    Black Lives Matter-Ugliness of Racism.

    At least we were spared from that. While I don't condone anybody's death with the list of charges against him it doesn't sound like he was a saint. I would likely place him in the no great loss category.

    christmas music

    I avoid it. I hear them play that horrible Mariah Carrey song I change the channel. When its time to listen to Xmas music around December 23rd or 24th, I listen to Holiday Traditions channel on SXM. For some reason the pop stars of the 40s, 50s and 60s sound better than today's artists.

    Man who killed pregnant woman and three other children sentenced to die in prison

    Always technicalities. I suppose releasing them at 30,000 feet without a parachute is also against the conventions?

    Federal Trade Minister Mary Ng broke ethics rules over contract to friend, commissioner rules

    I would be ok just withholding the medical care. Let them die of natural/unnatural causes in their cell.

    Man who killed pregnant woman and three other children sentenced to die in prison

    I too support a true life sentence over death penalty. Not 25 years or any chance of parole but locked up until you die.

    Eight teenage girls charged with murder in stabbing death of 59-year-old Toronto man: police

    Man who killed pregnant woman and three other children sentenced to die in prison

    Life in prison is too good. They should let him loose in the general population for a bit.
