Murray Wood: Of Easter bunny bells and Juicy Fruit gum
For Murray Wood, Easter brings to mind grandma's practical advice about repurposing, and some of life's little lessons.
Police in London, Ont., say a 34-year-old woman is facing multiple charges after allegedly damaging a conference building with a hammer as part of a protest on Tuesday.
They allege the woman from Owen Sound, Ont., used a hammer to break electronic locks at the building’s entrance and that she fled from police into the crowd of protesters before she was arrested.
A group of pro-Palestinian protesters had gathered outside the Best Defence Conference at RBC Place in downtown London, where they blocked off entrances to the building and demanded that Canada impose an immediate two-way arms embargo on Israel.
London police say protesters had also barricaded a parking garage with construction materials and paint was thrown at conference staff members.
They say the damage to the conference building is estimated at approximately $32,000.
The woman who was arrested has been charged with mischief over $5,000, conspiracy to commit an indictable offence, resisting arrest and disguising with intent.
