Rumours from Toronto for Late November 1997

Suit Dropped. Gillian Smythe lawyer for Isabel Kleo, Shamus Munroe and Ibrahim Halsten announced today that her clients would no longer be pursuing their claim against the estate of Richard Wyler, former CEO of Nakatomi Industries. The court has left the assets of both companies frozen in anticipation of more suits.

Opening Night flop. Arkady Fontaine opened in Ottawa to a half empty house. Producers are very confused as the show was reportedly sold out. He performed to packed houses for his remaining shows.

Boom! It appears that the Anarch known as Chuck has been quite busy. He has been blamed for a bombing in San Francisco early Wednesday evening, one in Toronto Friday evening and one in San Francisco early yesterday morning. A small industrial plant by the lakeshore in Scarborough was Friday's target.

Stolen! Joseph Laclos' prize sculpture scheduled to have been unveiled last Sunday evening has been stolen. The theft was not noticed until the sculpture was scheduled to be unveiled. Mr. Laclos is rumoured to have lost his temper and stormed out of the Art Gallery of Ontario after smashing a display case.

Casino Opens. Police are concerned that Toronto's new casino will become a haven for mob activity. They are looking at the possibility of creating a new task force to monitor the industry.

Privatization Continues. The Provincial government still is waiting to receive a copy of United Health Services corporate structure papers. They have announced that if they do not receive them in the next 48 hours, the contract for blood collection will be awarded elsewhere.

Archbishop of Toronto Dead. DuJean of Clan Tzimisce is dead. An elite Sabbat assassin reportedly killed him in New York State early this week. Rumour has it that he has not been in favour with his sect since he left the City of Toronto.

No Results Yet! The Nosferatu Archon that is investigating the activities of the Anarch known as Chuck has been unable to locate any real information. It is believed that he may be asked to leave the investigation by a Ventrue representative who is not impressed with his investigative abilities.

Arrest! Two men have been apprehended in connection with the robbery at the Art Gallery of Ontario. Police have not commented on what, if any, evidence they have obtained.

ROM exhibit missing. An exhibit bound for the Royal Ontario Museum went missing at Toronto Harbour early this week. The artifacts were from a dig that occurred in Turkey in April of this past year. Museum curators are confident that the exhibit will show up.

Second Assault. Jason Takhani of Nakatomi Enterprises was attacked on the street in North York last week. He spent two nights in North York General with bad injuries that resulted from the attack. Nakatomi has informed the Union that they will be appointing someone else to negotiate on their behalf.

Multicultural Format. Q107 has announced that they will be proceeding with a format change to multicultural programming starting in the New Year. It is rumoured that they are doing so in hopes of regain some of their lost advertising.

Bargaining In Bad Faith. Many local unions have withdrawn support from the striking labourers at Nakatomi enterprises as a result of bad bargaining practices on the union side.

Copyright Infringement. Alias Computers has filed a class action suit against its former affiliate, Nakatomi enterprises. Alias Computers claims that Nakatomi has been continuing to sell software produced in tandem with Alias despite a contract giving Alias full rights to the program.

Daddy's Unimpressed. Vanavir Thomas, Prince of San Francisco was quoted earlier this week as saying that his childe, Dr. Madison, was nothing but a flake and couldn't be trusted to run a pizza stand let alone a city.

Crime Boss Busted. RCMP officers arrested Alfredo Corleone at his family home last night. He is expected to appear in a Federal court later this week to face charges. The press have hinted that the government has a star witness that they are protecting.
