VANCOUVER, British Columbia — The more Canadian police dig underneath a pig
farm east of Vancouver, British Columbia (search), the more death they
unearth.
Over the past two years, police have discovered the partial remains of 31
women, making it the country's worst serial killer case.
"This is supposedly the good and peaceable kingdom ... Canada," said
criminologist/sociologist Bob Ratner. "It's getting increasingly difficult
to think of Canada as some kind of sanctuary from those crimes."
Farm owner Robert Willy Pickton (search) faces 22 counts of murder so far.
His alleged victims are all prostitutes from downtown Vancouver's east
side.
The details of the murders are unbelievably gruesome. Police found human
body parts in freezers used to store unsold meat. They also discovered
remains in a wood chipper (search) — the victims' bodies turned into pig
feed. But most Canadians don't know any of this horrifying evidence because
the country's media has been barred from reporting it.
"Canadians are trying to protect the integrity of the criminal justice
system, protect people's reputation against encroachment, against jury
taint," said Mary Lynn Young, an assistant journalism professor at the
University of British Columbia (search).
But experts warn that Canada's coverage ban has a dangerous flip side —
shielding the public from the details of the case also protects the police
from critical scrutiny and has the public wondering why it took so long for
the women to be found.
It's also alowing the people to live in false security. Where there's one
serial killer, there'll be more.

Yes but apparently he slaughtered without the gun.
Hey, "Carl", want to bet Pickton could not have g
otten away with so any if he'd used a gun? As far as I can tell, no
predatory human
has managed to break double digits with a gun before getting caught.

The USA has no more crime because we all carry guns. I have a gun
hidden in my shower in case one of those home invasions happen. I
sleep with another gun in case someone breaks in to my house at
night. I keep another gun in my glove box and one taped to the
inside of my trunk.
My ankle holster comes in handy when I'm on the golf course and I
hide another one up at the Lodge.
It's the only way to be safe these days.
America is free, unlike other places like Canada that have soaring
crime rates and opressive governments who can arrest and detain you
without cause or a lawyer.

I want to get rid of this stupid gun registry too. Problem is that you
are not helping the cause by telling us you are great and we are
oppressed.
Our president was actually the one our people elected.
We don't go around deporting your citizens to Syria to be tortured.
We do not go around starting wars on false information and as much as I
despise our old El-Presidenta, he did not get suckered by you into going
to war to find the WMD that were never there.
Which country are you posting from?
I can only assume that this is a joke posting.
Or a satire. Or a satirical troll.
bwuaaahhh haaaahaaaaa haaaa!!! You think you're free, yet you feel you must
carry a gun around with you at all times, just in case you have to kill
someone in self defence.
You don't know what freedom is!!
paul
To quote a great many who reply to such paranoid crap, "
BWAAAAAAHAHAHAHA!"
Soaring crime rates in Canada? " BWAAAAAAHAHAHAHA!"
There, that feels much better.

It will be Interesting to see where your statistic's come from.
Even the rights read to you indicate your are going to be screwed. " the
rigt to be silent: Anything you say "will be used AGAINST you"
Talk about soaring crime rates: How many crimes per second occur in the
good old U.S of A.
People in your country spend years in court just waiting to be charged.
Even if you are found inocent, you can still be sued in civil court. The
severity of the crime depends which State you are in. A crime is if you
(commit a crime) and move to another state.
There are other areas of your anatomy you kind hide your gun.
Since when did Canada have a President ;~))

Same is true in Canada.
Obviously you're not up to speed on current Canadian Law.

Well according to recent stats, that "soaring crime rate" is "soaring" in a
negative way...
> People in your country spend years in court just waiting to be charged.
They do ?
That's funny.
People get released EVERY DAY on their own recognizanve or on bail.
Funny.thing, it's also the way it works in Canada.
> Even if you are found inocent, you can still be sued in civil court.
Same can happen is Canada.
Being cleared of a criminal charge is no garantee that you won't face a
civil suit.

???
This is supposed to mean something ?

Only if one is a humoungous asshole like you...

Actually, more people voted for Gore than Bush. More members of the

Yes, but unlike when the Vietnamese kicked the loving shit out of the
French at Dien Bien Phu the Afghans and Iraqis are only making a
nuisance of themselves after being beaten.
I guess you know about all there is to know about being beaten. Eh!

Go back in colonial history and you will find the same words spoken
against the American, Palestinian, Egyptians and other patriots
opposed to the any invadind imperialists.
>I guess you know about all there is to know about being beaten. Eh!
I know as much as I could lay my hands on. I have always opposed all
colonialism and imperialism without distinction. Which include
English Canada's midget imperialist...
While on the subject of knowing "about being beaten". The British,
French, Dutch, German and other imperialisms sit at the bottom of the
garbage pail of History where they should never have left. You fail
to be imaginative on that one, being left drifting as a colonial
orphan !

Mort, are you an American? You seem to have some myths in your head.
California has about 10% of the US population and has about 10% of the votes
in the Electoral College. That's not disingenuous that's a fact. It is
also a fact that more voters voter for Gore than Bush and yet Bush won.
That's not true democracy.
But not the way the U.S. system is structured; besides, the U.S. is
not a democracy; it's a republic.

Hopefully that also includes the separatists colonialism and imperialism
against the Quebecious anglos and allophones.
Because they, like just about everyone in the world, uses the word
incorrectly.
And not to split hairs with what Barry said, but I'm not sure that the US
really qualifies as a full republic either. The people do elect most of
their representatives, which is the definition of a republic, but none of
the executive are chosen directly by the people. The president (head of
state) is chosen by the electoral college (a technicality but still a
reality), and the rest of the executive is chosen by the president and not
elected.
Anyway, hope I haven't bored you too much with this crap.
Mike
Mike, I know I could do some googling, but offhand, do you know if the
French Cabinet are elected or non-elected individuals? Germany? (The
Canadian Head of State is not chosen by the people, either.) Many
"New World" 'so called' democracies, like the U.S., have the 'Head of
State' and 'Head of Government' residing in the same office.

Naive?
probably (at laest their political class)
I'm not sure about Germany, Hartmann might know more about that. You're
right, the Canadian head-of state is unelected as well, and we aren't a
republic either. We're a constitutional monarchy.
Mike
You're quite right that the "head of state" of Canada, the Governor-General
is NOT elected.
On the other hand, the Prime Minister IS an ELECTED member of Parliament.
You boys REALLY should check your facts before you prononce yourselves and
demonstrate such blatant IGNORANCE.

And at least I KNOW how Canada works.

....AND he's right. That must make it hard for you.
That's why hes shouting.
He's hoping that volume will cover the absence of content.
Illiteracy can sometimes be classified as a form of ignorance. I'm
assuming illiteracy on your part because of your difficulty in reading
posts, or, making it up when you don't understand it. Neither Mike or
myself made any comment regarding the P.M., elected or otherwise. And
to have a little fun splitting hairs, Canadians do not get to elect
their prime minister; the party does, as with our present prime
minister.

Oh dear.
You don't think that:
"(The Canadian Head of State is not chosen by the people, either.) "

to split hairs a bit further, the PM has to be elected into the house
and usually is somebody nominated by the party beforehand, so you
might as well call him (or occasionally her) elected. in case where
he resigns or is terminated before the term expires, he is replaced by
somebody who was not elected, just like the US president
