(Ont-UofT-Encampment)
Pro-Palestinian protesters who have been on the University of Toronto campus for three weeks are due to meet with the school's administration today.
The planned meeting comes after U of T issued a trespass notice to the students on Friday, and gave them a deadline of tomorrow to clear the area.
Organizers called on the university to cut its ties with Israel, divest from companies profiting from Israel's offensive in Gaza, and terminate partnerships with the country's academic institutions deemed complicit in the war.
The school made an offer to protesters on Thursday that included setting up advisory committees on the issues.

(Matachewan-Land-Claim)
Ontario's government is paying 590-thousand-dollars and handing over more than 20 square kilometres to Matachewan (Ma-TACH'-ew-AN') First Nation.
The province says it's part of a land claim settlement.
It says Treaty 9, also known as the James Bay Treaty, provided First Nations with nearly 260 hectares of land per family of five, or just over 50 hectares per member.
The Matachewan First Nation did not receive all the land it was entitled to.

(Ont-Jewish-School-Shooting)
Premier Doug Ford is calling an early morning shooting at a Jewish elementary school in Toronto yesterday a gross display of antisemitism.
Police say nobody was injured.
The incident happened just before 5 a-m, and officials say two suspects fired shots from inside a dark-coloured vehicle and damaged the building.
Police also say it's too early to draw conclusions as to whether the shooting was hate-motivated.

(Theatre-Shootings)
York police say a movie theatre in Richmond Hill was shot at on Friday for the third time this month.
They are appealing for witnesses.
A video surveillance from 2:30 a-m Friday shows a suspect in a dark S-U--V firing multiple shots toward the entrance of the theatre before fleeing.
A spate of cinema shootings across the Greater Toronto Area earlier this year pushed theatre operator Cineplex Corporate to cancel screenings of a South Indian film.

(Ont-QP-Language)
Decades ago, Sol Mamakwa (MAH'-mah-kwah) was punished in a residential school for speaking his own language.
But on Tuesday, the only First Nation legislator at Queen's Park will rise in the House in Oji-Cree.
This will be the first time in its history that the Ontario legislature will allow, interpret and transcribe a language other than English and French.
Mamakwa, a New Democrat, has convinced Progressive Conservative Government House Leader Paul Calandra to make the changes both now and for any future Indigenous provincial parliamentarian.
