Bosphorus serial murders

2000-2007. The thing about the Bosphorus serial (Döner) murders was that police just considered that Turks killed Turks:

"failure to explore a racist motive and the initial suspicions about the victims' relatives and friends"

and damning the evidence, a proper investigation, witness testimony and or any hints of police members in the National Socialist Underground (NSU) (German: Nationalsozialistischer Untergrund).

They were pals. Accused killer Col. Russell Williams and notorious serial killer Paul Bernardo, both attended the University of Toronto Scarborough campus. They both studied economics at the Military Trail campus in the mid-80s. They both graduated together in 1987, Williams, 46, with a politics and economics degree, Bernardo, 45, with a commerce and economics degree. Their families both lived along the Scarborough bluffs. Now police sources say the two were college “pals” who may have partied together and that their relationship is the subject of intensive scrutiny by the joint forces team probing the murders of Cpl. MarieFrance Comeau and Jessica Lloyd. source

wikipedia: On July 15, 2009, Williams was sworn in as the Wing Commander at Canadian Forces Base Trenton by the outgoing Wing Commander Brigadier General Mike Hood. [30] ... He had flown Queen Elizabeth II and the Duke of Edinburgh, the Governor General of Canada, the Prime Minister of Canada, and many other dignitaries across Canada and overseas in Canadian Forces VIP aircraft.

Bernardo, Homolka (Leanne Bordelais, Karla Leanne Teale), Williams, Magnotta were from Metroplitan Toronto/GTA, Scarborough.

Montreal Gazette (Jan 15, 2015): documentary airs

eric newman, eric clinton kirk newman, luka rocco magnotta (2006), [Renee Bordelais, Hubert Chrétien, Logan Valentini, John Kilbride (Moors murders), Kirk Trammel, Sharon, Catherine] 

shrinks: Thick file (Dec 9, 2014) from late nineties includes a schizophrenia diagnosis: "As a condition for release to Canada, German officials demanded a psychiatrist accompany Luka Magnotta on the June 2012 flight. Dr. Joel Watts, after receiving a request from the Montreal police, took on that role... Watts was but one in a long line of doctors who treated or assessed Magnotta — though he was the only one to meet with the killer in both capacities.... The defence also hired Dr. Marie-Frédérique Allard to assess the defendant’s responsibility in the killing. While both doctors individually spend dozens of hours with Magnotta, he refused to meet with any Crown-retained psychiatrists." Forsenic psychiatrist, Dr. John Bradford, didn't work on the case because of [Bernardo, Homolka, Pickton et al.] PTSD, which he previously didn't believe was a condition (weird, he's a shrink).

WARNING GRAPHIC 

As lucrative as the stripper, escort and gay porn business may be, how did Magnotta get money and passports to travel, from Toronto, to New York, Florida, London, Montreal, to Dr Joel Paris, France and Berlin. In 2007, Magnotta said online rumours about him dating Karla Homolka affected his career, which was "going downhill these days, to be honest with you." He was marked (Joe Warmington interview Toronto Sun, 2007) in Toronto, marked (New York kitten videos, 2011, Magnotta said: client "Manny" Manuel Lopez made him do it and that he didn't know how the videos got online, "Rebecca" owned the python) and marked (Alex West interview, Sun, hotel by Wembly, Dec 2011) in London.

At trial
Magnotta's father: allegations that son had an affair with his wife trial, yikes (Oct 31, 2014)
Magnotta's mother: put children's pet rabbits outside to freeze to death in the winter yikes, seeking help, compulsive hair pulling (Nov 14, 2014)

Four packages of international student Jun Lin were sent to 1) False Creek Elementary School near Olympic Village, 2) St. George's private boys school on the west end (both Vancouver), conservative hq (Albert St, Ottawa, partially opened by Jenni Byrne, issues manager for the prime minister, who notified Nigel Wright, "Neil Fenton" etc) and 4) liberal hq/ intercepted by Canada Post ("You need to speak to Laureen Teskey and her family, lots to hide"). The Crown suggested Lin's murder was à la mode Basic Instinct (straddled, stabbed and an ice pick which was a silver-painted screwdriver).

Charged with first-degree murder and 4 other counts ["Magnotta is charged with first-degree murder, committing an indignity to a human body, publishing obscene material, criminally harassing Prime Minister Stephen Harper and other members of Parliament and mailing obscene and indecent material."] (Dec 9, 2014)

Jenni Byrne dated Ottawa MP Pierre Poillievre (CON: Nepean-Carleton) ("the (other) woman behind Harper"). On May 29, 2012, a foul-smelling package was brought to her by an assistant.

best of 2012

There are too many items from which to choose, so here's a list in the making.

