Here's the Globe's article on that. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/uk-reins-in-afghan-prisoner-transfers-critics-urge-canada-to-follow-suit/article1618875/ “I have zero compunctions about taking steps of prosecuting Canadians for war crimes,”  - Amir Attaran

If the mods feel this should be in another place, please feel free to move. Shared with the usual caveats: From the Toronto Sun website: "The City of Toronto is looking to designate the DVP as the “Route of Heroes.” The Toronto Sun's Joe Warmington and Rob Granatstein have a problem with the...

While I don't doubt the Honourable Member meant well, I highly doubt that Mr. Anders' sentiment is going to make it into the training system anytime soon. Sect. Comd.: Group:  THREE SECTION!! Range: THREE HUNDRED!! Indication:  FIELD NEAR GRAPEHUT.  EITHER MAN WITH RPG..., OR PUPPY!! Type of...

From which orifice did he pull this?  Isn't that the raison d'etre of CSIS?

WASHINGTON — The Taliban’s top military commander was captured several days ago in Karachi, Pakistan, in a secret joint operation by Pakistani and American intelligence forces, according to American government officials. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/16/world/asia/16intel.html?hp More on...

Which "these people"?

Same situation, same NDMC, might have been the same nurse after having had a few pitying looks. As I was being wheeled in, bloopy-eyed on pre-op morphine, I summoned up what wit was left to me and asked, "Will I be able to play the glockenspiel after this?"  (Variation on the old piano joke.) ...

Someone shouts my name, I have a tendancy to shout back: "SIR!"  Ended up red-faced with a nasty look from my lady boss until I explained.  :-[ I still have an overwheming urge to come to attention in front of the water fountain. People have pointed out that I only carry stuff in my left hand...

I saw a flying Iltis once. Ipperwash, mid-80’s.  Watched this Iltis come screaming, uh, bounding, er, negotiating  ;D a three-foot high sand/grass dune.  As soon as it realized that there was no longer any ground beneath all four of its wheels, it promptly belly-whopped and then refused to move...

Bring out yer dead! *clang* Sorry, couldn't help myself, Python fan.  ;D But, back on topic, ...if, however unlikely, item b. turns out to be the jackpot, I hope somebody's on top of it. Disturbing stuff. http://www.strategypage.com/dls/articles2002/20021129.asp

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Reid_(shoe_bomber)  Yup. Notwithstanding POTUS's superhuman shoe-dodging abilities, to be fair, the guy did kind of attract attention to himself before launch.  I would have been ready to duck, too. ;D

No longer there at the request of AP®. :P

Can you spell cynic? ;D I find it just as likely that this is simply a case of, "Let's spice up the ol' sex life, honey.", followed by, "Oh sh*t honey, I forgot my phone at McDonald's®!"

Agreed!  Whoever made the promise may have personally failed to keep the promise, never considering the implications that this may have on the company, however, the company does not have the luxury of being able to disclaim promises made by their employees on their behalf.  Unfortunately, this...

My individual axe to grind concerns the advertisers that use Christmas carols or hymns to promote their products.  You know what I'm talking about, the companies that turn "Jingle Bells" into: "Buy our stuff, buy our stuff, we are really cheap... Ad nauseum... So far, the most egregious...

Fully understood.  Which is why I highlighted the "If this can be proven" part. I see we agree, McDonald's® can in no way guarantee that all circumstances were within their control, except the conduct of their employees.  This places them in the hot seat, whether we agree if it is fair or...

To me, this is the relevant part.  If this can be proven, then the employee(s) were acting as agents for McDonald's® Corp. when they made this promise, and then failed to ensure that their customer's private information would remain secure.  Any employee should be aware that, when they make...

On the very same page that you posted this, I posted actual data from Stats. Can. that I, a simple citizen, found online in a simple half-hour search showing the dichotomy in mindset that exists when it comes to protecting our school children from fires and from violence. Further, I would add...
