It's asked a lot, but I encourage you to speak from your heart Charles. It's one of the few time some of these people get to hear a black voice.

I'm tired of hearing the apologists' mantra that there are only a few bad apples and that most police officers are good, upstanding members of the force, That is patently false, which is proven by the actions or inaction of the so-called good officers.

That's an interesting conversion for a full size truck. The 240 recharging is not at all common so that's a huge problem.

As a former RCMP member, I must agree with you. The Force is struggling to be too many things to too many people.

An equally egregious way that PET stabbed Quebec in the back was his tireless work when no longer in power to sabotage the Meech Lake Accord.

I would agree on the anti-soccer comment if the writer was someone other than Mr. Kelly. His writing is hands down pro-soccer.
