Patriotic Front
(NPF). As the NPF becomes the newest member of the ranks of pro-democracy formations in Zimbabwe, a number of questions are being raised.
Is it necessary to have another new political party? Is the NPF not an avenue to bring back President Robert Mugabe? Is the NPF not a surrogate of ZANU PF created to split the opposition votes? The traditional opposition is worried about NPF.
To answer the first question, the NPF’s Consultation Points Document provides a window
into the reasons for the creation of the NPF as it states, in the first sentence on page two, that:
“For Zimbabwe’s sake, it is a patriotic duty and generational responsibility to lawfully and
democratically reverse the bloody military coup of 15th November 2017, as soon as possible
and in the context of the elections that are constitutionally due between July and August this
year”. This seminal founding sentence encapsulates the beneficiary, obligations, objective,
means, timescale and rationale for establishing the NPF.
The beneficiary of the establishment of NPF is stated as being “for the sake of Zimbabwe”.
NPF is imposing upon itself the obligation of “patriotic duty and generational responsibility”
in order to achieve the objective of “reversing the bloody coup of 15th November 2017”. The
means for the reversal must be “lawful and democratic”. The timescale and rationale are that
this must be done “as soon as possible and in the context of the elections that are
constitutionally due between July and August this year”; the elections must be held between
23rd July and 22nd August 2018 in terms of Section 158, as read with Section 143 of the
Constitution of Zimbabwe.
The second question that is on the opposition’s minds is whether the NPF is not an avenue to
bring back President Robert Mugabe? It is important to acknowledge that the NPF’s objective
of reversing the bloody coup of 15 November 2017 is being feared and misinterpreted to
suggest the return of President Mugabe as Head of State and Government. It would definitely
be grossly unfair to President Mugabe to seek to burden and encumber him again with
responsibilities for the state given his contribution to Zimbabwe thus far. His family deserve
to also enjoy his company and presence. Apart from which, the return of President Mugabe is
definitely not the intent of the NPF as stated in key action point III of Section 3 of the
Consultation Points Document, on page seven, which calls for the “need for a civilian
transitional authority to prepare for free, fair and credible elections”.
Lastly, is the NPF not a surrogate of ZANU PF created to split the opposition votes? ZANU
PF is dead. It is now an immutable fact that ZANU PF was murdered during the bloody coup
of 15th November 2017. The stockholder mentality of the coup plotters and terrorist junta is
to take ZANU PF as “chinhu chedu” (our thing) at the exclusion of the people. This
exclusionary conceptualisation of being the stockholders of ZANU PF whilst and every other
member is regarded as being a mere stakeholder was articulated by Chiwenga in an interview
during the 2017 Independence celebrations.
Former ZANU PF members have to come to terms with being dumped; takarambwa (we
were ditched). There are those of us who were told in no uncertain terms that we are not
wanted in ZANU PF and divorce papers were served on us. Some of us received the divorce
token of violence, torture and a rain of bullets. Gupuro ranga riri bara (the divorce token was
a bullet). Others are still hopefully hanging in there in the manner that a battered and abused
spouse suffers continued abuse for the sake of the children. Bvumai kuti zvapera atenzi.
Recognize that ZANU PF is dead. What is left now is the ghost of a former liberation
movement.
Furthermore, it is important to note that liberation movements such as UNIP of Zambia, MCP
of Malawi and KANU of Kenya have not been able to survive the departure of their founding
fathers. In the case of ZANU PF, the violent and humiliating ouster of President Mugabe
makes it even worse as explained to one Vera, whose job description at ZANU PF
Headquarters includes consulting spirit mediums and the occult. The poor lady is currently
grappling with how she can inform Mnangagwa that, on her latest visit to the spirit medium,
he was given only five months to go.
Opposition political formations, including thought processes, paradigms and inclinations
opposed to ZANU PF, must come to terms with the fact that NPF is not an enemy but an
extremely useful ally. An ally that knows how to exorcise the troublesome ghost of the dead
ZANU PF. Pro-democracy formations therefore have an obligation to work with the NPF to
ensure that the coup conspirators and terrorist junta are stopped from the further militarisation
of constitutional governance.
The NPF is committed to the reversal of the bloody coup of 15th November 2017 and
subscribes to the demilitarisation of civilian processes in Zimbabwe. NPF has a definite and
credible plan on how this can be achieved. Although NPF views President Mugabe as the
Mentor par excellence, it acknowledges that he has been retired, albeit forcefully, and should
not be burdened and encumbered again. The NPF knows fully well that ZANU PF is dead.
Mnangagwa and Chiwenga are holding onto the decaying corpse of a deceased liberation
movement. NPF has the knowledge and capacity to deliver the final nail in the coffin for
ZANU PF.

