Toronto Pearson: Police investigating after officer involved in shooting at airport, highway to Terminal 1 closed

April 24, 2025
Police are investigating after an officer was involved in a shooting at Toronto Pearson Airport on Thursday morning. The incident occurred at Terminal 1 of the airport, according to Peel Regional Police. They confirmed in a post on X that an adult male was shot and the police officer is uninjured. “This is an isolated incident and there are no known threats to public safety,” the post said. “Expect delays at the Terminal.” Passengers and vehicles “ are being rerouted to enter and exit through T1 arrivals,” the airport’s X account said in a post at 8:30 a.m. ET. In an emailed statement to National Post, Special Investigations Unit (SIU) spokesperson Kristy Denette confirmed there “has been a police-involved shooting.” “SIU investigators are being dispatched,” said Denette. Just after 7:30 a.m. ET, Ontario Provincial Police posted on X to say that roads were closed on “Highway 409 to Terminal 1 Departures” in Mississauga. “Please avoid the area,” the post said. Photos and videos on social media of the surrounding areas showed cars lined up and a heavy police presence. In one video, police vehicles can be seen with sirens blocking off travellers from entering the area. A photo posted on X by a user named John Fowler shows cars traffic at the terminal.

The province committed $66-million for 600 units in Vancouver in 2017, which became part of $291-million for the whole province. By 2021, 1,900 temporary apartments were sent to 22 communities.

In a way, Donald Trump has taught us a valuable lesson. His assault on American democracy has shown how fragile and precious democratic institutions are. His contempt for our system of alliances has shown us how vulnerable we would be if that shield were to fall away. His decision to use tariffs as a club reveals how much we rely on international trade and commerce for our prosperity. All three of those pillars – democracy, alliances, trade – were already under threat. After advancing in many parts of the world in the latter part of the 20th century, democracy has been in retreat in the...
