Here’s a special subscriber’s preview of what’s on the menu today:

• It’s been 18 days since a baby – we don’t know its name – allegedly abducted by its father – was shot to death on a rural road in the Kawartha Lakes. Police were right there when it happened. Their actions in relation to the death are under review. Why don’t we know who killed the baby? The police? The father? How can we trust police when every investigation into their conduct is shrouded in layers of obfuscation and secrecy?

• The House of Commons passed amendments to Canada’s assisted suicide laws – but one group was noticeably left out of the law. Who and why were they ignored? And, why did one Toronto MP vote against the changes as a result?

• In April 2018, Alek Minassian rented a van and carried out a pre-planned mass execution of women and men on the streets of Toronto. He confessed to the crime in a police interview that has been made public. Now, his lawyers are arguing he’s not guilty – because he didn’t feel bad for the victims? Is it conceivable this monster might get off?

• Who’s getting vaccinated on Tuesday in Toronto? How many will die by Christmas? Which medical officer of health is not like the others? What Did We Learn About the COVID-19 Pandemic This Week?

• ANSWERS to all these questions plus A ROUNDUP OF SPORTS, the WEEK IN REVIEW and STUPID OF THE WEEK before 4pm.
