Funeral held for family killed in attack in London, Ontario

Thousands gathered across Canada this week to celebrate the lives of a muslim family who became victims of what police are calling a hate crime.

A 20-year-old London, Ontario man allegedly drove his truck at a high speed and veered onto the sidewalk where the family were walking.

Police arrested the suspect about five minutes later in a strip mall parking lot about 7 kilometers away.

Police believe this was a premeditated, racially motivated attack.

The only survivor of the attack was the couple’s 9-year old son who remains in the hospital in critical condition. 

 

Health Canada won't be releasing Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 vaccine over quality control issues

Health Canada said it “won't be releasing” 310, 000 Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 vaccines that arrived in April.

In a statement released on Friday, Health Canada said they completed a quality review, and they have decided not to distribute the doses.

Their decision was based on, quote, “protecting the health and safety of Canadians” over concerns of the Baltimore facility where the vaccines were produced.

Regulators believe the vaccines may not be up to manufacturing standards, and that they have become contaminated.
