Toronto bigamist pleads guilty to one extra wife — out of 19
Posted by admin / Under Toronto Police Service
To obtain a City of Toronto nuptial licence, both applicants must swear there is no “prior marriage.” Barbara Daniels doesn’t remember the man she wed in 1978 telling that particular lie — there were so many. “He’d talk Jesus off the cross, that guy. He was a rotter from the word go,” says the Ottawa nurse, who turns 70 next week. On Thursday, her ex-husband, Oliver Killeen, pleaded guilty in a Toronto courthouse to one count of bigamy after admitting he married Daniels while still wedded to another woman. He once boasted to a Star reporter that he had married...

Same-sex penguin pair find female partners
Posted by admin / Under Toronto Police Service
TORONTO (AP) - It appears a female has come between one of Canada's celebrity couples. Toronto's zoo split up a pair of male penguins last month whose affection for each other drew headlines and jokes about "Brokeback Iceberg." The zoo said Monday that Buddy and Pedro have been officially separated and Buddy has mated with a female. Pedro has yet to get lucky, but officials say it's not for a lack of trying. The birds' separation was one zoo officials said was necessary because penguins are an endangered species and the two needed to mate with females. The African penguins...

Posted by admin / Under Toronto Police Service

The so-called Arab Spring is another dark night unfolding across the Middle East. This was predictable, and inevitable. The Tunisian fruit-seller who sparked this Arab Spring by self-immolating was a man driven to despair by the very culture into which he was born, and from which he knew there was no escape. The act of self-immolation was a terrible display of despair of a desperate man. And so is the political drama in Arab...

Fighting prejudice through imitation
Posted by admin / Under Toronto Police Service
Asking white people to mirror the movements of a black person lowers their levels of implicit prejudiceNew research shows that you can reduce racial prejudice simply by having a person mimic the movements of a member of the race he or she is prejudiced against. The method may work by activating brain mechanisms that contribute to feelings of empathy. Normally, when we watch another person perform an action, our brain activity changes as we mentally simulate the other person. But the brain activity is less strong when we're watching people from other racial groups, and is least strong among people...