Question: Save Bucks in Buena Park at a Free 4DX Film Fest

CGV Cinemas in Buena Park is screening "Minions" as well as three other films, for free, from Dec. 11 through 14, 2017. It's a first-come, first-served event, all to celebrate the 4DX technology.
What to Know CGV Cinemas in Buena Park
Dec. 11 through 14, 2017
Free; four recent hit films are on the list, but it is first-come, first-served for seats
Enjoy a film? It's never a standard, one-size-fits-all, one-popcorn-fits-the-bucket, one-story-is-the-same-as-the-next kind of experience, for any film lover, really.
But come the end of the year, how we take in movies can change up a little bit more than usual, compared to the 11 months that just led into December.
We're catching mega holiday blockbusters in theaters, we're revisiting beloved animated classics at home, and we're lining up our awards-type film fare, and what we need to see.
And if we happen to be in Buena Park, near CGV Cinemas Buena Park 8, and we're in that neck of the woods, er, of the Orange County, from Monday, Dec. 11 through Thursday, Dec. 14?
It's very likely we're there to enjoy a major flick, one that came out in the last couple of years, all for free, all while experiencing the new 4DX technology.
It's the 4DX Film Festival we're talking about here, it is on for four days, and there are four movies to choose from: "Jurassic World," "Minions," "Fate of the Furious," and "Furious 7."
And, four real, er, for real: The free seats'll go for these screenings, four sure. We mean, for sure.
Because the must-gotta know-keep in mind thing before trekking for the BP in the OC?
It's first-come, first-served, with no advance reservations. So if you have your flick-fancying heart set on one or all of those movies, and getting acquainted with 4DX, best arrive way early.
"Way" in "way early" is up to interpretation here, but we're not talking five minutes ahead of a film's start time.
You get us. The schedule is here. Plan accordingly.
The 4DX part of this great (as in free, which is almost always great) offer? It's pretty darn nifty. The tech is focused on "... delivering a fully immersive cinematic experience with motion chairs and environmental effects such as rain, wind, bubbles, lightening, and even scent."
What better time of year to get acquainted with this leap of movie-watching interactivity than in December, when fantasy elements are already woven through so much of what we encounter in our day-to-day doings?
So best score your free ticket at the CGV Cinemas box office through Dec. 14. And, yep, this is the very same place that had live monsters in the cinema lobby, haunting the concessions area, around Halloween.
Pushing envelopes, and moving theater seats, and creating lightening inside theaters, is clearly not too far up this venue's cinema-magic sleeve.

Question: Lebanese president in Egypt, defends Hezbollah’s arms

Represent this text to find a news title for it.

Aoun’s visit to Egypt is the first for the former army commander in 55 years. He was elected after a 29-month vacuum in Lebanon’s top post. He met with Egypt’s President Abdul Fattah Al Sissi who is, like him, a career military officer. Aoun was scheduled to address the Arab League later during his one-day visit.
In a news conference, Aoun said that he discussed with Al Sissi regional issues and called upon Egypt to lead an “Arab salvation plan” to combat terrorism in the Arab world. He also extended an invitation to Al Sissi to visit Lebanon. Lebanon’s political factions are deeply divided with some, like Aoun’s party and Hezbollah, aligning with Iran, while their opponents are siding with Saudi Arabia. Hezbollah, which represents much of Lebanon’s large Shiite community, has a military capability rivaling that of the country’s army and police. Aoun, whose Christian party is allied with Hezbollah, said earlier that Iran’s support for the group “could continue indefinitely.” “As long as the Lebanese army is not strong enough to battle Israel ... we feel the need for its existence,” Aoun told the Egyptian TV network CBC on Sunday night, alluding to Hezbollah. He added: “It has a complementary role to the Lebanese army.” His remarks could spark tension with Saudi Arabia which has been engaged in proxy wars with Iran across the region for years. Aoun’s visit to Egypt also comes amid a lingering rift between Egypt and Saudi Arabia over conflicting agendas, including Syria and Yemen. In October, the Saudis halted oil shipments to Egypt at a time when the Arab world’s most populous nation was undergoing an economic crisis. The Saudi move appears to have been taken in response to Egypt’s support of a UN Security Council resolution on Syria that was fiercely opposed by Riyadh. Saudi Arabia is a leading supporter of the rebels fighting to topple President Bashar Al Assad. Egypt has pushed for a political solution that might keep him in power. Meanwhile, Egypt has been reluctant to heavily support Saudi’s campaign in Yemen against Iran-backed Al Houthi rebels, which Saudis accuse of acting as an Iranian proxy in the Arab world’s poorest nation.

BEIRUT – Donald Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital will hasten the country’s destruction, Iran’s defense minister said on Monday, while a top Revolutionary Guards commander phoned two Palestinian armed groups and pledged support for them.
Leaders of Iran, where opposition to Israel and support for the Palestinian cause has been central to foreign policy since the 1979 Islamic revolution, have denounced last week’s announcement by the US president, including a plan to move the US embassy to the city.
The Palestinians want East Jerusalem as the capital of their future state.
“(Trump’s) step will hasten the destruction of the Zionist regime and will double the unity of Muslims,” Iran’s defense minister, Brigadier General Amir Hatami, said on Monday, according to state media.
The army’s chief of staff, General Mohammad Baqeri, said Trump’s “foolish move” could be seen as the beginning of a new intifada, or Palestinian uprising.
Iran has long supported a number of anti-Israeli militant groups, including the military wing of Lebanon-based Hezbollah, which the deputy commander of Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards, Brigadier General Hossein Salami, said was “stronger than the Zionist regime.”
Similarly, Qassem Soleimani, the head of the branch of the Guards that oversees operations outside of Iran’s borders pledged the Islamic Republic’s “complete support for Palestinian Islamic resistance movements” after phone calls with commanders from Islamic Jihad and the Izz al-Deen Qassam brigades, the armed wing of the Hamas movement, on Monday according to Sepah News, the news site of the Guards.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Monday stepped up efforts to rally Middle Eastern countries against US recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, which EU foreign ministers meanwhile declined to support.

