There's a street in Toronto where someone leaves passive-aggressive notes on legally parked carsharing cars, whining that the street is for "residents".
As a result, local Communauto users have organically agreed to park there when done if possible.
I love the internet.

When court records cost money, people resort to insane things. Today's example involves taking photos of computer screens in the courthouse as a method of digitizing court records, because downloading is too expensive.

Supreme courts everywhere releasing absolutely terrible decisions. :(
Also, say goodbye to the Santa suits. Justice Wagner says that they were worn for the last time during the Speech From the Throne, and that new ceremonial robes will be unveiled at the Ceremonial Opening of the Court in October.

This concept is so cute though
"Hey, I know you guys are leaving for the day and I never get the question right, but -"
Guard, sighing: "You may ask one question as always."
Person: "Would you marry me, handsome?"
Guard, blushing: "N-no..."
Other guard: "He means yes!"

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.
