Toronto residents and food retailers: Beware of "the egg guy"

I was about to have eggs for breakfast this morning, but then I saw page 2 of The Toronto Star. In an article by Rob Cribb, The Star names six Toronto food vendors facing charges for allegedly selling ungraded eggs, putting their customers at risk of salmonella poisoning.

Cribb interviewed the manager of one of the establishments, who said she never suspected anything was wrong with the eggs. She is quoted by The Star as saying the supplier drives a white cube van and is known to her only as "the egg guy." Who'd have thunk a supplier matching this description would sell anything but top quality eggs?

I recommend you read The Star article, Egg crackdown raises public health concerns, which is online at this link and is on page 2 of the Saturday Star.

Toronto Star misleads the public about budget meeting protest

The Toronto Star newspaper, as expected, gave a one-sided account of a Toronto budget committee meeting in which a protester threatened an elected official.

The Star chose not to mention the threat, focusing instead on an irreverent remark made by the politician who was threatened.

It just so happens the politician is Councillor Doug Ford, brother of Toronto Mayor Rob Ford, both of whom are reviled by the political left and mainstream media, though not by the majority of Toronto voters.
