Suspicious transactions at GTA crypto shops reveal alleged links to Iran-backed terror groups. Is the regulator doing enough to police them?

www.thestar.com Suspicious transactions at GTA crypto shops reveal alleged links to Iran-backed terror groups.... FINTRAC says it rigorously polices the money services sector, has issued more than $200 million in fines, and is monitoring crypto activity.

Might just be my favourite story from this election (which is really saying something because my colleagues have all done such amazing work!!)

October surprise alert: absolute heater of a Brad Bradford profile here from @royinori of @TheLocal_TO. thelocal.to/brad-bradford-…

There were times when Bradford would come back from having an argument at city council or a committee meeting and would perch at the edge of a staffer’s desk in the main office, Tim says, and lead the office in a group discussion about how his opposition was wrong and he was right. Tim and Jessica both say that he was harsher about female councillors, and on occasion, that they heard Bradford use the word “bitch” to describe them.
Jessica says that Bradford “couldn’t talk to certain staff without being really belligerent, yelling or screaming at them.” It wasn’t uncommon, she adds, for staff to cry during or after these encounters. Sometimes, to some people, he would apologize, she says, but his actions did not meaningfully change in the time she worked for him.
