⛈️⚠️ WEATHER ALERT: VERY STRONG STORMS EXPECTED IN TORONTO TODAY Toronto and the GTA could be hit by a round of very strong thunderstorms this afternoon and evening, with the most intense weather expected roughly between 3:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. 🌪️ Tornadic activity is also possible, according to CP24 meteorologist Bill Coulter. 🌧️ Heavy downpours and strong thunderstorms are expected as a cold front moves across southern Ontario. 🥵 Before the storms arrive, Toronto could reach 28°C, feeling closer to 36°C with the humidity. 🏙️ Mayor Olivia Chow says Toronto has activated its Emergency Operations Centre ahead of the expected severe weather, with transportation, TTC, shelter and emergency services coordinating preparations. ⚠️ With the worst weather potentially coinciding with the afternoon commute, Toronto Scoop readers should keep an eye on weather alerts and allow extra travel time. Conditions are expected to improve Thursday, with sunny weather forecast for Friday through Sunday.

🚨 $2M+ IN CANADIAN GOV’T CONTRACTS — DESPITE IRAN SECURITY FLAGS A major new investigation is raising serious questions about Canada’s national-security and government procurement systems. Mohammad Reza “Sal” Ghafouri — the son of a former Iranian vice-president — runs companies that received more than $2 MILLION in Canadian government contracts, including from the Department of National Defence and RCMP. But a declassified CSIS report alleges that before coming to Canada, Ghafouri was involved in Iranian military technology and procurement, including work connected to an anti-aircraft missile system. CSIS also alleges that after moving to Canada, he met with members of Iran’s intelligence ministry. ⚠️ Canadian authorities reportedly raised national-security concerns about Ghafouri years ago — yet government contracts continued, including a DND arrangement awarded in late 2023. In May, immigration officials reportedly began proceedings to block him from obtaining Canadian citizenship on the grounds that he poses a “threat to the security of Canada.” Ghafouri disputes the allegations, which have not been proven in court, and he has not been criminally charged over them. How did someone under national-security scrutiny continue receiving Canadian government contracts?

At last night’s Shuvu parlour meeting at the home of Rav Dovid Pam, shlit”a, with the participation of Rav Elya Brudny, shlit”a, Rosh Yeshivas Mir Brooklyn. It was inspiring to witness Rav Brudny’s mesiras nefesh to attend despite yesterday’s severe storm. After his scheduled flight to Toronto was cancelled, the Rosh Yeshiva instead flew to Buffalo and was driven the rest of the way to Toronto. Following the parlour meeting, at approximately 10:30 p.m., he was driven back to Buffalo to catch a flight home to New York. A remarkable display of dedication to Shuvu and its mission.

🇺🇸🚨 REPUBLICANS BAR CBC FROM MAJOR U.S. CONVENTION The fallout from CBC’s controversial 9/11 policy is growing. The Republican National Committee has revoked CBC/Radio-Canada’s previously approved press credentials for its Sept. 9–10 convention in Dallas — citing CBC’s longstanding policy against referring to the 9/11 attacks as “terrorism” without attribution. CBC reversed the policy last week following widespread backlash, but that apparently wasn’t enough for the RNC, which reportedly called allowing CBC to attend an “insult” to the victims of 9/11. CBC says it is disappointed and hopes the decision will be reconsidered. 😂

⚖️ ONE EXTRA DAY IN JAIL FOR ANTISEMITIC THREAT A Toronto woman convicted of threatening to cut off a Jewish Crown attorney’s “big Jewish nose” inside a downtown courthouse has been sentenced to just one additional day in jail — despite the Crown seeking six months. Keiosha Ross, 42, also received 18 months’ probation. The judge called the threat “unquestionably antisemitic,” but found that Ross is “profoundly unwell” and that her mental illness significantly reduced her moral responsibility. The judge acknowledged the sentence could appear to minimize antisemitism, but insisted it “should not be mistaken as softness on hate crimes.” Ross had already received credit for 12 days spent in custody. She is currently back behind bars over separate allegations stemming from bizarre conduct during her sentencing hearing.

