I provided a link to that above under the word
death, in my second post. Tried to be subtle about it.

Just out of curiosity Fable, have you lately been on a kick to show up Canada as a sort of poorer cousin to the US in terms of politics and such?  (since you also made mention of Harper and his band of thugs in a thread I recently posted).
No worries, Harper, and the Vancouver police disgust me too, I just noticed is all |
I've just mentioned Canada twice, now. That's hardly being on a kick.
It's just a matter of being surprised, is all. Whenever Canada is mentioned here by the kind of blogs and news I read, it's always in reference to your government's sterling pacifism, welfare system, treatment of the disadvantaged, etc. Yet then something like this happens, far worse than anything yet committed by any of the US municipal police forces associated nationally with heavy-handed behavior (LA, Houston, Chicago). What am I supposed to think when this shows up, or Canadians elect for themselves a fresh new northern Bush, after seeing what our Yale-educated oil brat achieved?
