Your next Canada Goose coat might be on its second life by the time it gets to you. The Toronto-based, luxury apparel company announced Thursday that it is bringing Generations, a platform allowing consumers to shop for and trade in pre-loved pieces from the brand, to Canada. Pieces available for trade-in or purchase through Generations will range from the company's popular parkas and outdoor vests to snowsuits, snow pants, trench coats and even fleece and knitwear.

All of these lyrics had been written long before the shooting had occurred and none of them mentioned details of the crime or victim involved in the case being tried.

Despite the controversy that Skinner's case caused – and the clear ruling from the Supreme Court – the practice of using rap lyrics as evidence in court has only increased. Prior to Young Thug's ...