Question: U.S., Europe expose trade divisions as tariff clock ticks

PARIS (Reuters) - Talks in Paris to avoid a transatlantic trade war showed no sign of a breakthrough on Wednesday, less than 48 hours before Donald Trump’s deadline on tariffs, as the United States and Europe defended opposing views of the global economic order.
Invoking memories of the pre-World War Two 1930s, French President Emmanuel Macron warned the world was at risk of sleepwalking towards war.
“Trade wars quickly become war, full stop,” Macron said. “This continent felt it in its flesh. It paid the consequences.”
Trump has imposed tariffs on imports of aluminum and steel, hitting China, but gave the European Union and some other partners a temporary exemption, which expires on Friday.
With less than two days before the deadline, talks were still going on at the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
The French and German finance ministers and the EU’s trade commissioner held a series of meetings with the U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross.
A French presidential adviser said U.S. tariffs were “very likely”. The Commission pointed to EU trade chief Cecilia Malmstrom’s comment on Tuesday that she expected some sort of U.S. measures to cap EU exports.
French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire and German counterpart Peter Altmaier told journalists the European response would be united and firm.
“We are prepared to react in a united and clear way whatever the decision of the president,” Altmaier said.
EU leaders agreed earlier in May to open discussions about market access for U.S. products, but only if Washington granted the EU a permanent exemption from tariffs.
Ross said the two should still negotiate even if the United States imposed tariffs on metals, without revealing whether that was Washington’s plan.
“There can be negotiations with or without tariffs in place. There are plenty of tariffs the EU has on us,” Ross told a panel.
China, he said, had continued to negotiate even after getting hit by tariffs. “It’s only the EU that is insisting we can’t negotiate if there are tariffs.”
A source at Macron’s office said it would be wrong to think China’s current trade talks with the United States meant “brutal bilateralism” had worked: “What we see so far is that China doesn’t seem to have given away much.”
Dutch Trade Minister Sigrid Kaag added that a 1962 trade law allowing protection for U.S. producers on national security grounds that Trump had invoked belonged to a different era.
LONG WTO CASES “A JOKE”
Ross also took aim at the World Trade Organization, where Washington has blocked appointments to its appeals chamber, effectively engineering a crisis in the system of settling global disputes.
Any dispute mechanism that takes multiple years to settle cases was “no good”, he said, labeling a 14-year case over subsidies for aircraft Airbus “a joke”.
He also said that in many multilateral organizations, people had substituted conversation for action.
“We don’t think just raising issues is adequate,” he said, adding that the WTO needed more than just the “tweak”.
Macron called on the world’s main economic powers to reform the WTO to save multilateralism and produce a blueprint by the end of the year.
Ross denied claims that U.S. tariffs would harm its own steel-consuming industries. The price of a can of soup would rise just a fraction of a cent and car prices would go up by less than 1 percent, he said.

“The sky has not fallen in the United States since we put the tariffs on. It hasn’t fallen and it won’t,” he said.

Question: Officer’s actions ‘one shining moment’ after Toronto van attack

Police are seen near a damaged van in Toronto after a van mounted a sidewalk crashing into a number of pedestrians on Monday, April 23, 2018. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Aaron Vincent Elkaim
The president of Toronto’s police union says an officer’s actions in arresting the suspect in a van attack that left at least 10 people dead Monday was “one shining moment” in an otherwise horrific day.
Mike McCormack of the Toronto Police Association says the arrest, caught on videos that have been widely circulated on social media, has served as a glimmer of hope for a city grappling with tragedy.
Related: 10 killed, 15 injured after van hits pedestrians in Toronto
In one of the videos, a man is heard calling for the officer to kill him, threatening that he has a gun in his pocket. The officer refuses to shoot and tells the man to get down.
McCormack says he’s been in touch with the unnamed arresting officer, who he says is overwhelmed with emotion.
He says the officer says he was just doing his job, and was more worried about the victims than anything else.
He says the officer told him his actions were “no big deal.”

Utah Rep. John Curtis speaks at safety summit
Utah Rep. John Curtis spoke at his School Safety Summit on Monday afternoon to talk about school safety, according to the Deseret News.
Curtis showed off the new features on display at Provo's Edgemont Elementary School, showing attendees a new school office where students can receive new lanyards and tags.
Once students enter, the door unlocks, providing safety for those inside the school.
Provo School District Superintendent Keith Ritte said he will continue to seek security measures for students.
"From my point of view, everything is on the table, but it's got to be functional and it should not be detracting from our education. So, if that means I've got to allocate more scarce resources to that level of security while I'm taking away from the ability of teachers to teach reasonably sized classes, it's going to be a bit of a challenge," Rittel said.

