What I like most about Canada is Harper and the police can act with virtual impunity once an order is given to crack heads. Look how neatly they dealt with you and other subjects of the Queen at the G20 summit. Don't forget once we give our goons permission to attack their specialized training takes over. Just be a big wimp and roll over and take it. Canada has zero effective government opposition and Harper will be in power for the next twenty years. We're sending 400 brave warriors to Libya right now and if our leaky British frigadoes floats we will score some brownie points from the yanks.

Carts one of dirtiest places in grocery store, study says Researchers say they actually found more fecal bacteria on grocery cart handles than you would typically find in a bathroom. By Paul Vernon, AP Researchers say they actually found more fecal bacteria on grocery cart handles than you would typically find in a bathroom. (and you want me to put my grocery bags in the cart ?) By Heather VanNest WTSP-TV, Tampa-St. Petersburg, Fla. A University of Arizona researcher says you may want to grab one of those disinfectant wipes right before you grab a grocery cart. Professor Charles Gerba, the lead researcher, swabbed the handles of 85 carts in four states for bacterial contamination. Gerba says 72% of the carts had a positive marker for fecal bacteria. When they examined some of the samples, they found Escherichia coli, also known as E. coli, on half of them. Researchers say they actually found more fecal bacteria on grocery cart handles than you would typically find in a bathroom, mainly because bathrooms are disinfected more often than shopping carts. Since most stores do not routinely wash and disinfect their carts, it's up to you to do it. Scientists say this study helps explain why earlier investigations found kids who touch the handles, are more likely than others, to get infected with bacteria like salmonella. Gerba also says you should pay attention to what you put in reusable shopping bags. Make sure your meats and veggies are wrapped because bags that are not washed on a regular basis can become a what he called a "bacterial swamp." Copyright 2011 The Associated Press.
