A Syncrude tailings pond in the Fort McMurray oil sands project has turned into the final stop for hundreds of migrating ducks. Rescue efforts are under way, but hampered by the ring of ice around the pond which prevents launching boats to get at the dying birds. Noise cannons which are...

Among the reasons this rips me completely the wrong way, is the fact that molesting a 5 year old and getting a 5 1/2 year sentence means that he will be getting out right as this young girl heads into puberty. An already defining time in a woman's sexual development, it is going to be...

In light of the media panic about food shortages and such, my husband and I decided it might be a good idea to stock up on a few things (rice, flour) and we figured, while we were at it, we had best set up an emergency kit that could get us through a couple weeks of stressful times. We bought...

Okay, so the topic of cultural gender selection came up, and talk about odd timing. A friend sent me this article link today, about how scientists think there is perhaps a caloric link in how our bodies select the gender of our offspring. High calorie diets mean more boys. Our current low cal...

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,351275,00.html An atheist father has lost his court case attempting to keep his son out of Catholic school. All religious arguments aside, separate school seems to be the way to go, even in Canada, so I really don't blame the mother for pushing for it.

I was listening to Rutherford this morning while painting in my bathroom, and they were discussing the proposed living wage policies about to be voted on in Calgary on the 9th. At face value, it seemed like a good idea to me. Currently in some of Alberta's cities you simply can't afford...

I had first saw the story of security guard Phil Saunders about a week ago, before leaving on vacation. The Edmonton Sun ran a story on this big hearted security guard at Edmonton City Hall, who was taking the time to hand rear a baby parakeet abandoned by its mother due to deformed legs...

What could Edmonton, Las Vegas, New Orleans and London, England, have in common? All night bar service if some city politicians and industry leaders have their way. It’s being pitched as one way to do away with the after-bar rush, where thousands of young people hit the street in search of the...

The idea of ephebiphobia came up in discussion with my husband today, sparked by the song title 'teenage dirtbag' (which, I know, has nothing to do with the actual issue of ephebiophobia, but the term sparked a discussion in me nonetheless). I posed the question, 'to what degree are teens...

By A. Chris Gajilan CNN (CNN) -- When you first meet 4-year-old Roberto Salazar, you can't help but notice his unwavering smile and constant laughter. By all accounts, he's a very happy boy. It is only when he rams his head violently into walls or plays a little too roughly with a schoolmate...

Katherine Walker – CBC.ca In one regard, Shakespeare got it right when he wrote "What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet." Renaming the Georgia Strait the Salish Sea, as proposed by B.C. Premier Gordon Campbell earlier in March, won't make much...

Yep, nothing beats being on hold with 911. Has anyone ever had this experience? I couldn't believe it! On hold for at least 1 minute because all operators were busy. Crazy! Some high shoplifter in a fist fight with a security guard, throwing each other around in a pile of broken glass, and...
