AT A GLANCE

 

Torontonians, Beware! The Arrival of Spring Also Marks a High Season for Scammers.

The Toronto Police Service (TPS) is warning city residents to be cautious about a suspected roofing fraud and impersonation scam that is active across the city.

April 14, 2026: In a news release today, the police advise that this scam involves unsolicited contractors who claim to identify urgent issues with roofs, chimneys, or other exterior structures. Homeowners are then pressured into agreeing to repairs on the spot.

According to police, once the deal is locked in and work begins, the scammers inform the homeowner that they have discovered additional problems with the property that require immediate attention. This additional work, of course, requires more money.

Victims are then "pressured into making multiple payments" for the work.

Gas and Diesel Prices To Come Down on Monday.
On Monday, April 13, 2026, Prime Minister Mark Carney celebrated a significant victory as his party swept all three by-elections held in Ontario (two seats) and Quebec (one seat), securing a clear majority in the House with 174 seats. Perhaps inspired by the trust Canadians reposed in his party, Carney announced today, on April 14, that he is calling for a temporary suspension of the federal excise tax on consumer and aviation fuels from April 20 to Labor Day, September 7, 2026.

Breaking News! North Ajax Resident Dies in Targeted Attack!

 

Reporter Insights:

 

Salaam.  

This happened on the morning of April 14. A man in his 20s, later identified as Thisal (Sam) Sanjula Perera, was reportedly discovered on the driveway of his home in an unconscious state. According to the police who arrived at the scene soon after it was reported by a passerby, Sanjula's injuries bore signs of a physical assault. He was rushed to the hospital but was found deceased on arrival. The incident, initially reported as a break-in, is now being investigated as a homicide resulting from a targeted attack, specific to the victim. Two suspects were seen fleeing the area before they could be apprehended. The investigation is ongoing.

Please watch the video report that I have put together for you, and if you live in the area (mentioned in my video), or were passing through it early this morning, and have dashcam footage that you suspect could have captured the two suspects, please reach out to Ajax police immediately.

On behalf of GTA Muslims Today, my sincere condolences to Sanjula's family. May his soul rest in peace
