Mexicans made their voices heard by taking to the streets on Sunday in protest of the drug wars that have been affecting their country for years.
 
About 20,000 protesters started marching on Thursday to Zocolo central square in the heart of Mexico City. They held up signs calling for an end to the violence and injustice the wars cause. 

Midway through their opening song, vocalist Menny More of the reggae collective Easy Star All-Stars, interrupted the music: “Don’t be shy. Bring yourselves closer, so we can party rightly.” There was no hesitation at all; the no man’s land between the stage and crowd was instantly filled with revellers itching to groove to the sweet bass work of Ras I Ray.

Upon arriving at the entrance to Divan Orange for the Christine Fellows show, I was amazed to see no one outside smoking. What did this mean? Did it mean the show was so great that it prevented those that love to fill their lungs with smoke and nicotine from indulging? That’s it; it had to be because it was a mesmerizing show.

Charges will not be laid in a case concerning a leak about a 1996 incident involving Jack Layton. In the incident, Toronto police officers raided a suspected bawdy house posing as a massage parlour, and found Layton inside. Layton was not arrested nor charged, claiming that he wasn’t aware that it was a bawdy house.

The leak occurred after a retired officer revealed notebooks containing information about the case to a private detective. The detective was hunting for information on Layton a week before the election.