Donovan Mitchell catches fire in Utah Jazz win
The Utah Jazz took a commanding 3-1 series lead over the Oklahoma City Thunder in a rowdy NBA playoff game at Vivint Arena, according to the Deseret News.
Guard Donovan Mitchell was on fire throughout the game, scoring 33 points and nabbing seven rebounds.
Mitchell topped Karl Malone’s Jazz rookie playoff single-game scoring record of 31 points, set in 1986.
“We don’t quit,” Mitchell said. “The big fella (Rudy Gobert) said we’ll be fine. … It’s just a testament to the character of this team.”

Colorado man survives bear, shark, snake attack
Dylan McWilliams, a 20-year-old from Colorado, somehow has survived a bear, shark and snake attack, BBC News reported.
McWilliams suffered the latest attack, an April 19 brush with a shark, while he was bodyboarding in Hawaii.
"It's kind of crazy," McWilliams told the BBC from the island of Kauai. "I don't seem to have a lot of luck, but it's kind of lucky in unlucky situations."
He said he was boarding when something bumped into his leg.
Shocked, he looked down and noticed the shark beneath him.
"I saw the shark underneath me. I started kicking at it — I know I hit it at least once — and swam to shore as quickly as I could."

Police arrested Alek Minassian, 25, of Richmond Hill, Ontario.
Toronto Police Service Chief Mark Saunders said the crash was likely on purpose.
Witness Phil Zullo said he couldn’t believe the carnage.
"I must have seen about five, six people being resuscitated by bystanders and by ambulance drivers," Zullo said. "It was awful. Brutal."

NEW YORK (AP) - Luis Severino struck out 11 in seven overpowering innings, beating longtime Yankees nemesis Dallas Keuchel for the second time this year as New York topped the Houston Astros 5-3 on Wednesday night.
Gary Sanchez snapped an 0-for-19 slump with a two-run single and the Yankees took two of three from the reigning World Series champions this week to win the season series 5-2. Houston defeated New York in the 2017 AL Championship Series, with the home team winning all seven games.
If these budding rivals meet again this year, it will be in October.

Severino (8-1) allowed four hits, including Max Stassi's two-run homer, and walked one in winning his sixth consecutive decision. The ace right-hander, who hasn't lost since April 10 at Boston, threw a five-hitter with 10 strikeouts for his first career complete game in a 4-0 victory over Keuchel at Houston on May 2.
David Robertson struck out two in a scoreless eighth and Aroldis Chapman got three outs for his 12th save in 13 chances. Stassi, subbing for injured catcher Brian McCann, hit an RBI double with two outs in the ninth before Chapman fanned George Springer to end it.
After dominating the Yankees for years, Keuchel (3-7) dropped his third straight start against them - including the playoffs. The left-hander gave up four runs and seven hits in five-plus innings.
Keuchel entered 6-4 with a 1.82 ERA and two complete games in 10 outings against New York, including three postseason starts.
The 2015 AL Cy Young Award winner walked two batters in the first inning, and center fielder Jake Marisnick made a diving catch on a sacrifice fly by slumping slugger Giancarlo Stanton.
Sanchez rolled a two-run single through an open right side with two outs in the fifth to put the Yankees ahead 3-2.
Gleyber Torres doubled to start the sixth and scored from third on Didi Gregorius' single through a drawn-in infield that chased Keuchel. Aaron Hicks looped an RBI double off Collin McHugh later in the inning that got past a diving Marwin Gonzalez in left field.
Severino retired his first 11 batters, striking out seven of his first nine, before AL MVP Jose Altuve bounced a single through a wide-open right side.
New York (35-17), which has won 17 of its last 21 at home, matched a season high at 18 games above .500. The Yankees are 14-4 against left-handed starters and have won 10 of their past 11 completed series.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Astros: Slumping SS Carlos Correa was back in the lineup after a night off, and Springer took his turn receiving a rest. Springer struck out as a pinch hitter with two on to end the seventh and stayed in the game to play center field. ... OF Derek Fisher (gastrointestinal discomfort) had a scheduled day off on his rehab assignment at Triple-A Fresno, manager AJ Hinch said. ... The team was awaiting an update on McCann (sore right knee) after he was examined by doctors in Houston.
Yankees: RHP Adam Warren, on the DL since April 21 with a back strain, threw 41 pitches over three scoreless innings in a rehab start for Double-A Trenton. He allowed one hit and struck out three. ... 1B Greg Bird was rested, leaving Gregorius as the only left-handed batter in the starting lineup against Keuchel.
UP NEXT
Astros: Return home to face another 2017 playoff opponent in Boston. RHP Lance McCullers Jr. (6-3, 3.98 ERA) starts the opener of a four-game series Thursday night against LHP Drew Pomeranz (1-2, 6.75 ERA).
Yankees: An 11-game road trip that takes them to four cities, although they finish up in New York against the crosstown rival Mets at Citi Field. RHP Sonny Gray (3-4, 5.98 ERA) tries to rebound from his latest disappointing start Thursday night in Baltimore. RHP Andrew Cashner (2-6, 5.07 ERA) goes for the last-place Orioles.

