Your morning news roundup for Thursday November 1st, 2007:
Toronto got its smog report card, and scored a rather shameful C+ grade. The Toronto Environmental Alliance, the watchdog group that did the assessment is calling for a TTC fare freeze until 2010, amongst other recommendations.
Last night the kids were out in full candy-collecting force to celebrate Halloween. Dentists likely rejoiced, but one TTC driver, who ended up with glass shards in his eye after a pumpkin was thrown through the windshield of his bus, won't likely be smiling today.
CityNews reminds us that the tally of trouble intersections now equipped with police video cameras is up to 12. We're still waiting to learn if any of the cameras in the entertainment district will help in the investigation into the 40+ bullet shootout that went down the other night.
What do you do when a mansion with heritage status is on land wanted for a high-rise condominium development? You pick it up and move it out of the way!
The Toronto Raptors got off to a great start, beating the Philadelphia 76ers in their season opener.

Stuff like this makes me sick and just downright ashamed to be a part of this planet. To the person this happened to, I hope you are ok, I hope you recover physically and mentally and are able to drive again WITHOUT the ever-present, gnawing fear that a pumpkin or chunk of cement is going to smash through your' windshield.
Not too mention, if you MUST throw a pumpkin or anything through someone's window...pick on some rich f**k, or politician who deserves it...leave the working men and women alone, they're in the same fricken boat as you.
The penalty should be these a-holes pay this guy's bills for the rest of his life.
"Physically healed or not, this poor guy will never be the same...and over what?! And remember folks, this could've been anyone. Think about that."
