Students say hazing expulsion 'unfair' http://bit.ly/qFW1rj Toronto Sun
Driving around throwing eggs, then deciding to chase someone with a car and hitting them
There should be charges for driving around and throwing eggs at anyone. Sounds like assault and dangerous driving at least.
Chasing someone on a bike with a car and hitting them, sounds like that would be against the law...
"Oh it's unfair".... Bull Shit ... If I had done this my dad would have taken me to the police station and said keep him locked up. after giving $hit for several hours for having been that stupid.

Animal attractions could be cut http://bit.ly/oXqXRM Toronto Sun
Ford seems to be trying to cut/close any thing that might be educational.

A result of security theatre at the Airport
Some recent news headlines
Some airport screeners have sticky fingers, documents show http://bit.ly/nKa5gp Toronto Sun.
Airport security thefts plague Canadian travellers http://www.torontosun.com/2011/09/13/airport-security-thefts-plague-canadian-travellers Toronto Sun.
Not surprised at this. The rush was to make it look like the government was doing something, they hired at a low pay with minimum screening. This leads to trouble with under screened and under trained personal.
For any security involved job, we need to hire good people at a good wage. Not farming it out to a contractor who hires at a low wage.
They need continuous training as the rules they are to enforce keep changing. They need training on how to deal with people in general. Also have some of them speaking more than English or French would be a good thing too.
They need as good wage, so there is less temptation to steal or work with criminal elements. The vast number of laptops stolen at Airports in Canada and the USA would seem to indicate that there is some cooperation between some security elements at some airports.

Volunteering
Volunteering for the Right Reasons Might Help You Live Longer http://lifehac.kr/q65W79 Life Hacker
I have enjoyed volunteering over the years. Currently serving as Vice-President for the Clearwater Beach Ratepayers Association. One day a year it is a fast paced running around trying to solve/prevent problems but smiles on the faces of the members of the association make it worth while.
The rest of the year, it is meeting and working with other toward a common goal.

Living in Montreal, does mean that getting back to the Beach for meetings is a bit of a pain, but it means I get to see a lot of old friends and new friends too. Working with the association helps me keep connection to our cottage where I have been going since I was born. Keeping in contact with those I have known since I was born or they were born.
All in all the members of the Clearwater Beach Ratepayers Association are a great group of people that I enjoy being around.
Part of my involvement is paying it back to the Association, for the many Fun Day’s when I was young on the beach.
Volunteer it is a great way to get in touch with your community. An it might be good for you too.

This will be a nightmare for Businesses rolling back to the old system.
It was a pain making the changes for Ontario and B.C. Undoing just BC will be a pain. Reissuing all of the PST exemption's will take a lot of work for the companies and the goverment.
