From the Globe and Mail:

Dozens of amateur videos and photographs, willingly provided by an outraged public, have helped police in Montreal make fresh arrests in the wake of Monday's hockey riot.

In a modern twist on the age-old art of snitching, citizens are e-mailing photos, offering amateur videos and turning to police websites to help investigators identify individuals involved in the downtown fracas.

Police credit public co-operation for boosting the number of riot-related arrests yesterday to 23.

For example, police posted six new photos of rioters on a department website yesterday, some showing vandals damaging a police car. All were provided by people mixed in with the throngs of revellers marking the Canadiens' first-round playoff series victory.

RSF.org is reporting that Russian authorities kicked the Globe and Mail's Jane Armstrong out of Chechnya a week ago, purportedly for not having her papers in order.

Here's the news release.

From Globe and Mail Update:

In a report titled Food Inflation: Coming to a Grocery Store Near You, (CIBC World Markets economist Avery) Shenfeld noted that while consumers are seeing higher costs of grain prices in food such as bakery products and pasta, that has been offset by stable or falling prices for other products, partly because of the strong Canadian dollar.

“Even relative to our closest neighbour, food prices have been remarkably tame in the last year,” Mr. Shenfeld said. “But after looking at what's behind that exceptional gap, it's clear that Canada's good luck on food prices is likely to run out in 2009.”
