Ontario woman ‘yelling and crying for help’ during violent dog attack at condo
Norfolk County resident was dispatching her refuse outside a common area at her condo when she was attacked and bitten several times by a canine that resembled a pit bull on Nov. 1.“I could hear growling and barking in the background but I didn’t realize it was that close until I opened the door to come out of the garbage area,” Bonnett recalls.“It was sitting right in front of me, growling, and I tried to take a step back … but she pounced and got me before I could move.”The 75-year-old says the animal knocked her to the ground and bit her legs, arms and face, forcing her to scream for help.“It seemed to last a long time, but I’m sure it wasn’t all that long,” she said.“No one seemed to hear me because I was yelling and crying for help, but nine in the morning and most people had gone to work.”Bonnet says she has several puncture wounds all over, a large bite on her thigh and tearing on the left side of her face from the initial attack.Subsequent strikes would see a section of her right-side scalp removed.“She didn’t go for the neck, thank goodness,” Bonnett said.“I hear they do that … so I was lucky with that.”Eventually, the dog’s owner, who lives across from her condo, came running out, calling on a neighbour next door for assistance, according to Bonnett.The two somehow got the dog off her.Bonnet returned home on Wednesday night from St.

Ontario NDP removes Sarah Jama from caucus after Israel-Hamas comments
Sarah Jama from caucus.Stiles says the member for Hamilton Centre, who has been under fire for comments about the Israel-Hamas conflict, made what Stiles calls “a number of unilateral actions” that have undermined the party’s collective work and broken the trust of her colleagues.Jama spoke this morning in the legislature against a motion to censure her for a statement she made on the conflict between Israel and Hamas.She said Premier Doug Ford’s government is targeting her to distract from its own scandals, and also said that governments and institutions in Canada are trying to use their voice and weight to silence people who support Palestinians.The Progressive Conservative motion would effectively silence Jama in the legislature and calls on the Speaker not to recognize her in the House until she retracts her original statement and apologizes again.Jama’s original statement, on social media, decried “the generations long occupation of Palestine” without mentioning the attack by Hamas militants on Israeli civilians.Stiles had originally defended Jama after the legislator issued an apology for her initial statement, but now says in a statement that she and Jama had agreed that in order for her to stay in caucus they would work together “in good faith with no surprises” but now some of her actions “have contributed to unsafe work environments for staff.”
