In a letter to the sentencing judge the son had this to say about his father,
QUOTE
“I know that he did not commit any crimes or plan to. I feel that an injustice has been done. My father is a man of honesty and kindness, he wouldn’t attempt to hurt any one or even think about it.
Yes, he has views, like so many people, but his views were just that and nothing more.
Most importantly, he wanted us to be good children and then grow up to be better adults,” he wrote. “I will forever hold his lessons in my heart, and I thank god every day for the father I have."

Dr. working as a child-abuse Pediatrician finds girl has various healing wounds on her legs and buttocks, he didn’t think that they were consistent with child abuse. Abused girl was murdered 16 days later.
The Doctor involved was working for the county at the time. The county’s insurance provider will make the payout. The Dr. is off the hook and now works for Lurie Children’s Hospital. His life simply goes on like nothing happened.

Chicago Paramedics discovered the girl’s dead body in July 2013 when they were called to the home for reports of a child not breathing.
Upon their arrival, Helen Ford tried to send the paramedics away, saying Gizzell had been having one of her ‘fits’ but had recovered.
The EMTs pushed their way in and found the child lying lifeless, tied next to her father’s bed. The body was face down on a bloody pillow, wearing just a pair of ripped green underwear. Her father was lying on the bed in his underwear and holding a laptop.

How to receive a $25 Loblaw card after bread price-fixing arrangement
Loblaw Companies Ltd. is offering customers a $25 gift card as a goodwill gesture after admitting the company participated in an industry-wide bread price-fixing arrangement.
"This conduct should never have happened," said Galen G. Weston, CEO, during a conference call with analysts Tuesday.
"The gift card is a direct acknowledgment of that to our customers. We hope that they'll see it as a meaningful amount that demonstrates our commitment to keeping their trust and confidence," he said in response to how the company arrived at the card's $25 value.
Here's how to redeem the offer:
Customers can visit https://loblawcard.ca/ and enter their email address to be notified once registration opens.
The company expects registration to begin on Jan. 8.
Full details will follow, but broadly speaking, visitors to the site will have to declare that they are the age of majority or older, said spokesman Kevin Groh, in an email.
The age of majority is 18 in Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, P.E.I., Quebec and Saskatchewan. It is 19 in B.C., New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and the three territories.
They will also have to declare that they bought certain packaged bread products at one of the eligible banner stores in Canada before March 1, 2015, he said.
Registration closes May 8.

Wow, that pretty much defies sensibilities. 
.....
Even after dealing as a young student nurse in the 80s the removable “private parts”of both gender of mannequins to practice doing peri care (aka cleaning for those unable to do self care).
Did appreciate the comments :rofl:

Not really sure where to put this.
Video: Citizen 'reporter' Rhoda Young is live on the scene and in charge at a house fire. If you watch all the way through, it's worth every minute of your time. Gets surprisingly good at the end.

"Why You'll Never See A Paramedic Running, Even In A Dire Emergency."
https://www.forbes.com/sites/quora/2017/12/26/why-youll-never-see-a-paramedic-running-even-in-a-dire-emergency/#74b104c91ecc
Gives eight very sensible reasons why not to run. I could probably add a couple more.
But, it then goes on to say, "The only real reason to run is that people would stop assuming a lack of urgency/concern when we merely walk briskly towards them."
Which is why I used to run.

Incredible! Just incredible having to put up with something like that. Imagine.
The guy should move to a place where this never happens. I could suggest places like Quebec City, St-John's or Fredericton, and many others.

I honestly think that, as the population of Canada ages (and urbanizes) and includes more and more immigrants from warm countries, we are collectively becoming more and more stupid about living in a country where it snows, and has always snowed, in winter.
I also have to say that the News Media constant harping on what I like to call "What-if-ism" as news doesn't help: What I mean by that is their constant reporting that "things could have been worse if the facts had been slightly different". Well, they weren't different and it wasn't worse, so get off already!
