White House deciding whether to show photos of Bin Laden's body

The White House is considering whether it should release photos of Osama bin Laden’s body. CIA director Leon Panetta said Tuesday he thinks a photo will be revealed eventually. The final decision, however, rests with the White House.

According to a senior U.S. official, the White House received three sets of photographs showing bin Laden’s body. An image currently circulating online and displaying Bin Laden’s bloodied face is reportedly a fake. It is believed that the graphic was made using the lower half of Bin Laden’s face from a photograph published years ago.


Possible lawsuit against Sony

Ontario has filled a lawsuit against Sony Corporation for breach of privacy. The attack came after Sony revealed on Monday that hackers had taken personal information from over one hundred million user accounts worldwide. Personal data included user’s names, addresses, birth dates, passwords and billing information.


Record high number of women elected

Monday’s federal election saw 76 women elected in the House of Commons. This is a historic high for Canada. The previous record was 69. According to the unofficial results posted on Parliament’s website, the NDP elected the most women MPs. 40 of them are among the 102 MPs who make up the new Official Opposition party. 27 of the women MPs are from Quebec. 

The preliminary vote turnout has gone up since three years ago. The turnout went up to 61.4% after nearly 15 million Canadians elected a Conservative majority government. 


Majority for Harper

Stephen Harper got the majority he was looking for. Canadians voted the Conservative Party into power in 167 of the 308 ridings.

A late surge from the New Democratic Party launched the party into becoming the official opposition with 102 seats. They earned most of their seats in Quebec where the Bloc Quebecois once reigned. The Bloc suffered a historic collapse in this province by losing all but 4 of their 49 seats. Adding insult to injury, once popular leader Gilles Duceppe couldn’t hold on to his seat and resigned as party leader.
