Does it make any sense at all to rebuild a city on a flood plane below sea level? I don’t think so, and this guy doesn’t think we should pay for it either.
Forget insurance. My next guest says not one taxpayer dollar should go toward rebuilding the city of New Orleans
Toronto is descending in to an American style city, and our gutless politicians can’t stop it.
Look, I’m no expert on crime. But to me that’s like trying to battle a four-alarm blaze with a fire extinguisher. The thugs don’t give a hoot about models or secretariats.
The latest Homolka liason was the first in a long line of sick guys who
can’t wait to get into the killer’s pants. What an allure the black widow holds.
More proof that our government just won’t give up on its capitulation to Quebec.
The federal government is ready to ask the CRTC to rescind its decision to license satellite radio, government sources say. “Everything suggests that the cabinet will ask the CRTC to overturn its decision,” an official close to the file said yesterday.
There is no evidence that even if Sirius is allowed in Canada, that we’d get the Stern channels, which is why I am ordering my receiver now directly from the US (to join the already thousands of Canadians who haven’t bothered to wait for Mother Ottawa to sort things out).
Any newcomer from Jamaica hoping to get away from daylight, senseless, and brazen daily gun violence will be sad to see that there’s no escaping it in Toronto. Why come here when at least the weather’s warm down there all year round?
A well-known community figure approached by a group of four or five youths was shot to death in the courtyard of a Scarborough apartment complex last night, in an incident witnessed by as many as 20 adults and children.
The group-huggers would do well by going down to Kingston, like former chief Fantino, and getting some tips on how they keep the lid on their 5-a-day murders.
Can you imagine
such frank talk in this country? Good on ya, mate.
It’s only a matter of time before the boyfriend is charged with murder in the Ross case.
Police have also interviewed her boyfriend, 29-year-old Sean Hine, more than once.
I suppose they have to wait for a body to be found…
I remember seeing a follow up doc on CBC news a month of so ago on the plight of the Indians in a new government build town. It was hard to believe what an utter failure this was, and how the story never really made any mainstream press. I missed Mark’s take on the issue last year – as usual, it’s bang on.
Consider the sums of money involved: $152 million for 700 people. That’s $217,142.85 for each man, woman or child. I’ve got a wife and three kids, so, had we been in Davis Inlet, that would have been $1,085,714.20 just for us. Imagine what you could do with that. Build a new house. Start a company. Hire some people. Invest in business opportunities. Get the kid an Ivy League education.
It’s so easy to forget why we’re here while we make money to pay bills
that never stop, but every now and then we get a reminder.
A co-worker’s 4 year old daughter finally succombed to cancer, after
fighting it for most of her life. No other co-worker bothered to show
for the funeral. Her father rightly said that one can accept a 60 year
old getting a deadly disease., but not a child.
It’s clear that most people can’t see the trees for the forest any more,
and that’s sad.
Am I the only one who’s noticed that since Fantino’s gone with his tough
talk that the lid has come off the crime can?
It seems that he wasn’t just talking tough, or all his lieutenants have
gone limp listening to all the community policing crap.
It’s hard not to be when you read this story.
Canada’s most controversial Muslim cleric spent his professional life working around vulnerable nuclear facilities in Canada and the U.S., designing ways to protect them from explosions, tornadoes and plane crashes.

Jwalk has an entry that most Canadian-US bashers will eat up.
Jonson, at Metafilter, calls this the “greatest video in the history of the internet”.
It’s difficult to see a golden lining in this new era of high oil prices.
Those who want us less dependent on fossil fuels should find cause to celebrate the discipline which high oil prices impose.
While it’s great that DNA can help solve cold cases, doesn’t it just figure that some who killed two others only 12 years previous is the killer.
The match pointed to MacDonald, who lived within an hour’s drive of the crime scene. At the time, he lived alone and was on parole after serving just 12 years of a life sentence for the 1975 shooting deaths of a police officer and cab driver in Dartmouth, N.S.
More proof we need the DP in Canada – now.
