Wolves on the Wing

Canadian Prison News!

Corrections Canada is putting out tenders for companies to provide federal inmates with gasoline, oil and fully functional chainsaws for vocational training inside their prisons. I fully support this. After all, what's the worse that could happen?

Luka Magnotta, best known for sending his boyfriend to various different locations (at the same time, and in various states of decomposition) has apparently set up a dating profile to find his prison "prince charming".  Something tells me he's over thinking the search a bit. From what I understand for people like him love finds you!

And in the most baffling move Canada's most infamous inmate Paul Bernardo is applying for what I can only call "Suicide by Parole Board" by requesting day passes to the Toronto area. All I can say is be very careful what you wish for Paul. In case you haven't noticed you're not exactly the most popular person in Scarborough. Heck you're the poster boy for the "Bring back the Noose" crowd in Canada and if you ever got released you might find all of them at your homecoming parade. That whole "Dangerous Offender" status thing just might work against you somehow.

Moving on to when Shakespeare said "Kill all the lawyers" I don't think he was talking literally. I also don't think he meant send pipe bombs to a law office in Winnipeg either. Here's hoping that poor woman recovers quickly and that they get this nutjob off the streets and into chainsaw training where he belongs.

And in the final bit of stupidity whoever is calling in bomb threats to Air Canada and Westjet planes in flight really needs to stop that. We only get about three months where we aren't imprisoned inside our own homes from all the snow on the ground. Smarten up and respect people's right to enjoy their vacation. The only fiery death a Canadian in summer should fear is when they light up the barbeque. Or as we call it, forest fire season.

Stay good and enjoy the Fourth all, if you celebrate it. :-)

1. Serial killer Clifford Olsen dies at age 71.

Good riddance.  Next story.

2.  Angry mob storms hospital in Saskatchewan, attacks RCMP officers, and burns an ambulance.

Who says small town Canada is boring?

3. The US considers putting a giant fence to protect the northern border from Canada.

I can see the homeland security training videos now - "Canadians: The Mongols of North America.".  Hey, at least in a few thousand years it should make a pretty good tourist destination.

CBC: You're the last scheduled Canadian flight into space...

Chris Hadfield: I'm the next scheduled Canadian.
