Re #4 – There’s a lot of high profile violence in these small towns lately. Since it’s not Toronto and there’s nowhere to deport the shooters, I wonder what knee-jerk reaction old Canada will have to this wave of violence? Or will this pattern be swept under the rug like the Meth epidemic?
Re: #1 — You would know this growing up in a small Ontario town but it never hurts to point out a reminder.

Re: #4 — Globe | Mother, daughter shot dead; sister badly wounded in Ontario: After having robbed a beer store and crashed a stolen truck, bad boy Dean Brown should have been locked up someplace where he couldn’t hurt anyone, but apparently small towns suffer because of our liberal justice system as much as the center of the universe does. Further, why is Matt and Joe’s Nightclub in Belleville serving underage bad boys, and what kind of slack liberal parenting allows juvenile delinquents to stay out all night drinking and wrecking havoc in the first place? Obviously bad boy Dean Brown’s father didn’t slap him upside the head often enough when he acted up as a child, so it’s long past time for a return to corporal punishment at home and in school, and whenever liberal types object to instilling proper discipline in children before they get out of control, slap them upside the head.
Hate to to tell ya, Brian, but some people were lousy parents even before Trudeau started giving out civil rights.
Also, sometimes Dean Brown acts up because ALL Daddy does is smack him upside the head.