🇺🇸✡️ INSIDE TODAY’S HISTORIC WHITE HOUSE MEETING WITH LEADING RABBONIM New details are emerging from today’s extraordinary meeting between prominent Rabbonim and senior White House officials — including a private meeting with President Donald Trump. 🎙️ Yossi Gestetner, who attended the meeting, shared several fascinating behind-the-scenes details with Kol Mevaser immediately afterward: 🔹 The two Satmar Rebbes warmly greeted one another and exchanged brachos upon arriving. Reb Ahron also wished his brother Reb Zalmen Leib Mazel Tov on a grandchild’s engagement finalized the night before. 🔹 Vice President JD Vance joined midway, personally greeting those around the table and praising the Jewish community’s emphasis on family and education. 🔹 Vance also asked about the different-colored bekitches worn by the Rebbes. 🔹 In another lighter moment, President Trump reportedly looked at the two Satmar Rebbes and asked if they were twins. They responded that they were brothers. 🔹 A major topic raised was the treatment and conditions of Jewish prisoners in federal and state prisons across the country. 🔹 Satmar Rebbe Reb Ahron later met privately with President Trump for roughly 10 minutes, together with Jared Kushner, before the other Rabbonim were brought into the Oval Office. 🔹 In the Oval Office, Reb Ahron gave President Trump a bracha, which Rabbi Segedin translated for the president. Congressman Mike Lawler and Jared Kushner were also among those present. An extraordinary glimpse behind the scenes of a historic gathering at the White House.

✨ A POWERFUL AND EMOTIONAL MOMENT A WEEK BEFORE ROSH HASHANAH ✨ A deeply moving moment took place last night at The Israeli Centre, during a special pre-Rosh Hashanah gathering with Rabbi Moshe Kanner, shlita, who shared words of inspiration and chizuk with those in attendance. During the evening, Shmuel made a remarkable commitment: to put on tefillin every single day for the rest of his life. To mark the occasion, he was presented with a beautiful new pair of tefillin — an emotional moment that brought tears to the eyes of those present. With Rosh Hashanah just a week away, there could hardly have been a more powerful sight than witnessing a fellow Jew take upon himself a mitzvah that will accompany him for the rest of his life. ❤️

🚨✡️ CHOW OPTS To SKIP ANTISEMITISM DEBATE — WHAT MESSAGE DOES THAT SEND TORONTO’S JEWISH COMMUNITY? Mayor Olivia Chow has opted out of a major mayoral debate focused specifically on antisemitism, hate and public safety — and her explanation is raising eyebrows. The Sept. 8 debate, organized by Jewish Lawyers of Canada, has been in the works for weeks. The organization says it had been communicating with Chow’s team since Aug. 7 — and that her campaign never raised a scheduling problem connected to her campaign launch. Now, Chow’s team says she won’t attend because her official re-election campaign launches on Sept. 9 — literally one day later. Meanwhile, her opponents Brad Bradford and Chris Alexander are showing up. And when the Toronto Star asked whether the involvement of moderator Jesse Brown — a vocal critic of Chow’s record on antisemitism — played a role in her decision, her spokesperson reportedly did not answer the question. Brown says he would have stepped aside if that was preventing her participation. At some point, Toronto’s Jewish community is entitled to ask a very simple question: Does our community actually matter to Mayor Chow? With Toronto’s Jewish community facing an extraordinary level of antisemitism, the mayor was given an opportunity to stand before Jewish Torontonians, defend her record, answer difficult questions and explain what she intends to do. She chose not to show up. Whatever explanation City Hall offers, the message many Jewish Torontonians will hear is painfully clear: Our concerns simply aren’t important enough to warrant showing up. That should concern every Jewish voter in Toronto.

