SlutWalk made its way to Montreal on Sunday. Around 300  people started marching from Peace Park on St. Laurent  Street.

 Their goal was to take back the word slut, and allow women  to look and feel sexy without being sexualized.

 Organizers believe that women should never be blamed for  rape committed against them, regardless of how they dress  or act. 

SlutWalk originated in Toronto in January, when an officer told a group of students that they can avoid being raped if they did not dress like sluts. SlutWalk marches have already been held in the United States and England.

Yesterday at a news conference held to announce the members of Layton’s shadow cabinet, it did. His ambiguity towards the topic has irked some politicians. PQ Leader Pauline Marois accused Layton of turning back on promises. Specifically, the Sherbrooke declaration that states 50 per cent plus one is enough to secede.

The announcement of Google’s new digital wallet system has prompted PayPal to file a lawsuit. PayPal is accusing Google of stealing its idea of goods being purchased with the use of a smartphone.