Giancarlo Stanton homered again, tying the Miami Marlins' season record, and he became the sixth fastest player to reach 250 career homers.
With one swing of the bat in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Colorado Rockies, Miami Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton made history in a couple of ways.
Stanton's third-inning home run off Rockies starter German Márquez was his 42nd of the season, tying Gary Sheffield for the Marlins' single-season record, set in 1996.
Even more impressive, it was career home run number 250. Only Ryan Howard, Ralph Kiner, Harmon Killebrew, Albert Pujols and Juan Gonzalez reached the milestone faster than Stanton, 27.
"It's been fun," Stanton told reporters after the game. "It's been a fun challenge every night for me.
"There's sometimes where if [a pitcher] throws his pitch, it's going to get demolished. Can't explain it. As long as I get extension and lift on the ball, it's going to go."
Thanks to Stanton, the Marlins completed a three-game sweep of Colorado at Marlins Park. He homered in all three games.

SALE SINKS YANKEES
In a key matchup with the rival Yankees, Red Sox lefty Chris Sale performed brilliantly, striking out 12 and yielding only four hits and one earned run in seven innings of work.
Royals second baseman Whit Merrifield homered, tripled and drove in five runs in Kansas City's win. He went three-for-six at the plate.
PARKER IN GAME TO FORGET
Giants outfielder Jarrett Parker struck out six times and went 0-for-nine against the Nationals in a doubleheader. He stranded five runners in the opener.
GORDON DENIES DELMONICO
Nicky Delmonico was probably thinking "home run," but Royals centrefielder Alex Gordon was thinking, "this is the final out."
BRAVES AT ROCKIES
On Monday, Rockies pitcher Chad Bettis will make his first MLB start since being diagnosed with testicular cancer last November. The 28-year-old right-hander underwent surgery and later chemotherapy in his treatment. He was 14-8 with a 4.79 ERA last season. Bettis will face Julio Teheran (7-1, 5.25 ERA)

Fancy creating a screencast or a presentation involving demos of iPad apps, or a PiP (Picture in Picture) video presentation of new software? Then ScreenFlow has been your best option for some years now. Telestream recently released version 7, which improves on an already winning formula and has aspirations as an NLE as well.
The best new feature for creating a professional video presentation is animated text. ScreenFlow 7 lets you add a number of animations to your videos with enough options to create unique effects. One new feature that I don’t fully understand the need for is that you can now set your clips to play in reverse on the timeline.
More useful in my opinion is the Global Library. We already had project libraries, now you can show assets under the Global Library icon and store and reuse common assets here, such as your intro/outro graphics for each video. This is going to be a real time saver and it will also save some space on your disk.
The new export dialogue has the ability to switch from automatic to manual mode. By default, the export dialogue starts in automatic mode, showing presets as it used to, but you can now also easily create your own export settings in its own tab. ScreenFlow 7 lets you select between higher quality or quicker exports and automatically picks the best settings for your project.
One thing that I am very happy with is the audio waveform progress bar. Often, when you’re editing a large ScreenFlow project, the audio waveform doesn’t show immediately and it may in fact take a while before it does, making edits almost impossible. ScreenFlow 7 will now inform you that it is performing an intensive process in the background, and will show you when it has finished.
Other improvements include ScreenFlow 7 now taking advantage of hardware accelerated, multi-pass x264 encoding, which is said to improve quality of exports when compared with single-pass. The app also supports 60fps timeline frame rates. In the bottom right there’s an indicator that shows the mode you’re in. A shortcut manager lets you add new shortcut keys to commands that did not previously have a shortcut assigned to it or change existing ones. The shortcut manager even lets you have different shortcut sets.
Another improvement is the new support for custom interfaces that come with most Apple Audio units (AU). Unfortunately at the time of testing there was a bug in this which caused the app to crash. I tried it with Apple’s own and those were the only ones working fine. iZotope’s make ScreenFlow hang and NUGEN Audio’s crash it hard. No doubt Telestream will fix this issue quickly, as Apple’s collection is a bit on the skinny side.
Finally, ScreenFlow 7 will allow you to quickly and easily publish directly to Imgur. There’s no need to export as you can simply visit the upload page, find your file, and submit.
ScreenFlow 7 is certainly worth the upgrade price of $39 (from ScreenFlow 6.x) and its $129 price for a full licence is pretty decent too, at least if Telestream fixes those AU interface problems.

