Police are defending the use of a Taser to stop a 12-year-old girl from allegedly assaulting a school staff member in Oshawa.
Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Durham Police Sgt. Joanne Bortoluss said that officers called to Sir Albert Love Catholic School on Monday morning had to make a “split second decision” amid what she said was an active assault call.
“She (the girl) was actively violently assaulting a female staff member of that school. That female staff member did have injuries. That assault was ongoing and officers made the decision at the time to deploy the Taser and it was effective,” she said.

A day after accusing the Indian government of playing a role in the brazen shooting of a Canadian Sikh leader, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he isn’t trying to “provoke” the South Asian country.
“We are not looking to provoke or escalate. We are simply laying out the facts as we understand them,” Trudeau told reporters Tuesday, before a cabinet meeting.
What an idiot.

When it comes to the issue of gender identity being taught in schools, the “battle” lines have been drawn and war has been declared.
Organized labour has mustered a counter-protest of the Million Person March for Children which is set for Wednesday in Toronto, Ottawa and other cities.
