Your morning news roundup for Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008:
Noticed police officers in denim lately? You're not crazy: 12 days ago, Montreal police began wearing red hats and blue jeans to work as a pressure tactic. They've been without a contract since 2007.
Adam van Koeverden, reigning Olympic and world champion of the 500-metre kayak singles, has been chosen as Canada's flag bearer for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. "He tolerates a lot of pain," according to coach Scott Oldershaw. And really, what's more Canadian than the ability to take it?
And that's the way the cookie crumbles: Cookie maker Biscuits Leclerc is suing Le Devoir and its consumer columnist Fabien Deglise for defamation. The writer's opinion piece on the company's new Praeventia cookies is what caused the dispute.

The Gay Village is in full fiesta mode, and it's all thanks to the pedestrian zone between Berri St. and Papineau Ave. Businesses are flourishing and terrasses are packed. To join the celebrations, look out for the upcoming Divers/ Cité festival from July 29 to Aug. 3.
Viagra, that revitalizer of male mojos, may also benefit women on antidepressants, according to a new study. And I quote: "Researchers who tested the drug in women experiencing sexual side effects from antidepressants found those taking Viagra showed greater improvement in sexual function - specifically, improved orgasms and partner satisfaction - than women in the placebo group." But it all gets a little iffy once you find out that the study was funded by no other than Pfizer, the maker of Viagra.
