This morning — following two investigations into Toronto mayoral candidate Brad Bradford's use of an app that rewards supporters for posting AI-generated comments and sharing contacts — Bradford called our reporting "inaccurate." We're now releasing the recording that proves our reporting.

Bradford calls CNO reporting of AI app rewards ‘inaccurate.’ Here’s the recording proving our reporting.
Canada’s National Observer has decided to publish the segment of the Zoom call that corroborates its reporting.

Meanwhile, according to the misidentified innocent woman's mother, she's been "devastated" by the situation. The woman is now afraid to go outside. Well fucking done, everyone. Source: factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com....
AFP Fact Check excerpt reads: Krista Strang told AFP that her daughter was 25 years old, seven years older than the age for Van Rootselaar shared by the RCMP. She said Zylii Strang was "devastated" by the situation and afraid to go outside after being misidentified. 
"I don't understand how (her profile) was linked to this crime other than my child being transgender and having (the) last name Strang," Krista Strang said in a direct message to AFP on February 11, 2026.
Early reports from some outlets identified the suspect as "Jesse Strang," appearing to use her mother's last name, rather than the identification made by the RCMP with the name Van Rootselaar (archived here).
At least one Canadian influencer with hundreds of thousands of followers on X acknowledged he deleted a February 10 post sharing Zylii Strang's photo after he was made aware of the error.
Some posts misidentifying Zylii Strang include the image of an apparently separate, younger individual, but AFP was not able to verify if this person was affiliated with the shooting at the time of publication. The RCMP has not released any official photos of the suspect and declined to respond to requests to confirm the identities of any of the  photos circulating on social media.
AFP has debunked numerous misidentifications related to shooting suspects in the past. Transgender people, no matter the identity of the shooter, are often falsely implicated.

Um…bit bold to call the story I broke on Tuesday a “Star analysis” with zero credit to me! This is such a bummer. I worked really hard on this one.
A list of Canadian companies profiting off of
ICE and Trump's violent mass deportation regime
Several Canadian companies appear to be pocketing profits as this horrific agenda rolls out.
RACHEL GILMOREThomson Reuters
What? Headquartered in Toronto, the technology and media giant has three active contracts with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. One, awarded in 2021, covers a "law enforcement investigative
database subscription. Another, awarded in 2023, is for "risk mitigation services." A third, awarded in 2025, is for a "maritime analysis tool" and "subject matter expert support services to the support the homeland security investigations, operation national initiative for illicit trade enforcement program."
How much? The 2021 contract is worth
US$22.8 million. The 2023 contract has seen Thomson Reuters awarded US$2.7 million to date, and has a potential award amount of US$4.6 million. The 2025 contract has so far garnered the media giant US$1.8 million, with a potential award amount of $3.6 million.
Together, the three contracts are worth a potential US$31 million.