🌡️❄️ CANADA’S WINTER MAY ‘TAKE A HOLIDAY’ AS MONSTER EL NIÑO BUILDS A potentially record-breaking, “supercharged” El Niño is developing, and longtime Environment Canada climatologist David Phillips says Canadians could be in for a much milder winter dominated by Pacific air rather than bitter Arctic blasts. Phillips predicts a generally “soft, open and tame” winter, with less snow in many areas — potentially good news for heating bills, but not so great for skiers and snow lovers. The UN’s World Meteorological Organization says El Niño is now nearly certain to persist through February and could become one of the strongest ever recorded. And there may be a longer-term consequence: scientists say the enormous amount of heat associated with this El Niño could help make 2027 the hottest year ever recorded globally.

🚨 ARREST IN MP SALMA ZAHID ARSON LEAVES MOHAMAD FAKIH’S ‘PRO-ISRAEL’ INSINUATION LOOKING RECKLESSLY WRONG When vehicles outside Liberal MP Salma Zahid’s Scarborough home were torched last month, pro-Palestinian activist Mohamad Fakih quickly pointed toward pro-Israel advocacy groups. “Regardless of who committed this attack,” Fakih wrote, “we cannot ignore the climate of hostility” surrounding Zahid. He specifically accused pro-Israel groups of publicly attacking and amplifying “damaging narratives” about Zahid and others who speak against Israel, before declaring: “Hate fuels these consequences.” Now Toronto Police have arrested 24-year-old Roshvin Crofton, who faces five charges in connection with the August 27 arson, while investigators continue searching for a second suspect. Crofton has no publicly reported connection to the Jewish community, Israel advocacy or any pro-Israel organization. An individual bearing the same name and matching Crofton’s age has previously faced serious criminal charges involving stolen vehicles and, separately, an alleged armed robbery and shooting. Those cases have not been definitively confirmed to involve the same Roshvin Crofton, and should therefore not be presented as established history. But based on everything publicly known today, the arrest makes Fakih’s rush to inject Israel into the story look extraordinarily reckless — and increasingly far-fetched.

🇺🇸🇨🇦 TRUMP: ‘NO MORE SELLING BOMBARDIER IN THE UNITED STATES!’ President Trump is escalating his trade battle with Canada, declaring that Bombardier — the Montreal-based Canadian aerospace giant best known today for its private and business jets — should no longer be allowed to sell its planes in the U.S. unless it manufactures them there. Trump accused Canada of treating America like a “piggybank,” complaining that Canada blocks American banks and companies from its market, while Bombardier relies heavily on American business. He also cited Canada’s treatment of U.S. aircraft maker Gulfstream. “If they want our Market, they must build here,” Trump wrote, ending: “BUY AMERICAN… SAIL ON LAKE AMERICA. AMERICA FIRST!” ⚠️ Despite the statement from President Trump, no official/legal Bombardier ban has been implemented as of yet. SCOOP2CENTS: This is really getting tiresome.

🚨 “LOCK UP ALL ZIONISTS”: ONTARIO COUNCIL CANDIDATE’S SHOCKING CALL This isn’t some anonymous protester shouting from the sidelines. She’s running for public office in Ontario. Rasha Zaid, a candidate for Windsor City Council, was caught on video declaring: “Every person that announces they are a Zionist must be locked up! They are terrorists.” She then adds: “We are not free until they’re not among us.” Zaid later told the Jerusalem Post that she was referring to those who support alleged Israeli war crimes — not people www simply identify as Zionists. There’s just one rather glaring problem with that explanation: She said “EVERY PERSON that announces they are a Zionist.” Whatever one’s views on Israel or the war, a candidate for elected office calling for an entire category of people to be “locked up” should be deeply disturbing. Today, Zionist can mean a multiplicity of things, and antisemites don't care about nuance. They'll just as soon use such statements as justification for attacking Chassidim as well as completely assimilated Jews. And this person is currently asking Ontario voters to entrust her with public office.
