Following a TV station's release of an altercation during the NBA finals last June, Toronto Raptors president Masai Ujiri has filed a counter-suit. The Raptors say the video proves Ujiri wasn't the aggressor in a dispute with a sheriff's deputy after the team won the NBA title at Oracle Arena. Deputy Alan Strickland filed a $75,000 suit against Ujiri, the Raptors, Raptors owner Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment and the NBA claiming he suffered physical, mental, emotional and economic injuries. Raptors coach Nick Nurse says the video is self-explanatory.

Thousands of pages of newly released documents back up the Trudeau government's contention that it was federal public servants who recommended a student service grant program be administered by WE Charity.They also suggest bureaucrats may have been nudged to look in that direction by their political masters. The five-thousand-plus pages of government documents were tabled with the finance committee almost two weeks ago.They had not been released to committee members because legal counsel was still vetting them to ensure there were no breaches of cabinet confidences or personal privacy.The doc
