Some news updates on the day...

Sorbara is back at the Ontario Cabinet table.

The Caledonia barricade is finally coming down. As some may be aware, power to most of the city (I think the entire city) was disrupted due to "vandalism".

"Hydro One spokeswoman Laura Cooke told CTV News that the cause of the outage was clearly vandalism to the local power transformer and it will likely be days before service is fully restored."

Vandals... any idea of who did it? Will the MSM tell us? I have no idea who did it, to be honest; no one is saying. I have my suspicions, and I'd like the MSM to either confirm or refute them. I'd like to hear that charges at least have been laid, or that the police are investigating the crime. Has anyone heard anything on this?

If it was one or two of the natives, I'd like to see them charged. If it was some non-natives... I'd like to see them charged.

I'm betting someone still wants to call me a racist for saying that. No, I would simply like to see the law upheld. If I see some kids knocking over a mailbox, I call it like I see it... I call them a bunch of immature hooligans, and if I've got my cell with me, I'll call the cops on them. And I'll expect them to be charged with mischief... after all, SOMEONE has to pay for the repairs... and I'd prefer it NOT be me via another postage stamp increase! White, black, native, or non, I don't care... and I've done it before. Yes, I've called the cops on a bunch of white kids! Twice even... some punks were having a rumble up the street, and another bunch having a bush party out behind my house. And I called the cops on a couple of Indians (from INDIA folks, not natives) who were beating the heck out of some cabbie in Toronto, for a car accident that was THEIR FAULT. (morons)

Ahem... okay, rant over, and so's the news update. You can return to your regularly scheduled day...

ps - I'm open to commentary! Is there something you see that I've said where we don't see eye to eye? Then say so! I'm always open to learning how others view things... especially regarding native affairs, as I'm a non-native, and often don't understand the nuances of the issues. I can see things from the resident's side of things, so please, feel free to educate me! As always, please keep the language to a "PG" rating.
