Another Bald-Faced Lie From The Defense Minister
Not that he has any credibility left, but Minister of Defense Peter McKay has told yet another whopper, this one at the Conference of Defence Association's annual meeting. 
New From The Police Beat
Ryan Tocher, a Hamilton police officer who the SIU likely has on speed dial, is being investigated for a third time by the ostensibly impotent unit, this time for his involvement in the death of an unarmed Phonesay (Pun) Chanthachack, who was shot earlier this month while behind the wheel of his van.
What's the old saying, Three strikes and you're out?
Meanwhile, police in Toronto are outraged over the fact that one of their own, Const. David Cavanagh, has been charged with second-degree murder in the death of Eric Osawe, who was shot in the back two years ago.
Toronto Police Association union president Mike McCormack called the murder charge “over the top,” saying there is no new evidence against the 35-year-old officer. “The Crown has had this case for two years. Nothing has changed,” he told reporters.
“My concern right now is that membership and police officers who work in the city have lost confidence in the process.”
Perhaps this loss of confidence McCormack refers to will lead to some empathy on the part of officers, as now they might begin to understand what the public has felt after being witness to some very questionable police actions these past many years.

Harper's Continued Debasement of Democracy
For those with a naive trust in the 'integrity' of the Harper regime, I heartily recommend that you start educating yourselves about the machinations being orchestrated in Ottawa by our dark lord. Here and here would be two good places to start. As well, The Galloping Beaver has some interesting insights on the military maneuvers of our offensive Minister of Defense, Peter McKay.
Otherwise, continue to bury your head in the sand while our country's proud traditions are being destroyed by a rogue government.

The Criminals In Ottawa - Why Am I Not Surprised?
Based upon a report in The Ottawa Citizen, it appears that Stephen Harper and his crew, through a company called Racknine Inc., engaged in fraud aimed at voter-suppression in the last federal election by attempting to send voters to the wrong polling station.
Elections Canada is investigating. Interim NDP Leader Nycole Turmel calls the tactics a disgrace. I call them criminal acts.

Toronto's Thuggish Mayor
The thuggish mentality of the Ford crew is captured rather nicely here, I think.
