A controversial verdict has aroused some discontent for some Quebec citizens. After Guy Turcotte was found not responsible for his crimes, protests sprang up on Facebook.

Turcotte admitted to stabbing his two children to death in February 2009. Earlier this week a jury found he was not criminally responsible for the deaths due to mental illness.

The protests are set for Aug. 6, exactly one month and one day after the verdict was passed.

Turcotte will remain in an institution until he is fit to be released.

A Montreal family will soon be reunited with  their lost dog, a year after she was lost. The Labrador mix named Pollux escaped from owner Isablle Robitaille's home last June. But that the runaway dog was found after so long isn't the most surprising part of this story.

Pollux was found in Kamloops, British Columbia, over 4,500 kilometres away from home. A good Samaritan had turned her into the local SPCA. Officials at the Kamloops SPCA were able to identify the dog  thanks to a microchip in her neck.
