Angel >> Friends who helped you move: >> It was Canada Day and it was the weekend, two very good reasons for kicking back and/or getting wild. Cheers, then, to the dedicated friends who answered your call and helped you lug all your worldly possessions from one over-priced hovel to another for the mere cost of pizza, beer and the occasional grumbling of, "Man, you've got a lot of shit!" Remember, no bogus excuses next year when it's your turn to help them move.

Insect >> Police states Justice Minister Anne McLellan: >> along with Solicitor-General Lawrence MacAuley, has proposed a law that could bring Canada one step closer to being the police state it seems the two might fancy. The law would allow police to commit "reasonable and proportional" criminal acts during investigations. Save for sexual offences, murder and manslaughter, the cops would apparently have carte blanche to run amok for the so-called "greater good." Didn't Mom once tell us something about two wrongs?
