About this listen
Description
On April 23, 2018, a bright spring afternoon in Toronto turned to horror. A white rental van mounted the sidewalk on Yonge Street, killing 11 innocent people and injuring 15 more in just 25 minutes.
This episode of Northern Dark: True Canadian Crime recounts the chilling minute-by-minute details of the Yonge Street van attack, explores the background of Alek Minassian, and examines the hateful ideology that motivated him.
We follow the investigation and trial, the families’ long wait for justice, and the legacy of Constable Ken Lam, who ended the rampage without firing a single shot. Finally, Mark and Leah reflect on what this case reveals about online radicalization, extremism, and resilience in the face of hate.
