Sorry, it had the endorsement of another mod, and that's good enough for me.

You guys can't even knock this crap off in a thread about why you had your forum taken away! The problem seems to be that a small minority use the misc forum to relentlessly publish their agenda both in thread creation and dragging it into threads others create. You are hijacking the popularity ste...

Don't like the cop threads? The mods asked for a moratorium on them, which you ignored. My post (which I believe was my first-ever on the subject of police, btw) was done about three weeks after Sulako's request.

When I'm browsing in a store and I see merchandise that doesn't interest me, I walk by it and focus instead on what I'm interested in. I don't see why a web site like this would be treated any differently. Don't like the cop threads? DON'T click on them. Don't like a user? Make them a 'foe'. Why is ...

Why isn't the solution as simple as banning overly-inflammatory posters AND those who purposely clutter the threads with crap? What should not happen is to close a forum simply because some hyper-sensitve users can't tolerate certain topics. (i.e. grasping at straws & trying to find fault with the w...

Uh, why the hell does Maclean's get a subsidy from the government anyway? Is it a government publication, or a news magazine? I never buy the damn thing, but I can't see why they'd qualify for money in the first place. Either stand on your own two feet, or get out of the business, I say. Maclean’s n...

Why?

What is? The facts in terms of timeline, plus some musing about possible courses of action next year? What's your point?

Recorded early Dec 2010. A follow-up of sorts to last year's performance with Yo Yo Ma.

Hard to picture Duceppe the separatist pulling something like this off.

Harper is now Canada's longest-ever serving Prime Minister in a minority government. In the fall of 2008, Harper said Canada would be one of the first ones out of the recession, and would suffer the least. Any economic stat viewed today proves he was correct. The US unemployment rate and trade defic...

Yeah, because the other forums on here are such pristine examples of organization.

Why don't you keep your drivel saved up for the mindless retorts you've been placing elsewhere of late.

Or are you suggesting he probably acts like a model citizen when in uniform? I somewhat doubt that's the case. I dont think anyone defends the beating of women, but in this quote above do you mean like yourself when you arrive at your control facility? You and CPL_ATC should take note, that I doubt...

Mr. Ryan was off-duty at the time. It doesn't matter that he was RCMP at the time. It would have been a different story if he was on duty or still in uniform after a shift. He was just another guy out at that point. How many times a day does someone get pushed or hit in an argument every day? Who c...