Question: How year away from baseball changed Yankees’ Greg Bird

Represent this text to find a news title for it

TAMPA — This is why Greg Bird will not be stopped.
The biggest setback in Bird’s career has become his biggest strength.
“The things I learned over last summer, baseball and life is all experiences,’’ Bird told The Post on Friday at George M. Steinbrenner Field about coming back from a torn right shoulder labrum. “I’ve never really wanted to take a year off from baseball. But not to be able to really do baseball, and much else, so early in my career was extremely difficult for me.
“I had a hard time sometimes — even talking.
“You don’t always get what you want,’’ Bird said.
Sometimes, well, you might find you get what you need.
Does Bird feel he became a better ballplayer as a result of going through shoulder surgery and intensive rehab?
“I do,’’ he said. “I told my mom that the other day, I said, ‘I didn’t play at all, and everybody talks about at-bats, but I feel better than I was before. Physically and mentally.’ ”
There’s more.
“And you become a better person,’’ said Bird, who is already rock solid at the age of 24 and is one of the young Yankees leaders, part of the new core four in the making. “If you handle it the right way and get something out of it.’’
And the magic came back in his swing just this week. Bird had been dealing with this shoulder injury since May 2015.
“In early 2015, I was trying to hit the way I hit and I couldn’t,’’ he said. “I’m a big feel guy and I couldn’t feel what I wanted to feel. I tried different bats and different things.’’
Your browser does not support iframes.
Bird wasn’t quite right even though he came up to the Yankees in mid-August and produced, batting .261 with nine doubles and 11 home runs over 46 games, leading the club in home runs over that span.
His surgery took place on Feb. 2, 2016. He rehabbed to regain strength, but he had to regain the lost feel of his swing. It wasn’t there during his stint in the Arizona Fall League.
“But four or five days ago, I got in the cage and got the work in that I wanted to get in and the feel was back,’’ Bird said. “I found what I was looking for so long. The shoulder is stable and strong and the feel in my swing is back. It was just so cool to me, I don’t know what else to say, it’s really awesome to feel that way again.’’
Witness his three home runs, including a booming one in his last game Thursday night. No player, heading into Friday, had hit more home runs this spring.
There is life again in his sweet left-handed swing. He has learned the greatest baseball lesson of all.
“I learned patience and staying within the day, that’s a big lesson to learn in baseball,’’ Bird said. “It’s a lesson in a lot of different things, level-headedness, modesty, it can change quickly.
“I don’t recommend it to anyone, but this is really going to serve me well going forward as far as my career. It was a crash course in not being able to do it so suddenly.’’
Sitting out the 2016 season was so difficult and it hit him hard that last day of spring training.
“They were all leaving and I wasn’t,’’ he said. “I wanted to be so bad.’’
Now there is a freshness to life.
“I can go home at night and I can live my life, I wake up in morning and I can go to the field knowing that I can do what I need to do and want to do that day so that is just like a weight off my shoulders and a really cool one,’’ Bird said.
“Normal wasn’t normal for a long time. This is just awesome. Everybody asks me about results, but the fact that I can go home and wake up in the morning and do the things I do is like hallelujah to me because I didn’t have it.’’
Greg Bird has it all going now.

The Hall of Famer worked out this offseason with Luis Severino, the young right-hander the Yankees are counting on to bounce back from a miserable season to become an important part of the rotation again. The sessions, about five of them, happened in the Dominican Republic after Severino reached out to a mutual friend to help set up a meeting.

Question: 6-Year-Old YouTube Star Earns $11 Million Reviewing Toys

CBS Local — A family’s toy review videos, starring their six-year-old son, has turned the youngster into one of the richest YouTube stars online.
Ryan, the star of Ryan ToysReview, finished in the Top 10 of Forbes’ highest-paid YouTube stars in the world this year. The six-year-old’s massively popular channel has reportedly earned $11 million in 2017.
The channel has attracted a huge following of parents and children who watch Ryan test out new toys and give his thoughts on them. Ryan ToysReview started in 2015 when the boy was only four; it now has over 10 million subscribers and his videos were reportedly viewed over eight billion times during the 12-month period Forbes was tracking them.
“He loves Cars, Trains, Thomas and friends, Lego, Superheroes, Disney toys, open surprise eggs, play doh , Pixar Disney cars , Disney Planes, monster trucks, minions, playtime at the fun, family fun adventure and so much more!,” Ryan’s parents write on the family’s YouTube channel.
Ryan’s family says the child star was inspired by watching other children and programs on YouTube and wanted to join the party. “One day, he asked me, ‘How come I’m not on YouTube when all the other kids are?’ So we just decided — yeah, we can do that. Then, we took him to the store to get his very first toy — I think it was a Lego train set — and it all started from there,” the boy’s mother said, via TubeFilter.
The family, who decided to keep their last name and location a secret for their son’s safety, says the show will only go on as long as Ryan continues to enjoy it. Once the youngster gets bored with his hit show, his parents say Ryan stop giving out the multi-million-dollar reviews.

Question: Joannie Rochette to enter Skate Canada Hall of Fame

Joannie Rochette, who captured the hearts of Canadians when she competed at the Vancouver Olympics just days after her mother's death, is headed to Skate Canada's Hall of Fame.
She will be joined in the class of 2017 by fellow singles skater Jennifer Robinson, the coaching teams of Sadie and Albert Enders and Josee Picard and Eric Gillies, and builders Ron Vincent and Steve Milton.
The figure skater captured bronze at the Vancouver Games just days after her mom died of a heart attack. She carried Canada's flag in the closing ceremony and then returned home to grieve.

Rochette, 31, from Ile-Dupas, Que., also won silver at the 2009 world championships as well as two silver and a bronze at the annual Four Continents meet.
Robinson is a six-time Canadian champion from Goderich, Ont., who competed at one Olympics and eight world championships.
The Enders, who are entering the hall posthumously, were coaching pioneers in singles, ice dance and pairs. They guided Suzanne Morrow and Wallace Diestelmeyer to Olympic and world bronze medals in 1948.
Picard and Gillies have coached skaters to Canadian and international medals in singles, pairs and ice dance. Olympic medallists Isabelle Brasseur and Lloyd Eisler and world champions Shae-Lynn Bourne and Victor Kraatz trained under Picard and Gillies.
Vincent has spent his life developing and implementing coach education programs while Milton has covered figure skating for over 35 years as a reporter.

