The next time you take your dog for a stroll in Toronto, Canada, be careful about the new dog-poop rules. Seeing a sudden rise in the amount of dog poop in the parks, officials are considering whether dog owners should bring their pet poop home for compost rather than throw it in city garbage bins. According to a recent garbage audit, dog excreta consisted of nearly 27 percent of the garbage thrown into waste bins in city parks. It becomes increasingly difficult in summers when the bins start overflowing emitting fowl smell that makes it difficult for bystanders.

A Toronto school principal faces a serious board of education review after admitting to throwing feces at a young boy who was not in her care. Maria Pantalone, 49, pleaded guilty to assault against a child Monday out of "total frustration" but was given an absolute discharge to keep her from having a criminal record stemming from the incident last June - but she now faces peer sentencing for her actions.

A professor of philosophy and a professor of criminology, enacting Canadian human rights and medical marijuana legislation, were granted the right to smoke the green plant in specially ventilated rooms near their offices this week. According to a report by Reuters, both professors suffer from chronic medical conditions and their doctors say smoking pot can alleviate some of the physical symptoms of pain. Each professor was able to convince their academic employers that they must have the right to smoke on campus as opposed to their previous arrangements to make trips just off university grounds to partake.
