Forget the DNA, one of these idiots was all ready " on file " having been printed after  a previous theft conviction. Not CSI Miami, but simple , basic police work. They left a blood trail about a kilometre long, away from the scene. One of them cut his arm going thru the window. Jim B. Toronto.

I watched this video clip twice, and made notes as it played. Some of my thoughts about this event........ This small group of US soldiers were supposed to be trying to kill a Taliban leader ? But when they are describing the action they refer to their "patrol base " being surrounded ? With...

The story say that the Tiger was moved in psoition in the AFV hall by "two men using a air supported platform " ? Say what ??? Any one know what that item is called ?  Sure would be a  handy  item in the auto body and or heavy equipment business, yes ? Jim B.

I'll just point this out.. ANY sitting Member of Parliament, who dies WHILE IN OFFICE, has his/her pension settlement DOUBLED upon their  death. In the Cadman case, if he voted to topple the Government of the day, forcing an election, he was gambling that he would LIVE to be re-elected, and...

Sparton .....................A slight  correction, if you don't mind.......... It isn't a NOVEL, that would be a work of fiction, made up by the author. It is a work of facts and opinions. And some very hard realities. In my opinion, it should be mandatory reading ,  in every Canadian grade...

The problem is that black parents do NOT value education enough to get their kids to STAY in school. Regard the Chinese and the  Indians, who DO value education over bling and hip hop lifestyles. Their kids not only stay in school they go to University and GRADUATE with a degree and go on to...

He is a Canadian citizen now. So can his citizenship be re-voked ? Or can he be charged under  the "Hate Speech "  sections of the  CCC? He also made remarks about Jews, so lets hear from the Canadian Jewish Congress. My understanding is that a person who advocates violence against a "...

In my experience, the first 60 seconds of conversation with a driver will decide how lenient an officer will be with said driver.  While walking up to the stopped vehicle, most guys will be watching the head and the hands of the driver, to see if any "furtive moves ' are being made under the...

This may sound like an odd question,  at first, but bear with me a bit ..... My wife was born in The Bahamas, in Nassau, and she still has family there. During a recent phone call, her brother mentioned that the  Royal Bahamas  Police Force was very badly equipped and their training is still...

SGT Schultz : Yes there are SOME  minor  pro hockey leagues in the UK, but my point was more around  the idea of a " thanks guys event " not just an  exact  copy of the way we are doing this here in Canada.  About the USA............I wonder if NASCAR, or NFL  fans would do something similar...

First, Kudos to the Oilers fans, for giving up their seats so this could happen. Second can any of our American friends tell us if this kind of thing has ever been done in the USA ? Thirdly, same question for our UK  readers ? Perhaps this could become an international idea ? In any case...

Why hasn't Don Cherry been given the Order of  Canada? Simple, he's not a Liberal, he's not a Leftie , and he IS outspokenly a supporter of US, not THEM. With the attitude of the "chattering classes " who control such awards, he'll NEVER get it. And , if he was asked, about it, I bet he...

Did anyone besides me see the CBC news story that was shot in this guys' home town in Poland the other night ? It seems that he has  been out of work for the past two years ( he was a coal miner  before that ) . His neighbours said that he is an alcoholic, who has had mental problems for  many...

What disturbed me the most, in this story,  was that there are about 330 more of these people hiding out in Canada. WTF? Jim B. Toronto.

Mortarman : How well was Crete defended and by whom ?  I don't think that the two can be compared, really. I do agree with your point about a complete lack of overall planning and control on the german side, re an invasion of Great Britain. Think about how long the Allies took to get their...
