    Sgt. Ryan Russell - Toronto Police Service

    The Dupont parkette, near Dupont St. and Avenue Rd., was renamed for Sgt. Ryan Russell, 35, who died in the line of duty in January. The park is just blocks from the spot where Russell was struck by a stolen snowplow driven by a man without shoes. At the wheel was Richard Kachkar, who has since...

    U.S. 2012 Election

    If America adopts Canada's health care system

    We need to be careful about pretending that Canada and the U.S. represent examples of the public versus the private model. Canadian health care has a lot of capitalism in it. And American health care has a lot of socialism in it. Neither is pure. Either system could have its faults ascribed to...

    Media Bias [Merged]

    I do not know if the problem is the CBC per se. Both the UK and the US have excellent public sector/non-profit broadcasters. In fact, I would argue that the BBC and PBS produce much better shows than commercial networks with their formulaic bubble gum. (Oh look, the 22 year old blonde...

    Spare the austerity, spoil the military

    So far, I haven't found any links to the thesis itself. However, Major Gasparotto has at least one published book. http://www.forces.gc.ca/site/commun/ml-fe/article-eng.asp?id=6330

    If America adopts Canada's health care system

    Right wing, left wing. Doesn't matter. Health care is never going to be cheap in Canada, as long as we're a Timbits Nation.

    Defence spending: does the party in power spell the difference?

    I guess it's like Mark Twain said. There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.

    Onion Magazine: America ignored the warning signs

    I sat through the first Transformers, because it was a show I liked when I was four. I sat through the second Transformers, because I heard that Steven Spielberg was the Executive Producer. In general, Spielberg pictures are well worth the time. But Transformers 3? No way will I go to see it...
