Wow! The LSM, as usual, was causing trouble at one of Madame's speeches, so she thought she'd be straight with them. Especially after she was accused of kicking them out. What? Willow was with her! She could, but wouldn't have done anything to the "media". Madame decided to share part of her speech with them. I have no idea how she fit this all on her palm, but oh well. This post is full of nightsticks! Categorized nightsticks! I loved it because I got to put some headings in bold and use cap locks!...

The biggest shopping day each year comes on July 1 for thirty men with deep pockets. The NHL Free Agency Market opens tomorrow, and there will be general managers across the league looking to fill holes, change directions, and stock the cupboards as contracts are offered to players. Some players are of the "game-changing" nature: Kovalchuk, Gonchar, Hamhuis, and Volchenkov. These players, it seems,...

So Toronto Police chief Bill Blair thought he had played a cute trick on "criminals" when he lied about police having the authority to detain and arrest G20 protesters outside the security fence.The Canadian Civil Liberties Association is still furious about the way police behaved during the G20 protests.But the people who should also be furious are the thousands of front line police officers who actually believed they had been given temporary authority to detain and search people at will -- who...

There are a lot of things that parents should do to help their children become well-rounded, respectful people as they mature into adults. Teaching important lessons and instilling morals and good ethics are paramount in ensuring that those children grow up to be productive segments of society. However, there seems to be a growing shortage of one important ingredient that children need. Without this...

Sorry, I'm a bit behind. It's Bush's fault, just like the oil spill. Anyways, yesterday the Supreme Court handed down a ruling that said the Constitution was right on guns! The decision was 5-4, which means that only 55% of the SCOTUS understands the Constitution on this issue. Sigh. Madame was a bit more positive when she posted her thoughts on this decision on Facebook calling it a victory for the...

A few weeks ago, the US Mint made some changes to their Direct Ship Program. This program has been tweaked many times as the Mint seemingly tries to preserve the utility of the program, while limiting the potential for abuses.The Direct Ship Program was introduced in June 2008 as a way for businesses and individuals to obtain circulating dollar coins directly from the US Mint. The purpose of the program...

I see many posts in the blogosphere and on Facebook, and clips in old media, assigning blame for the G20 breakdown in equal parts on so-called Black Bloc protesters, government and police. In an attempt to appear even-handed, fair and non-biased, observers decry all the violence as if it is all equally wrong.This is wrong - and dangerous.First of all, vandals broke windows and burned a car. The police fired rubber bullets into humans. The police hit human beings with bicycles, batons and fists....

Toronto police made a big deal today about they protected Toronto from Black Bloc violence by arresting 900 people.Except, of course, they didn't.On Saturday, the Black Bloc vandals were allowed to throw things at police, jump up and down on those artistically-abandoned police cars and then run down Yonge Street breaking windows and uprooting bricks unimpeded.But on Saturday night and Sunday, even...

It's amazing to see some of the old films that were produced under the National Film Board of Canada's umbrella.

Well, I guess we can conclude that the police have learned their lesson from the Dziekanski death.And the lesson is, don't let yourself be photographed.My friends in Toronto almost got arrested today.They stopped to watch police arrest a teenage protester, and then they didn't "move along" fast enough to suit the police -- actually, they were talking to me on the phone at the time. So the police demanded to see the memory cards on their cameras. When one of my friends objected, the plastic cuffs...

If there is one thing that the summer brings for the NHL, it's all the summer makeovers the teams seem to do. There are at least two teams that have already shown off their new uniforms, and we had two looks at patch placements for two of the three teams that have confirmed they will wear patches for the 2010-11 season. Like wandering through a clothing store, new looks will be seen this season, and...

[redsock guest post]In August 2007, we learned that Quebec police officers were undercover at a protest in Montebello, carrying large rocks, trying to incite a peaceful crowd to turn violent. Naturally, the RCMP and provincial police categorically denied the story, but were forced to admit the truth when video footage was released. The masked men were wearing the exact same type of boots as the uniformed...
