McMaster University has suspended an engineering student group over a songbook containing what the university calls sexist, violent and degrading material.

The songbook contains around 25 cheers and includes multiple references to violent rape, murder, incest, bestiality and sex with underage females. It is also rife with misogynistic and homophobic slurs.

It is not clear when the songbook was created, but itsforeword suggests the students who compiled it were set to graduate in 2010.

A handful of city councillors want to appoint former mayor Bob Morrow to replace Coun. Bernie Morelli, who died last week. But not everyone thinks the veteran politician should be the only option.

Merulla plans to introduce a motion in February to appoint Morrow to the vacant Ward 3 council seat.
