Toronto police raided one of the holdout locations of Toronto dispensary chain CAFE. The Ford government recently closed a legal loophole preventing dispensary raids on locations in which people lived, and police evicted one angry man who tried to push his way through police, who claimed he had nothing to do with the dispensary but was just a tenant getting cheap rent.
