Just heard on C.B.C. radio that he was returned to his home at 3:00 this morning. This is better than Christmas folks!

As far as I know teachers are continuing to receive full salary while performing a fraction of their duties? What would happen if when we go to Safeway and pay for a loaf of bread and only receive half a loaf?

With job action and strife, right at the get go of the school year, is it a case of "enough's enough"? What do you think?

Two drunks are involved in an accident while driving. In one the passenger is thrown from the vehicle hitting his head on a concrete post resulting in instant death. In the other the passenger is thrown from the vehicle landing in a rhubarb patch and walking away. Is one driver more guilty...

Jack Tobin to be sentenced Aug. 31 - Ottawa - CBC News Crown wants five years in the slammer, defense wants 21/2. Will the judge make an example of him? What effect will being "somebody's" son have? Should his previous behaviour be taken into account?

If it was the tax that was wrong I would vote to kill it, if it was the way it was brought in that was wrong, I'd vote to "kill" them!

Does Baptism of babies serve any useful purpose and if so why?

More of the same kind of sh*t we were discussing yesterday, it's pandemic and it's time to take "the bull by the horns". The perpetrator is 15 and can't be located. CHBC Okanagan | 16 year old Vernon girl stabbed

According to C.B.C. radio news Jack Layton is dead. I think respect for Jack crosses all party lines!

I just lost a dear cousin to A.L.S. (Lou Gehrig's disease) after she'd been going steadily down hill for almost a year since diagnosis. From what I can gather this has to be one of the cruelest of diseases, where the victim eventually loses the ability to swallow or even breathe. Does anyone...

In Vernon we currently have two situations, one is a hospital that has just had an expansion, so far costing several $hundred million, but still requires another $20 million or so to become functional, meanwhile it is unoccupied. The other is school teachers discussing job action planned for...

I think that may be the coup de grace for Christy Clarks's Liberal Party. He's been solid and a straight shooter!

He's the man there is nation wide warrant out for the arrest for the brutal rape and assault of a young Penticton woman. Just wondering if there is a connection to the illustrious Lorena Bobbitt?

http://news.nationalpost.com/2011/08/01/eight-year-old-drives-truck-while-drunk-father-sleeps/ I'm not sure if that is good or bad (so long as the kid hadn't been drinking)

Maybe if enough posters respond we can identify all of them. I'll start the ball rolling by nominating David Hahn (head honcho B.C. Ferries)

Another thing that got screwed up during Trudeau's watch. "Dominion Day" was a perfectly good name as we are a dominion and this is just another case of some a$$hole changing something for the sake of change. "Canada Day" in my mind just lacks any imagination. Anyone else with ideas?

I'm not sure if we should be commenting on this before the trial, so I'm not going to make the statement that 7 people murdering one middle aged man is cowardly!

I see he just got another 42 months, not sure that it's adequate, but it is refreshing to see the so called privileged have to abide by the same rules as we unwashed do! :smile: Conrad Black going back to prison | Posted | National Post

I see the family of the kid who admitted his riotous acts on T.V. have been forced from their home as a result of death threats. Typical of the holier than thous who think someone else's crime is much worse than their own. Is this thing getting to be like Topsy? Teen athlete apologizes for...

Just heard Bill Vanderzalm on the news extolling the benefits of the G.S.T. + P.S.T. at 12% over the H.S.T. at 10%. When Bill first arrived on the scene about 1975 a lot of us thought he was dumb (not that there's anything wrong with that) but I'm wondering if he's any smarter now. He claims...
