2 METIS WIN BIG COURT RULING Read all about it.
3 BELOVED TORONTO MAYOR ROB FORD ACCUSED OF ASS-GRABBERY Story here, denial here, story here again. He may well be innocent but it’s damning how plausible this seems. And wow, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a politician who looks worse in photos than Rob Ford.

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY! Here’s a video Friend O’ The ‘Dog (and reigning Regina’s Best Hipster) Eric Hill posted on Facebook.
