$260M fraud trial underway in Vancouver - British Columbia - CBC News

It's being reduced from 24/7 to daytime hours. I find this decision particularly dumb and unsensitive. Kaslo is located about 40 miles over a treacherous and crooked highway from the nearest major hospital. It is a town of approx. 1000 people where adverse winter conditions are normal. This...

We've heard quite a bit the past few days about recently unprecedented bank profits by our 5 major banks........good or bad news depending on who you ask. To me unless we know how much of that money if any was profit to shareholders, the news is meaningless.

Are thy buying all the kids bicycles and sandboxes? I'm starting another thread for this, Petros. Just heard on C.B.C. news that Cranbrook is getting a $100000 injection so the kids aren't so bored. What is happening? When we were kids if we had some flat ground, some sloped ground and some...

Public sector sick days cost $1 billion a year - Canada - CBC News Why isn't this problem being dealth with for what it is? THEFT!

That is just about all I've been hearing this past week or two on C.B.C. radio. I really wonder if people who are not in that position are able to have a valid opinion. Can a meaningful conclusion be drawn from a discussion between people on both sides of the line?

Than parliament sitting around the clock to ram through a bunch of bills? With the majority the bills are going to be passed one way or the other whether it takes a day a week or a month. What is the point of the opposition resisting? What is the point of Harper's panic? I've come to the...

I've learned in life if something doesn't work after trying it once or twice, then in all likelihood it's not to work unless changes are made. Yet our justice system can't see to get their heads around this simple concept. One thing they might try is getting mental assessments done on repeat...

It's no wonder we have people going off the "deep end" after dealing with disappointment, because as kids they never had to deal with it or face the truth. Schools are like an assembly line, in one end and out the other, with not much gained in between. That teacher should get a medal for...
