Apocalyptic Fears
Fringe religious groups continue to predict the end of the world within the next few months.

Good Samaritans
Several major religious groups are focusing on helping the homeless population of Toronto. The Catholic Church has opened several of its buildings as shelters, while the Anglican Church is collecting old clothes, blankets, and foodstuffs. Synagogues have been collecting monetary donations, and those of the Muslim faith are building an orphanage, as well as a shelter for the aged. All four denominations have separately gone on record as saying that their approach is the best way to deal with the current situation.

Chronic Shock Syndrome
Hospitals report no new cases of Chronic Shock Syndrome, a mysterious affliction that causes sudden and extreme trauma shock for no apparent reason. Some individuals have suffered repeated episodes. However, in spite of the lack of new cases, hospitals continue to turn away new patients due to a lack of available beds.

Wheelright-Rook Exhibit Moves
The exhibit of Alixander Wheelright-Rook has moved from Paris to London, England, where it is currently on display.

Nakatomi No More
All assets of the Nakatomi corporation have been distributed, and the corporation has been dissolved.

Chemco Criminal
Jarred Allen, the man charged with the murder of two Chemco Inc. employees and their families, has been arraigned and trail date has been set. However, there is rampant speculation in the press that he will be easily convicted.

Cop Crackdown
The police crackdown on crooked cops continues. Seven more have been arrested.

Drug Busts
Police have made several more drug busts at public schools in the last few weeks.

Truck Hijackings
Two more trucks have been hijacked in Etobicoke. One contained construction supplies, and the other foodstuffs.

Underworld Violence
Violence continues in the underworld.

Bank Hackers
The Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce has recovered from damages caused by computer hackers. However, Canada Trust reports that their computer system inadvertently paid the outstanding balances of all its Master Card holders.

Paranormal Studies
The University of Toronto will be holding the first class of its new Paranormal Studies program next week.

Defender Honoured
The Tremere are holding ceremonies honouring William Jacobson, one of their clanmates who fell while defending Toronto two weeks ago. The Clan has expressed displeasure that no resident of Toronto elected to join them in their defense of the city from anarch forces.
