A Toronto gallery must now pay tens of thousands of dollars to a Canadian musician who alleged he was sold a fake painting purported to be by the renowned Indigenous artist Norval Morrisseau.

Ontario's top court says the trial judge made several errors in dismissing the legal action by Kevin Hearn, a member of the Barenaked Ladies, against the Maslak-McLeod Gallery.

Court documents say Hearn launched his legal battle after an official at the Art Gallery of Ontario told him the painting was likely a fake, and the gallery's now-deceased owner refused to investigate the allegation or issue a refund. In a ruling released today, the court of appeal says the trial judge erred in rejecting the expert's testimony based on his own research, which was not entered as evidence.

Mexican cannabis users eagerly await legal marijuanaThe Mexican Supreme Court in August ordered the Health Ministry to publish guidelines for medicinal cannabis use within 180 days. Last October, the court also ruled that the prohibition of personal use, possession and private cultivation of cannabis is unconstitutional because it violates 'the fundamental right to the free development of the personality.' Luckily gangs and drug cartels still regulate and distribute crack, cocaine and heroin. We are so blessed that police make sure no teens need to show ID for them, they just gotta say yes.
