The #SupremeCourt has ruled that the federal #carbon_tax is #constitutional. In a split 6-3 decision the top court finds the #federal_government has jurisdiction to put a price on pollution #ableg #abpoli #cdnpoli

#Police said it happened at Prince’s Island Park on Sunday afternoon when two women wearing Muslim garb were approached by another woman, who began screaming at them. They tried to walk away from the woman, but she followed them, hurling #racially motivated slurs. Officers said the attacker then pushed one of the victims, tore her hijab, and punched and kicked her in the stomach. #yyc #racism #cdnpoli
