TMU and police investigate after swastika shown at Wednesday rally
Toronto Metropolitan University and Toronto police say they’re investigating after a swastika was shown during a protest outside the university this week.
The pro-Palestinian protest Wednesday went on to merge with a larger rally that drew several hundred supporters, who gathered at Yonge-Dundas Square before marching through the downtown core.
Ibrahim Ali’s lawyer says the 13-year-old girl he’s accused of murdering in a British Columbia park wasn’t the “innocent” depicted in a “rose-coloured” portrayal by the Crown at trial.
Kevin McCullough told the B.C. Supreme Court jury in his closing arguments that the version of the girl’s lifestyle presented by the Crown is “at best, a partial picture” or “at worst, a lie.”
He says the Crown’s case rests on the belief it would have been out of character for the teen to have sex with Ali.

Stop telling men to be more like women
It’s been 20 years since anthropologists announced the discovery of a new and exciting species of human, emerging from the mists of the urban jungle. This creature was best observed in its natural habitat of New York City: drinking a Grey Goose martini at a chic watering hole, pausing by a window to smooth his perfectly coifed hair, disappearing around a corner on feet clad in stylish moc-toe boots, leaving behind nothing but an unsettling sense of sexual ambiguity and the lingering scent of Axe body spray. What was he? A man, yes, but not just a man. He was an enigma wrapped in a mystery, equal parts fascination and mockery. Behold: the metrosexual.
On Nov. 21, the student newspaper serving Saint Mary’s College and the University of Notre Dame broke the story that Saint Mary’s, a Catholic women’s college founded in 1844, would now consider admission for applicants “whose sex is female or who consistently live and identify as women.” The college’s proud identity as a single-sex institution, which resisted a merger with brother school Notre Dame when the university went coeducational in 1972, is no longer.

Revenge for what?

An employee at a jewellery shop in Tokyo has been hailed a hero after thwarting an attempted robbery and giving chase after the three suspects fled. But the hero of the hour wasn’t armed with a Taser or pepper spray, but with a weapon invented hundreds of years ago by samurai warriors: the sasumata, a pole with two prongs attached to the end.
