Excellent article. A must for anyone who wants to understand NCR. In reality, their reintegration programs are very successful.

My main concern rests with the Shelley Glovers of the world. Choosing Li as a talking point, as a case to be appealed. What has she ever said about the thousands of people who have been killed by impaired drivers? IMO, her motive is not justice. Her motive is get re-elected.

The truth is we're all Naive about this - but some of us have at least a little trust in the professionals while you clearly don't As for Selkirk, I live 20 minutes from town and go there once or twice a week. Most people are wondering why there's so much fuss about Lee when plenty of criminally insane individuals roam the city on a regular basis.

Because in both scenarios - a person is dead. Yet when someone has served their sentence for vehicular homicide they are released - and it's usually not all over the news and we don't have MP's calling for appeals. Can't have it both ways.

Generalization that is way off the mark. A lot of people who have been touched by mental health issues would take offense to this remark. That's why we, as a collective group of people trying to co-exist with one another, rely on professionals (i.e Mark H's point) in these chosen vocations to apply their education, expertise, experiences and emotional intelligence to the most relevant information/evidence available. Usually no one case is identical to the other that warrants a particular decision for that situation. Yes, sometimes they get it right and sometimes they don't. That's true for any vocation. It's called the complexity of life. Quite frankly I don't care if those people are offended. I see no reason to be PC about it. If you're crazy you're crazy why tip toe around it? Like I said I am all for mental health awareness and programs to help people and ending the nonsense that some problems you just have to suck up and deal with it... but once you cross the line from simply crazy to crazed killer I'm sorry but it's game over and I want that person out of society. Yeah well, drunk people have also been known to do some crazy things, especially while behind the steering wheel. but if you commit a crime while drunk you don't get to use the techinicality that you weren't in your right state of mind, you get held responsible for your actions. Drunkeness can reduce a murder charge to manslaughter, which greatly shortens the sentence. When said person is released - there is no way to know if they'll reoffend or not.

Or people on hallucinogenic drugs (for example). I don't even want to think of the crazy people (not mentally crazy, but insane/murderous etc) that have gotten released once they serve his time. I highly, HIGHLY doubt doctors (you know, medically trained professionals....) would release he was at even a low risk to reoffend. Can you be absolutely sure? You can't. Same thing with someone who was found guilty of impaired driving - you can't be sure they won't re-offend. Yet many are not in any kind of custody - what if they 'go off the rails' and kill someone?

You can't find someone guilty if you can't prove intent - that's not unique to Canada.

Proving you know absolutely nothing about their training.

Great stuff. I remember going **** when rushers reached the second level so often last year. I assumed it was scheme related but was never exactly sure. I think the answer your question depends on whether or not they have a solid nose tackle coming out of TC.

I dare say Bluto does not share your opinion of his performance in Toronto.

Do you guys having any training in psychiatric evaluation? I don't either

LOL - in the dictionary under "Hutterite" your profile picture could be used. Only if they want a modern version I got stuck one time and Mark H refused to help pull me out......mighty neighbourly.... It was the sabbath - only Corb Lund works on that day

@laudedlad

Yep. And he was exactly the same in Toronto - that is one signing that never made even a shred of sense.

IMO - the defensemen are the best overall group Canada has ever had. Babcock can consistently use all 6 D men and know they'll effective. BY contrast - Orpik was logging big minutes for the U.S.

Looking forward to more OL analysis - an area of great interest to me - but I've always been just a casual observer. Unless you count pick up games where we decided counting steamboats was boring.

Yes, you can cherry pick that trade because it was a good one. Garrick Jones and their second or third rounder were also involved in that trade. Now, if we were to discuss the Spurgeon Wynn trade...

A Canadian Running Back IMO, there are several ways to make it work. The obvious one would be a capable Canadian backup, but that seems unlikely Or... His backup could be an American who dresses as a DI and returns punts / kicks. If the NI gets injured or needs a breather, one possibility would be a serviceable Canadian receiver who plays special teams and could replace an American receiver if need be. Then the American RB can play.

At least those Thursdays are all in summer...

I think the centre becomes a much bigger factor when you're lining against a dominant DT - eg. Doug Brown

A grade of C+ would be in the high 60's, which is an above average grade.

Barrin Simpson? And the '08 smoke screen...

Too lofty since Perrett wasn't a free agent. I was editing - until then you had no business reading.
