Sabotabby reads the news some more

[sabotabby]

Here are some stories that you should pay attention to:

bcholmes has a post on how the cholera epidemic in Haïti likely started because of UN peacekeepers.

Did the Star seriously just run an article slamming Jenny Peto's master's thesis? Yes they did.

Don Cherry is a douche. This isn't news, I just thought I should mention it. Also, that suit is fucking horrible.

Ontario's ombudsman reports that McGuinty's secret law but not really a law was illegal. Rumour has it he will next investigate the preferred defecation grounds of bears.

You might not have seen this in the news back in May, but there is currently a Charter of Rights and Freedoms challenge around homelessness and inadequate housing. You can find more information here and here.

Well, I haven't read her thesis or anything. It's just that theses aren't generally front-page news.

Most theses aren't trolling. Also, it's Canada; everything has a place on the front page, we don't discriminate.

No no no, it's Canada, anything that happens in Toronto has a place on the front page of the paper.

You say it like it's a bad thing, but our friend Sabo is not all that keen on prairie news herself.

Nor have I read it, and it sounds (third-hand) somewhat problematic but...

Wow, I wish *my* thesis could make headlines! :P