Question: Simone Askew is first black woman to lead West Point cadets

WEST POINT, N.Y. (AP) — Simone Askew marched into history Monday as the first black woman to lead the Long Grey Line at the U.S. Military Academy.
After an early morning 12-mile march back to the grey stone academic complex with 1,200 new cadets she led through the rigors of basic training at “Beast Barracks,” the 20-year-old international history major from Fairfax, Virginia, assumed duties as first captain of the 4,400-member Corps of Cadets. That’s the highest position in the cadet chain of command at West Point.
“It’s humbling, but also exciting as I step into this new opportunity to lead the corps to greatness with my teammates with me,” a beaming Askew, still in camouflage fatigues from her march, told reporters.
As first captain, Askew is responsible for the overall performance of the Corps of Cadets. Her duties also include implementing a class agenda and acting as a liaison between the cadets and the administration.
“Simone truly exemplifies our values of Duty, Honor, Country,” said Brig. Gen. Steven W. Gilland, commandant of cadets.
“I can’t believe this has happened in my lifetime,” said Pat Locke, one of two African American women in the first class of women to graduate from West Point in 1980. “When I entered the Academy in 1976, the men did not want us there. Now 40 years later, everybody recognizes the talent and skills women bring to the game.”
Gen. Vincent K. Brooks, commander of U.S. Forces Korea, was West Point’s first African American first captain in 1979. The first female in that role, in 1989, was Col. Kristin Baker, now commander of the Joint Intelligence Operations Center Europe, Analytic Center.
Women make up about 20 percent of cadets, who are usually commissioned as first lieutenants in the Army upon graduation. The academy created a diversity office in 2014 with the goal of recruiting more women and African Americans and increasing diversity among department heads and other leaders.
Pam Askew, of Fairfax, says her daughter is a natural born leader with incredible drive.
“That leadership is something I’ve seen throughout her life — wanting to be first, wanting to be the best, wanting to win, in sports, in academics, in every aspect of her life,” Askew said. “And to serve others, as well.”
Askew’s appointment comes a year after a photo of 16 graduating black female cadets raising their fists drew criticism from online commentators who accused them of supporting the Black Lives Matter movement. Supporters said they were making a gesture of solidarity and accomplishment as graduation drew near. West Point investigated and determined they hadn’t violated any Army rules.
“What that photo said to me was how few black women are graduating,” Locke said. “We average less than 20 African American women graduating each year out of a class of 1,000. And yet, out of that 20 we got a first captain. Isn’t that amazing?”
Locke, a West Point volunteer who has been a mentor to Askew and other cadets, said she’ll hold her up as a role model for girls when she holds workshops on leadership and academics at schools in inner cities around the country.
Asked for her advice to young people aspiring to excel, Askew said: “Allow yourself to be a vessel. Throughout my cadet career I’ve just really focused on being poured into, seeking advice, seeking development, leadership mentors wherever I could. Just truly be a vessel and be poured into.”

Cadet Matthew Krusiec of Portland, Maine, will receive the flags at this week's football game against Boston College.
The Virginia Tech Corps of Cadets and the Virginia Tech football team continue their proud partnership to highlight the colors during the pre-game ceremony at every football game.
Three football players, chosen because of their performance in the last game or at practice, carry the American flag, the state flag, and the team's spirit flag as they lead the team onto the field. They deliver them to cadets at the south end of the field.
Cadets, also selected based on their performance during training, render honor to the flags and then carry them off the field. At home games three first-year cadets are selected, and one or two upper-class cadets travel with the team and receive the flags at away games. Krusiec, a junior majoring in history in the College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences with minors in Chinese and Asian studies, was chosen for his overall attitude and well-roundedness.
He is in Air Force ROTC and is the recipient of a corps Emerging Leader Scholarship and an Air Force Scholarship.

Question: Toronto couple hit housing jackpot

This news article should be represented to find a fitting news title!

