Twitter has suspended an account called CanadaCreep which apparently was a repository for photos and video of Calgary area women taken in public places but typically with the focus on closeups of breast, buttocks etc. Some of the videos are said to have been of the so-called upskirt kind. The story, released Wednesday by CBC, does not have the name of the owner of the account, if is publicly known. It is possible to set up a Twitter account more or less anonymously. Local police are said to be looking into CanadaCreep. CBC says the CanadaCreep account was active for almost a year and had posted hundreds of photos and videos before Twitter shut it down on Tuesday morning, following complaints. Alexandra Constantinidis, 22, learned on Monday evening she was among the women whose images were posted to the site. She said numerous friends alerted her to a nearly minute-long video that appeared to be of her walking in downtown Calgary, filmed from behind and focused on her backside. When she watched it for herself, she recognized it as being recorded on Friday, as she was going to get lunch. Canada Creep is said to have amassed 17,000 followers.

Will the Reeve of Tay Township please get the heck over to Lily Smith’s lemonade stand and give it “authorization” so the bozos in the licensing department don’t knock it down? Lily, 5, has been minding her business selling lemonade for a week to neighbors in the Georgian Bay community north of Barrie. They like it. But now here comes someone with a notice that it must all be taken down or her dad, Jonathon, will pay $125 for its removal. Hey, they wouldn’t let Burger King  just throw up a stand in the country. Next thing you know Lily will be taking over Dunlop Street. Rules are rules.

Niagara OPP have sent out a situational video within the hour (above) saying that the hazardous material known as phosphine is contained within the transport truck that tangled with a median fence and rolled on the Queen Elizabeth Way Tuesday afternoon. Hazmat personnel on assessing the removal of the poisonous, flammable material and part of St.Catharines has been evacuated. The crash happened around 3 p.m. along the Fort Erie bound QEW at Martindale Road when a tractor-trailer flipped onto the centre median guard rail. There was a fire at the time of  the rollover but it was quickly extinguished. A fire broke out as a result of the rollover, Ontario Provincial Police Sgt. Kerry Schmidt told CP24. It was feared the phosphine had leaked. Phosphine is a flammable fumigant and forms a clear colourless gas in its natural state. It is classified as “very toxic” and when inhaled, causes cell damage in lungs and affects the nervous system.
