Stealing Sex Toys and ladies underwear???

CTV News in Canada are reporting what has to be the craziest crime spree of the year in, of all the strange places, New Brunswick.

Someone has been breaking into homes and stealing sex toys and ladies lingerie.

There have been 11 reports so far, and the RCMP believe that some women may be too embarrased to come forward and report thefts from their homes.

Obviously this is someone getting their kicks, but what's the kick? Is it just the act of stealing, or is there some other reason why this thief is going after lingerie and sex toys? But more than that, this is someone who's planning this carefully. So they will not be easy to catch.

Canadian phony Election has begun!

Oh boy!  Here we go!

Literally minutes after Michael Ignatieff, leader of Canada’s Liberal Party, announced that he would no longer support the Conservative minority government on Stephen Harper, Stephen Harper comes out and says that the decision goes against Canada’s interests in this economic downturn.

The phony election campaign has begun, and the government isn’t even out of power yet.  Whilst political instability is never a good thing, you could never call a minority government stable, given the fact it could get voted out at any time.

The fact is Harper’s Conservative government has been behind the curve on economic recovery from day 1 of this global recession, whilst other countries including the US, UK, France and Germany have been ahead of the curve.

Harper has been given too many chances to just limp on.  I’m glad that some decisive action will be taken.  Decisiveness is just what Canada needs right now, in order to catch up with other countries.  But whether that will be best served by Michael Ignatieff, Jack Layton, or a different prime minister is another question altogether.
