Consumer News and Links for Dec. 27th
From the Non-Violent, eh? department
-So much for my peaceful neighbors to the north. Yesterday, Canada celebrated Boxing Day, the biggest shopping day of the year in Canada, when gunfire began at a shopping center in Toronto. Seven people were shot on Yonge Street amidst the holiday bustle. One teenage girl is dead. No specifics in the article as to what the shooting was over though it seems the injured people were innocent bystanders and shoppers. (CBC News)
From the Slow News Day department
-Wow, it must be boring in Palm Springs…wait… I visited a friend there once… it is boring in Palm Springs. The Desert Sun reports that teens turn to caffeine for their legal buzz. Wait… so you mean to tell me, that kids like ingesting coffee and carbonated soft drinks in Palm Springs?!? What the? Alert the media! Oh wait, someone did…and the Desert Sun made a story out of it. Back when I was a teen, you know where we turned for our buzz? To our parents’ liquor cabinets. (The Desert Sun)
