http://greenigraphics.blogspot.com/2012/01/turcotte.html

You probably know the story if you live elsewhere in Canada and you read out of province news. Anywhere else, I doubt it. So here’s a recap:. That’s the story. He was tried and found not criminally responsible for his actions. (They don’t use “insanity” here). There was an uproar. People are outraged. There is an appeal pending. Sure Ok. No problem. For him. Sure. And the crown att...What ...

Sunday, June 5, 2011. Never Talk To Strangers? The woman was African and looked African – very dark. She was from The Ivory Coast, “Eevory Coast” she pronounced it.

I wandered around l...

I can’t remember the name of the gentleman whose personal injury claim was being handled by my colleague DG. “His kids have been apprehended,” he told me. “I’ll refer him to you.”. This was routine stuff, I’d get details of the case from the crown’s office, I’d meet with the client, and we would work out a strategy, perhaps agree to a temporary order or a permanent orde...A day before th...

Our Dog Park: Fight! Fight!
http://ourdogpark.blogspot.com/2011/03/fight-fight.html
An examination of life from inside the fence of the local dog park. Saturday, March 26, 2011. This story comes from two sources: a witness and a participant. I didn't witness it first-hand. I love hanging out at the dog park because it's usually such a laid-back place. The atmosphere ranges from tranquil to boisterous good fun, and so far, thank goodness, I haven't had a bad experience. I haven't even witnessed one. But they do happen. He chose the wrong dude to pick a fight with," I said. "This is R...
