It's taken.

Not just forensics. So-called 'police procedurals' and, well . . . just about anything. TV is fantasy. A side problem is the fantasy, coupled with the fact that most are American, colour the public's expectations up here.

Phrenology was all the rage in the 1800s.

In another forum I haunt, some posters are asserting that any inquiry or investigation, as well as any public discussion, on this topic is in an of itself, racist. It's one thing to attempt to shut down debate or try to control the narrative; quite another to not objectively investigate...

When you have more than one pet, it's equity vs fairness. They understand the latter but not the former. So long they each get a treat, they don't care if one's treat is bigger than the other's .

I suppose it depends on perspective. Some would argue that it is any but compassionate to let somebody rot in a cell until the sweet release of death.

My mistake. I was thinking of the coffee shop/burger joints on Airport Rd. off the threshold of 23. Very popular with the plane spotter crowd. I think what used to be Pepi's is now a used car lot.

I believe there are some bargaining units in the broader Ontario public sector that still accumulate sick time and can get paid out for at least some upon retirement. Governments, and I assume private sector employers, generally dislike accumulated leave, particularly unlimited or high limit...

The fallibility of disciplines that are founded in areas such as chemistry, physics, etc. have a better track record than those involving fields like pathological and behavioral interpretation., primarily because they don't involve SMEs offering opinions. Ontario had to deal with a bad run of...

It's still there.

Mandatory shaved to the wood for all then. In all seriousness, when I was still working, I can't remember the number of times I heard that.

I'm not sure "fairly certain" is a bar that our common law system, or the system of any modern functioning democracy, should be satisfied with. Maybe despots sitting on their thrones were happy to wave their hand and dismiss somebody to their fate with 'fairly certain' (or they were bored that...

And, if I'm not mistaken, ruined the final years of an elderly landowner who fought the expropriation to the (his) bitter end.

Comfortable in the knowledge that they will never have to push the plunger/pull the lever/flip the switch. I'll bet that, depending on the wording and timing of the question, a majority of Canadian would think we should go into Haiti. I'm quite happy to commit my tax dollars to keeping 'the...

And to add (and I'm only guessing since I'm an outsider), the folks staring at NORAD screens 24/7, and I imagine we have a handful of fighters on rapid deployment status 24/7, with all of the flight and ground personnel it takes to make that happen. Add to that I doubt they can schedule long...

I know what you are saying. I simply don't have the faith in the infallibility of our criminal justice system. That's not a knock on our system, but simply an understanding of any system that involves humans judging humans. There have been many cases of people rotting in jail for crimes the...

The OPP had 'campaign hats' for a few years, not counting 'way back'. Not particularly practical for working out of a car; although many US agencies manage. They could have been retained for dress order but weren't. Many members bought or made hat presses. Of course, they weren't real...

Any departmental policy I have seen on this (which, admittedly, isn't extensive) indicates that if a person is a subject in a recorded image they can make an FOI request. It will take the courts a while to sort out the 'reasonable expectation of privacy' implications. I would think venue will...

I don't interpret having a conflicting territorial position to ours as not respecting our sovereignty. They claim something - we claim something. Quite frankly, if they are exploiting a perceived weakness on our part for not exercising or enforcing our claim, I'm not sure I blame them. I...

No they don't. The reject our claim that the entirety of the Northwest Passage is Canadian internal waters, and there are disputing border proposals regarding the United Nations Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf, which haven't been negotiated yet.
