TORONTO – A Toronto hospital says it has parted ways with an employee who used “racist language” while riding public transit in a standoff caught on camera.
Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre says the worker is no longer employed at the hospital after it conducted an investigation into a video that circulated on social media.
The hospital, home to Canada’s largest trauma centre, says it recognizes the harm the incident has caused especially for the organization’s Black staff, patients and supporters.
Sunnybrook adds the former employee’s behaviour is inconsistent with its values.
The hospital did not say which video prompted the investigation, but footage filmed on a Toronto subway and shared on social media showed a person wearing a Sunnybrook sweater being confronted by other subway riders after they used derogatory language against Black people.
The video concludes with the person, who identifies themselves as a Sunnybrook employee, appearing to knock the camera out of the hands of the rider recording them.

Possibility of Hellebuyck’s return grows each day as pay slips away

CHICAGO — Buckle up, folks. The next plot twist in the ongoing soap opera between the Winnipeg Jets and Connor Hellebuyck could be a doozy.
Let’s start with a few cold, hard facts. Or, if you prefer: “Previously on As the Hellebuyck Turns…”
The franchise goaltender, with five years remaining on a contract extension he willingly signed with Winnipeg in 2023, refused to report to training camp last month as he awaits word on a trade request made at the end of last season. He’s the first NHL player in more than a quarter century to essentially go on strike.
The Jets are under no obligation to move Hellebuyck, but have indicated they would try to accommodate him if another team meets their needs. General manager Kevin Cheveldayoff has made it clear he needs to “get this right” and wants a haul for a three-time Vezina Trophy winner and one-time Hart Trophy recipient.
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I’ve been trying to learn to drive in busy traffic. My boyfriend said he would teach me, but he gets too playfully amorous while I’m trying to drive his new car in busier areas like downtown. He thinks it’s a big joke, but when I yelled that he was distracting me, he said, “Good.”
So I pulled over, slammed on the brakes and got out, thinking he would get back into the driver’s seat and drive us home, but he didn’t budge. He was being a real jerk.
I got back in, drove us to my place in silence, left the keys in the ignition and went inside and locked my door. Now we’re not talking and neither one of us is apologizing. What do you think?
