The Toronto Sun puts you right in the thick of everything.

We have you covered for everything from local news to national and provincial politics to the realms of sports and celebrities.

Stories have the power to ignite the world. And these are the top stories that Sun readers like you have clicked on during the last seven days.

“Entitled BMW driver” under fire for making an unlawful turn to evade traffic on Highway 401
A “entitled” BMW driver received harsh criticism on the internet for believing they are above the law.

They exited the congested Hwy. 401 close to Dixie Rd. in Mississauga, crossed a grassy field in the manner of an ATV, and then unlawfully entered an adjoining road. Jane Stevenson provided specifics.

We’re not sure which is worse: the driver’s belief that they can break the law and do whatever they want, or the fact that they were not caught and will probably continue to conduct similar actions until they are.

SIMMONS: Mark Shapiro can only try to shelter himself in impending Jays front-office shuffle

 

The Blue Jays’ terrible record so far this season is exactly why Mark Shapiro might be sending GM Ross Atkins packing – but it won’t be branded a firing.

However, Brian Lilley writes that’s far from the truth.

Union chair Colleen MacLeod wants the public to believe that without her union members selling you booze, health care and education in Ontario will suffer.

 

But if one compares Ontario to other provinces, they would see that is false.

LEAFS NOTES: Kyle Dubas delves into his ‘biggest mistake’ in new book and, no, it wasn’t the Tavares signing

Article content

The pursuit of John Tavares by the Toronto Maple Leafs and then-GM Kyle Dubas is covered in a new book, not to mention how playoff success eluded him.

 

Much of that is tied to contract difficulty with the NHL’s salary cap after he outbid many teams for Tavares – but Dubas has no regrets in the deal that continues to plague his replacement Brad Treliving, Lance Hornby reported.

 

He does, however, lament that he did more for the contracts of William Nylander, Mitch Marner and Auston Matthews.
