It’s one of those news days today… https://www.lafferty.ca/2008/01/26/its-one-of-those-news-days-today/ Sun, 27 Jan 2008 03:51:25 +0000 http://www.lafferty.ca/2008/01/26/its-one-of-those-news-days-today/ It’s one of those news days today, as I found while catching up on Toronto news while in Ottawa:

  1. Health Officials Track Down All Puppies Sold At Flea Market After Rabies Scare
  2. “Police told the paper a man who posed as Dr. Jimmy Connolly was actually 50-year-old Gzim Bytyqi.”
  3. “A worker was cutting through propane cylinders when one detonated. Significant damage was caused to nearby buildings.”

Okaaaay.
