Toronto Police are being heavily criticized online for what many consider a shoulder-shrugging approach to the rash of car thefts that continue to plague the Greater Toronto Area. At an Etobicoke safety meeting last month, Cst. Marco Ricciardi advised residents to leave their key fobs in a faraday pouch in a convenient place for thieves as a way to lessen the risk of violent confrontations. "To prevent the possibility of being attacked in your home, leave your fobs at the front door because they are breaking into your home to steal your car; they don't want anything else. "A lot of them that they're arresting have guns on them and they are not toy guns," he ominously added. "They are real guns. They're loaded." That advice sparked an angry reaction on X, formerly known as Twitter. read more

Governor Ron DeSantis celebrated Florida's private sector job growth rate, which increased by 0.4 percent (+37,900 jobs) in January 2024. This is double the national rate of 0.2 percent over the same period. Florida's economic data continues to indicate economic stability and confidence among Florida's workforce as the state's labor force grew by 2.2 percent (+243,000) over the year in January 2024, which is faster than the national over-the-year rate of 0.8 percent, including 16,000 net new workforce participants in January 2024. "Florida has started off the year strong by growing jobs at twice the national average," said Governor Ron DeSantis. "Florida continuously outperforms the national economy with fiscal stewardship, growth friendly policies, limited government spending, and one of the lowest tax burdens per capita in the nation." read more

Eight juveniles were shot at a SEPTA bus stop in Philadelphia's Burholme neighborhood Wednesday afternoon. The gunfire rang out around 3 p.m. at Rising Sun and Cottman avenues as students with Northeast High School were waiting for the bus. According to Philadelphia Police Commissioner Kevin Bethel, eight students -- between the ages of 15 and 17 -- were shot when three gunmen exited a vehicle and opened fire. One of the students is listed as critical at an area hospital. There was no immediate word on the conditions of the seven other victims. Bethel says over 30 shots were fired at the scene. Sources say police are looking for three shooters and a driver in a dark blue Hyundai Elantra with paper tags. The suspects were all wearing masks and were last seen driving over the Tookany Creek Bridge toward Cheltenham Township.
