Celebrities at Target opening

Anyone wanting to spot some celebrities in Toronto today may be in luck.

Celebs — Dion Phaneuf, wife Elisha Cuthbert, Blake Lively and glee-star Cory Monteith, will be in the city for a “red-carpet” event to mark the opening of Target Canada at Toronto’s Shoppers World Danforth, the Toronto Star reports. 

Although the event is for media, Target Canada will be hosting a grand opening for their 24 new locations, on April 5. 

The opening will be mainly to distribute the company’s first Canadian flyer, with possible door prizes and sales to be announced. 

“That’s a big event for us, so we can continue to communicate that value message to our guests,” said president Tony Fisher in a speech on Tuesday.

 Rob Ford and football 

Parents at Don Bosco Catholic Secondary met Tuesday night to discuss if Rob Ford should continue to coach the school’s football team, the Toronto Star  reports. 

The meeting comes at a time when Ford has been under scrutiny for comments he made during an interview with Sun News. 

“You can’t tell them to get an education. But I use the football as a carrot,” he said in the interview. 

After it aired, an anonymous letter was sent by a group of teachers to the senior board officials, sparking the board’s investigation.

“We’re not saying we want to oust Mayor Ford, it’s just a discussion, because there is some anger but there’s good things too,” Teresa Bridport, vice-chair of the school’s parent council, told the Star.

Parent council chair Doreen Way addressed parents at the meeting with a prepared statement, saying that it will be up the Toronto Catholic District School Board to decide.

The meeting’s purpose was to create a message to send to the school board. 

Police need wiretap order to seize text messages

Canada’s Supreme Court has ruled that police now need a wiretap order to get ahold of text messages from phone providers, overturning a lower court ruling, reports CBC News.

A past ruling ordered Telus Communications to turn over text messages from two clients after being served with a general warrant from police in Owen Sound, Ont. 

Two judges agreed with the ruling, while two others opposed. 

Wiretap orders are harder to get, and before now only applied to private conversations, and not text messages.
