Darrel Night was dropped off on the outskirts of Saskatoon but was able to survive. The two officers involved were convicted of unlawful confinement in September 2001 and sentenced to eight months in prison.

You know, the kind of people who do this sort of thing for fun don't seem like very nice people and maybe they should be punished a bit harder for this?

Plowing through the ever-growing pile of case law on sentencing to come up with a punishment that won't be overturned on appeal has to be the worst job.

The problem wasn't with sentencing, it's that no one had the guts (or cared enough about non-whites, really) to charge them with attempted murder or even investigate them for other incidents that did end up in death.

The figure exists, but it wasn't used in this context.

quote:

According to a report in the Huffington Post, one option developed by the NCC would transform 24 Sussex into a working residence, similar to the White House, with offices for staff from the prime minister’s office and privy council office. That would cost $150 million, the website reported.

The NCC wouldn’t comment on that report Tuesday. But the commission’s advisory committee on official residences brainstormed ideas for 24 Sussex and other official residences last year, and the idea of a “White House North” wasn’t among them.

And no one approached by the Citizen — including Segal and Derek Burney, both former chiefs of staff to Brian Mulroney — had ever heard of a White House North plan.

A proposal was submitted to turn 24 Sussex into a completely different kind of building, and one of the suggestions from someone during a brainstorming session was to turn it into a Canadian White House. But clearly that means that liberals have run amok.

What a braindead loving hack.

They aren't asking for raises, they're asking to not have their fees cut by 2.6% and again by another 1.3% in one year.

Net zero raises aren't increases to funding, they are cannibalizing their own budget to pay staff more.

Agreed, highly skilled professionals are the problem and we should all be busted down to the lowest common denominator. The general practicioner from Toronto working out in $insular_town for 110k or the permanently on-call 30-something EM grads who can't have families or their own lives are living fat off the hog and we need to put them in their place.

I know you know this, but there are actual reasons doctors make six figure salaries. It's a lovely job that consumes your life and means you'll be spending the prime years of your life (and then some) in school, and you always take your work home. In general I have no problems with actual government professionals like engineers, teachers, and doctors making 200k+ even - better them than the "administrators" and "managers" and various political mucky muck jobs that seem to get these sorts of salaries instead.

Trust me, you can tell the doctors who go into it for the money. Most depressed/angry people alive.

e: maybe i'm super sensitive about this cause it's my family career and in NS being a doctor is generally a raw loving deal. if you're one of the specialties that's "politically expendable" (think anything involving people under 55, mental health) god help you
