Toronto has been making headlines recently due to a variety of incidents, including a Chinese restaurant offering a 'Kendrick Lamar special' amid the rapper's feud with Drake, a statement by the Chief of the Peel Regional Police hinting at a potential Netflix-worthy story, and a surge in vehicle thefts linked to organised crime gangs exploiting keyless technology. Additionally, former fashion mogul Peter Nygard is on trial for alleged sexual assaults at his Toronto headquarters, while a British soldier has been charged with second-degree murder for an incident in a Toronto bar.
