Just disgusting. How in the F did the jury acquit!? That's murder.

... and the cops excuse? He smelt "burnt marijuana" and was concerned for the child's welfare. 

Yeah, please protect society from the horrors of pot smoking. Much safer to commit murder and have kid grow up without a dad. 

One of the best of the best.

Good on her for breaking the glass ceiling, even more credit to her for saving us from a potential Mayor Greg Selinger

I dont recall Thompson being a very effective Mayor but I might not be recalling well.  The 90's sucked in this city.  And I was graduating high school so I was less involved in politics.  I just knew it sucked and everyone I knew wanted to move to Alberta. 

I think she took some heat for the Jets leaving (as did Filmon) and neither of them deserved it.  She did bring the Pan Am Games here which was pretty cool especially since there was nothing else going on here.

Yes I don't really recall much, I just know she beat Selinger and that is almost assuredly a good thing considering his reign of error as Premier.

CANADA F*CK YEAH

its interesting they claim very low patient numbers over night because that has not been my experience when going there. I guess I've always had bad timing.

My experience has been the same the few times I've been in there at night.  I guess it might depend on what they mean when they say they "see" one patient an hour on average.  Does that mean that's how many people come through the doors or the rate people are seen by the doctor?  If it's the latter, then that I can believe!

At least she tried to set a standard of quitting after 2 terms. It may still be holding. Furry Murray didnt make 2. Katz was out after 2 full terms after his halfers when Murray quit and if we lucky our wishy-washy new guy is out after 1 but probably in it till he dies.

Thats a good point.  Or one person comes in per hour but by dawn there are 20 patients waiting to be seen.

Id love to know what the doctor does back there to see patients so infrequently.  Because my experience has been you get maybe 5 minutes with a doctor. So I assume has to write up some info in your file.  But even if every patient got one hour with the doc (visit and paper work), that doesn't jive with the reality of waiting several hours to every single ER/Urgent Care in this city.