TORONTO -
Sarah Blakely recalls feeling some trepidation when she and her husband shelled out more than $300,000 for a modest 1 1/2-storey house in a less-desirable part of Toronto.
Seven years later, they found themselves on the right side of a hot housing market, with values tripling in a ’hood suddenly considered up-and-coming for young families seeking detached homes.
They recently sold that renovated three-bedroom for more than $1 million and now expect to live mortgage-free in a four-bedroom purchase in their hometown of Ottawa.
The 34-year-old says it made sense to cash out of a city that was draining their finances, energy and family time.
“My husband and I saw an opportunity to take advantage of the recent gains in real estate and to move to a less expensive city to live mortgage-free, support our savings for retirement and also to be closer to family,” says Blakely, whose new home has nearly twice the square footage.
And they may have taken action at just the right time.
Blakely’s real estate agent Josie Stern says the market appears to be cooling, and doubts Blakely could fetch that same jackpot sale today.
“A little bit of air has been let out of the bubble,” she says.
Many buyers and sellers are waiting to see what will come of Tuesday’s scheduled meeting between Finance Minister Bill Morneau, Ontario Finance Minister Charles Sousa and Toronto Mayor John Tory, who are expected to discuss ways to rein in Toronto’s hot housing market.
Meanwhile, the Ontario government is promising to announce affordability measures soon.
Stern says some buyers are delaying their purchase in anticipation of possible fixes.
“Buyers have been in such a stressful situation for so long that now they think somebody is going to save them and they’re waiting,” says Stern. “They’ve dug their heels in, they’re tired of competition and then there’s those that are still proceeding, but there’s been quite a big pullback from buyers.”
Sellers who’ve bought new homes are rushing to list their old property, she adds, but many are not getting the high bids seen a month ago.
The Toronto market has been astonishing, with the average sale in the Greater Toronto Area skyrocketing last month to $916,567. That’s up 33.2 per cent from a year ago.
With strong demand and limited supply, it wasn’t uncommon for bidding wars to result in sales hundreds of thousands of dollars above asking. And a lot of those sellers took those dollars out of the Greater Toronto Area where they can get more acreage, less congestion and still pocket a fair bit of cash.
“We’re finding that a lot of people are leaving the city,” says Stern, who estimates that about a third of her 35 sales this year involved sellers either downsizing to condos or moving to more affordable markets.
“It’s empty-nesters, it’s (couples with) babies, it’s all kinds of people that are doing this.”
Even with a new uncertainty in the air, it’s still a seller’s market, she adds.
One of her biggest sales was a $2-million listing that went $575,000 over asking in February. The sellers moved to the commuter city of Burlington, Ont.
They’re joining buyers priced out of the Toronto market who have gone looking for cheaper housing in smaller communities across the Golden Horseshoe, spurring other sales spikes in the region — Hamilton-Burlington homes jumped 22.6 per cent during the first two months of 2017 compared to a year earlier.
Still other buyers are looking farther afield.
Remember that relatively inexpensive Nova Scotia mansion that dominated Facebook last month?
Real estate agent Wanda Graves of Eastern Valley Real Estate says it’s sparked more inquiries from Ontario, Manitoba, Alberta and B.C. house hunters suddenly hip to Eastern Canada’s charms.
Nova Scotia sellers are taking notice, and are marketing to out-of-province buyers now considered increasingly likely to make an offer.
“They know that there are buyers out there and now it’s, ’How do we reach them?”’ says Graves.
Before selling for $455,000, the mansion in Newport Landing, N.S., drew more than one million views on her company’s website and 36,000 shares on Facebook.
It’s a story Vancouver real estate agent Melissa Wu knows well.
Years of record-setting sales saw Vancouver homeowners cash out for smaller markets with more space.
But that changed after the B.C. government introduced a 15 per cent foreign buyers’ tax last summer, which Wu says especially soured interest in west Vancouver luxury homes priced at more than $4 million.
Detached homes in the $1-million to $2-million range in east Vancouver are doing well and still notching close to record highs, says Wu.
Her recent sales included a $2-million get for a century-old home owned by a retired couple. Their plan is to downsize to an older condo costing less than $500,000. The rest of the proceeds will go to their kids and retirement fund.
She says the sale was a record high for the neighbourhood, but it took an agonizing three weeks to secure — longer than it would have last year, she says.
She advises Toronto homeowners thinking of selling to take advantage while they can.
“There’s always a shift coming in,” she says of this hot market. “Sell before it corrects.”
Stern would like to see a crackdown on real estate speculators in Toronto, citing one buyer who bought 15 properties in the last two years.
And she cautions those tempted to cash out that there’s always a risk the market won’t co-operate.
“People have been asking themselves that question since the year 2000: Should I sell? Should I cash out?
“And there have been people who have cashed out and have regretted it because they’ve seen what the market has (done) — they’ve never been able to rebuy the houses that they’ve sold.”

Georgia special
The special election in Georgia to fill HHS Secretary Tom Price’s old congressional seat could end with a historic Democratic upset. The Sixth District seat has been held by a Republican continuously since Newt Gingrich won it in 1978, but changing demographics and what’s known as a “jungle primary” are giving Democrat Jon Ossoff a shot at winning today’s vote.
Georgia tea leaves
Spanning wealthier and Republican-leaning suburbs north of Atlanta, Tom Price’s old seat is just the kind of place Democrats would love to pull off an upset. They’d point to it as evidence of excitement in their base, and support from the upper-income Republicans and college graduates who eluded them in 2016. But winning will be tough. We look at data from the 50,000 early votes already cast to gauge the contest.
Custody battle
A lawyer for conservative radio show host Alex Jones says his client is nothing more than a showman. He said it in a Texas court, where Jones is fighting for custody of his children. His ex-wife argues the views and conspiracy theories on Jones’ radio show prove he’s unfit for fatherhood.
Silver lining
Whatever your feelings about tax day, retailers want you to know they feel your pain (or relief). The tax day freebie has become something of a modern tradition as corporations angle for new customers. Here’s a sampling of the companies trying to take some sting out of today by offering big discounts and free stuff.
Church cops
Alabama lawmakers could send a bill to the governor this week that would allow a megachurch to establish its own police force. The bill has already passed the state Senate and is awaiting a House vote. We take a look at why the plan is getting mixed reactions.
Corn sole
Reebok is creating its first shoe made entirely from biological materials. The shoe, available this fall, will have a cotton upper and a sole made from Susterra, a corn-based plastic substitute. It’s intended to be completely compostable, and will even use biologically derived glue to join the pieces together.
