Danforth shooting casts Greektown in a different light. Video of the 29-year-old shooter in action circulated with word that he killed two and injured 12, before the gunman himself ended up dead. The illuminated welcome sign arched over it:

“Patrisans need to make a choice—do we define ourselves by what we believe in or what we despise?” Andrew Potter’s thinkpiece for the Ottawa Citizen struck enough of a chord with environment minister Catherine McKenna to make her wonder out loud exactly she’s trying to achieve with Twitter.

Friends of Kensington Market deny division over Fairland Funhouse. A story from the Toronto Star suggests a rift over the revelation that a pop-up art maze in a former grocery store foreshadows a giant bar—but the area advocacy group believes all the locals are opposed to the concept of Liquor Donuts. The backers of the permanent venue have agreed to try and concoct a more agreeable plan.
