By rights, the investigation into the shooting of Mr. St. Arnaud should be re-opened. It won't be, but it should...

Were the officers assigned to investigate the circumstances of the police shooting of Kevin St. Arnaud in Vanderhoof, B.C., five years ago just incompetent, or did they deliberately bungle the job to help protect a fellow officer?

So, are the police criminals for covering up crime, or hopelessly incompetent at performing any investigations?

Ignatieff to PM on rising deficit: 'How much more?' - Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff called on the Conservative government Thursday to reveal just how much higher the federal deficit will climb this fiscal year. [CBC Canada]

I'm sorry, Mr Ignatieff, but Prime Minister Stephen Harper is the world's worst economist.

How the hell would he know what the deficit will be? He predicted no deficit 8 months ago, then a $35,000,000,000 deficit a mere 5 months ago, then a $50,000,000,000 deficit this week.

Inadequate brakes caused fatal CN derailment: report - A Canadian National train derailment that killed two people near Lillooet, B.C., in 2006 was caused by an inadequate braking system used in the steep mountain canyon, according to a federal report released Thursday. [CBC BC]

I blame this one squarely on Gordon Campbell's corrupt government who said they'd sell BC Rail, lost an election because of it, ran next campaign saying they wouldn't sell BC Rail.

They won that election, then *GAVE* away BC Rail - oh, but we still own *the tracks* - on a lease that can be renewed for nearly a millennium! 990 years!
