Man killed in Vaughan home invasion remembered as a ‘hero’

September 3, 2025

The brother of a man who was fatally shot in his Vaughan, Ont., home during a home invasion described him as “a hero who died defending his family,” as he and the city’s mayor called for changes to Canada’s criminal justice system.

Police said Wednesday that Abdul Aleem Farooqi, 46, died from gunshot wounds after at least three male suspects broke into his home around 1 a.m. on Aug. 31.

It’s a scary time. The air is full of angry words. Hate crimes are on the rise. Now, many would say, is the time to bring in tougher laws against hate speech. The government certainly thinks so. New federal legislation would criminalize the display of certain hate symbols and make it easier to lay charges for spreading hate propaganda.
