She's a piece of work, you have to wonder to what extent it was her influence that encouraged Bernardo ... and therein is an hard part to civilised due process of law, that without her testimony, secured by a get-off-cheap deal, maybe B couldn't have been locked up where he couldn't hurt anyone ... we're not going to throw out due process, because without it you get rule-by-whim, which experience has taught us doesn't work in our interests ... but, geeez, eh ... Homolka will bear close watching, for life But there's nothing in all that that leads me to the idea of bringing back the noose .... just don't want the state to have such immense power, that it can take the life of its unarmed prisoners ... far cheaper and far less barbaric to lock up appropriate individuals in steel cages till they croak on their own [or are later demonstrated to be innocent, as a number of cases have turned out] ... if/when a mountie taking fire or facing a knife or other weapon shoots some idiot, then he should feel quite justified about it, as he is saving life more than taking it ... but once disarmed and in secure custody, a prisoner should not be deliberately killed, imho ... just like we don't abide trial by combat any more, or witch identification by fire fm.to - your First Quantum is at twenty-five bucks, wooo ... my aur has barely made seven fifty ... looks like you win the contest, unless Africa slips under the ocean one day, or something ... don't know what it is about Aur, maybe they are regarded as too conservative, they've managed well their mines and have cash up the ying-yang, making good money out of the copper run ... just not perceived by Ms Market to have the same future, probably

this is Canada . Where we spend millions protecting the right of the guilty and abandon the victims . this is not quite true but it sure seems close enough. Case in point - Air India- The judge says the witnesses comments are unbelievable (these guys all took lie dector tests ) but the judge makes no comment about the integrity of the accused . If you followed the comments of one of the star witnesses you would hear one of the most believable uncoached testimonies to be delivered in a Canadian court. The accused , hmmmmmm , financial manipulation, weird loans , financial rewards to support of an terrorists wife . Such actions do not make them guilty but how could anyone think what they say is truthful and why would the judge make comments about one sides believability and not the other ? Why did the Judge not declare the convicted terrorist of being a hostile witness? " He bought the bomb parts but is unable to remember who paid him or who got the parts. Kinda stacked things in favour of the accused I think. ralfphers but enough of this lets talk stocks
