    Three Brazilian Pan Am athletes wanted for alleged sex assaults in TO

    Assaults happened at the end of the PanAm games. Three of them? Just a coincidence? * Andrey Da Silva Ventura, a goalkeeper with Brazil’s national team, is now wanted on a Canada-wide warrant for sexual assault. * Lucas Domingues Piazon, a forward with Chelsea F.C., is wanted on an...

    Video of Toronto Police acting like thugs

    "Big Brother is watching you" You say that like it's a bad thing! :) Actually, this is the new reality: Big Brother is watching us, but now we could also be watching Big Brother. It is just a matter of using that cellphone in your pocket.

    Video of Toronto Police acting like thugs

    Mmmh, you are not reading what I'm posting. "Ultimately, video is keeping everybody honest". And I mean, EVERYBODY (big emphasis on “everybody”) . Video is there for the protection of the cops too. If a suspect resists arrest, or attacks the cops, then we can look at the video, and it will...

    Video of Toronto Police acting like thugs

    I would feel MUCH better knowing that there is video of my arrest. What if the cops taser'd me for fun, and there was NO video? Ultimately, video is keeping everybody honest.

    Video of Toronto Police acting like thugs

    Sorry, I am not clear on the rights of the suspect (person placed under arrest). In other words, what are you talking about? Do you think he has an expectation of privacy?

    Video of Toronto Police acting like thugs

    2 cents: The reason why the guy was recording video is not important. Maybe he had curiosity, maybe he wanted to capture an independent account of what was happening in his neighborhood. It doesn't matter, the activity is within his rights. The oddity here is that the two officers tried to...

    Video of Toronto Police acting like thugs

    Toronto Police don't like video. The question to ask the Chief (and the Mayor) is, why? Anything to hide?

    Free, Any takers???

    I have no interest in the suitcase itself, but I want to be there when the contents are revealed. I'll make sure to have a camcorder in my hand. Heck, I could even make this into a YouTube documentary.

    MotoGP 2015

    Rossi made a mistake. But still, he was right on the money. Does that make sense? He was wrong. But he was right. Marc Marquez has a lot of growing up to do.

    Const. James Forcillo shot Sammy Yatim - the trial

    You are correct. However, if you are drunk or high, it does not give anyone the right to kill you. Especially not the cops, who are supposed to have training. This is a tricky situation, and I don't know what "justice" would actually look like (at the end of the trial).

    Const. James Forcillo shot Sammy Yatim - the trial

    "The Crown must now prove that Const. Forcillo had the intention of killing Mr. Yatim and that he did not have any reasonable grounds to fear for his own life." At the beginning, I don't think the cop had an intention to kill him. The constable just responded to the call, like many other cops...

    Const. James Forcillo shot Sammy Yatim - the trial

    So... the video from inside the streetcar was posted online, with sound. The Star has a split screen (of two cameras in the streetcar). http://www.thestar.com/news/crime/2015/10/22/youtube-videos-of-shooting-played-at-sammy-yatim-murder-trial.html I still wonder what Forcillo was thinking...

    Buying House without a realtor?

    Becoming a real state agent just to sell your house? No way man! That is like registering with OMVIC as a car dealer, just to sell your used bike. I wrote that a person must be rich in order to afford a realtor. I am half joking, but the truth is, realtor are expensive. The internet...

    Buying House without a realtor?

    How can you guys afford realtors? You must be rich. This is a no brainer, you just need a lawyer, and hire other professionals as needed (appraiser, house inspector, etc). It is funny that the original questions was "Buying House without a realtor?". But it just turned into people...

    Corrosion Free rustproofing?

    I look into this topic last year when I got a new Mazda. My own conclusion was, DIY is too much hassle, just let them apply it (I went with Krown, mostly because they are close to me). My other observation after the first application: I don't think I will be doing the treatment every year. It...

    VW deisel?? wtf...

    This is the billion dollar problem for VW. I do not think there is a practical way to fix 11 million cars. It is going to cost them billions to deal with this issue. Owners (at least in the USA and Canada) may be eventually caught in a bad situation (example, must fix the car at the next...
