Let's get this out of the way, before it goes any farther. Yes, it is an offence, for justified reasons, to tamper with a railway signal. Yes, this could in theory endanger people's lives. This will go against my generalization of "any sort of conceivable danger," as a whole. I will not debate...

Trust me, in no way shape or form, am I coming to the defence of 'Idle No More,' or any  form of Native protest in this issue. That being said, I think some people are being slightly hyperbolic when they label anything that has taken place so far as 'terrorism.' No-one, from the government to...

Without getting too worked up into a froth, I think that there is some merit to the discussion of religious ceremony on Remembrance Day. Most of us have been standing at attention or sitting in pews thinking, "where is the connection?" I must profess that I am not religious, haven't been in...

Oh, boy. Yes. Yes, that's egg on my face.

So, because this gentleman is one of "our own," he should get a free pass from questioning, despite the fact that something that has certainly, at one point, belonged to him, showed up at the scene of a shooting? I am just going out on a limb, but that would be sloppy police work, not getting...

"The firearm of the design commonly known as the M-16 rifle, and any variant or modified version of it, including the:" The law is fairly black and white in this matter. Just because the AR-10 isn't on the list, doesn't mean that it isn't 'Restricted.' It isn't governed by barrel length, or...

Well, for one, I don't know why someone would be using an AR-10 as a hunting rifle. Maybe I'm just biased. Second, you have not found a loophole. Any firearm in the category of AR, be it 10 or 15, is 'Restricted' in Canada. You also need to brush up on your legislation familiarization. The...

Trust me, I don't think many people here, and I am referring to this board, are "shocked." Its a fairly unique group of people that frequent or post here, many or most of whom, have seen their fair share of suffering and horror. Maybe a better word is "disappointed." "We" are supposed to be...

A dog being thrown off a cliff by an adult Western soldier and 15 year old Johnny who decided to microwave his neighbour's cat are sign of something much worse. We punish or try to rehabilitate people who do this not because of how cute the animal is, because really, its an animal. We do it...

In my mind, this is a "can't see the forest for the trees" scenario. I don't think anyone here is comparing any of the three aforementioned incidents involving US military personnel to actions of the enemy, nor comparing them in scale or depth to truly barbaric acts of depravity. That being...

I wonder if the TTC offers to send back excess fares from increased ridership during events that draw tourists, such as the CNE, Toronto Indy, etc. Oh, wait.

Where, oh where, are the people who complained about the $1.1 billion budget, now that this event has more probes than a backwoods Alabama UFO tale? This horse needs to be taken out behind the barn, and quickly.

Today, is the day my husband was supposed to come home from a six month tour at sea. I heard the door bell ring. I sprinted to the door expecting to hold my honey bear, instead two uniformed sailors with a folded flag greeted me. I burst into tears. My husband walked up behind me. He laughed...

I haven't read all 30+ pages of the discussion, though I have tried to keep up. And it has been awhile since last posting. So bear with me. And I am not complaining (maybe...), just trying to add some thoughts that others may have already noted. My unit, like many others, have lost a...

This was one of the most fascinating things that I have ever had the privilege of reading while on this site.

Sorry, but that ain't what I would call a clean record. And thinking about lying, or covering it up, because you had the divine fortune to be charged under what I consider to be a toothless piece of legislature which does not absolve you of said guilt, just compounds the fact that maybe, just...

One of the best 10 minutes of video I have ever watched.

Fair enough, but that only works if 100% of the tax-payers in this country vote. 41% of those that were over 18 didn't vote, much less decide to where their funding was going. And what of those under voting age, that pay taxes? No political party should thrive on public coffers.
