TUMBLER RIDGE (British Columbia) – The small community of Tumbler Ridge in British Columbia is still in a state of profound shock after the massacre that shook the town of just 2,400 residents on a quiet Tuesday afternoon. New details that have emerged in the past few hours make it even harder for the victims’ families to bear the weight of what happened. According to information provided by the RCMP, the tragic outcome—nine dead and twenty-seven injured—could be seen, in some respects, as a kind of “foretold tragedy.” Here’s why.
TUMBLER RIDGE (British Columbia) – First shots fired at home, then at school. 9 dead and 27 injured. A massacre that shook the peace of the small community of Tumbler Ridge, over a thousand kilometers north of Vancouver, in British Columbia.

TORONTO – So what is this new Line 5 subway really like, after being awaited by Torontonians for a full fifteen years? We tried it out right away, both on Sunday — the day of the official opening: read our article here — and on Monday, today, to test it under regular weekday conditions. And we did so not only as journalists, but also as commuters, since yours truly – the author of this piece – has been travelling along roughly the same route every day for almost three years to get to the Corriere Canadese newsroom. What follows, then, is our account of two trips on the “Eglinton Crosstown LRT”, better known as Line 5, “Eglinton,” or more simply as “the orange line.”
TORONTO – As of today, the long-awaited “Eglinton Crosstown West Extension,” or Line 5 of the subway, is operational.
