How it works: Scammers try to convince you your computer/smartphone is compromised. They tell you the only fix will cost big $$. Once they have you hooked, they control your device, possibly able to see financial, personal and medical records. cbc.ca/1.5298336 2/5

When you think of the Raps, you probably think of Drake on the sidelines, as the team’s biggest fan.
The thing is, he’s not.
In Toronto, we love @Drake. But there’s someone else who symbolizes everything great about Toronto and Canada.