1. Tory press statement at midnight. On Friday. It outdoes any other of its Friday media releases. (announcement: 163 words)
2.  Rob Anders. What does he do? And will he get a pension for it?
3. The beautiful game's match fixing. Canadian Soccer League (CSL): organized crime operating from a bar in Berlin and the advantages of avoiding the spotlight in lower leagues.
4. After imposing puzzling visa requirements for Mexicans (link, link and link) in 2009, the 'Harper' Conservative random expensive flipflop bobblehead changes its mind.
5. Shaw Communications learns a difficult lesson. In case of fire, it may not be a good idea to have a backup system in the same building.
6. Zoos: In Calgary, a penguin laid an egg, a dud, and an elephant miscarried. The Price Is Right guy wants to adopt the elephants (or is that Toronto's? or Edmonton's?), because it's too goddamn cold for elephants. It doesn't count as death, unless you're into zygote, fetus, ... er, ... animalhood.
7. Mall roof collapse in Elliot Lake, Ontario. Heavy Urban Search and Rescue was on scene, a program that incidentally received notice of budget cuts. The mall's owner, Robert Nazarian's lawyer with yipyap. How can a mall just collapse.
8. John Baird, Foreign Affairs Minister: Libya and ... Thomas Jefferson? -- not exactly referring to a Canucki, uh, but, uh, okay, at least Baird's not yelling.
9. Mary and Joseph announce a royal pregancy at Christmas time via morning sickness and what can possibly go wrong.
10. Don't worry. Nobody noticed that the 1812 video has the same name as David Orchard's book. (See #8.)
11. Mike Holmes, parade marshal for the 2009 Calgary Stampede, joins David Suzuki as a radical. ("The world is full of shady contractors who take shortcuts, use shoddy building practices or employ a band-aid approach...." hgtv.com (See #7.)
12. Automated, software journalism gains traction!
13. After amendments to the Local Government Act, BC's Jumbo gets a mayor, councillors. Jumbo has no residents. And Premier Christy Clark just cancels the fall session altogether.
14. Jason Kenney canceled an appearance with Nathan Jacobson, whose company in Tel Aviv, Paygea, processed payments for online gaming and adult websites. John Baird was also Jacobson's buddy and yet another dear friend got a bid. I guess the cosmetics dudes and dudettes went home / home. (Wikileaks Dead Sea minerals thingy, the financing of settlers, West Bank resources, scam&spam locksmiths.)
15. Amanda Michelle Todd is harrassed, extorted to death.
16. Vic Toews: the gun registry costs were either a million or a billion dollars.
17. The PM confounds everyone by announcing domestic policy in Davos, Switzerland (pensions) at the World Economic Forum.
18. Niagara is one of the two and final cultural capitals: $1.625m  for 1812 activities. Canadian officials select California-based Hornblower to provide boat tours, replacing American-owned Maid of the Mist Steamboat Company that operated at the falls since 1846. Calgary, the other, celebrates with an Enbridge, Nexen, Cenovus sort of Feel-the-Energy (get it?) orchestra playing a Russian, anti-Napoleonic 1812 Overture (get it? it's a nifty tie-in).
19. Canada's parliamentary budget officer wonders about the government's economic projections and whether budget cuts are even .... necessary.
20. CKUA gets a new building, then loses the news department.
21. Shell blames the whole Nigerian Delta mess on vandals. 
22. Calgary detective, Gerard Brand, of the "God Squad," gets busted for using the police database to sell Manila Capital Limited names, addresses and phone numbers. (more: rottenapples.info and what the HarryHackl is the Professional Standards Division) 
23. The Great Lakes fruit and blossom catastrophe. The US drought. Isaac, Sandy. Another 1 million bees die. First stage of new sarcophagus at Chernobyl’s nuclear power station. (Don't worry about Fukushima or other nuclear plants!) The Mississippi dries up, salt brine sinkholes out of control.
24. Omnibus B.S. http://local949.blogspot.ca/search/label/budget1812
25. Colorado wildfires. 
26. Assassination attempt on Pauline Marois and the participants at a Parti Québecois victory party: Métropolis. "The English are rising up!'yelled the well-armed man in a bathrobe. (Sept 4) “there’s going to be f------ payback.” One dead, one injured. 
27. It was learned that the fellow who beheaded his seat mate on a Greyhound bus in 2008 did so because it was an alien. (He's schizophrenic.) Apparently a year earlier, Greyhound announced a plan to enhance security, i.e. video, luggage inspections like airports do.
28. The long-gun registry vote. Gun fans cheer. Murder suicides. a) Not long before celebrations (the demise of long gun registry), a young man from Lethbridge tailed his ex-gf on the highway, killing her, the two male friends and injuring another girl, who crawled away and moved back to PEI, the one who made it home for. b) Family of three found in a ditch near St. Walburg, Sask.
29. The No's. The CRTC rejects Bell's $3.4-billion takeover of Astral Media. Bell says, N-o-o-o-! Dammit! we's a'gonna talk to Cabinet. Budget Rent-A-Car receives an order to stop photocopying customers' drivers licences, so it continues to take photocopies. (Also, Budget-Rent-A-Car has a cool appraisal scheme with itself for windshield and ding "repairs.") An Ontario Superior Court judge orders a by-election in Etobicoke Centre where Liberal MP Borys Wrzesnewskyj lost by only 26 votes. Conservative MP/"MP" Ted Opitz to the judge: No, and Supreme Court.
30. The Potato Incident with Calgary Alderman John Mar and 20 of his closest friends & sirens.
31. Machismo? Spanish Minister of Tourism (Balearic Islands, incl. Ibiza, Majorca, Minorca, and Formentera) poses with deer testicles on his head.
32. Oops. Critically endangered leatherback sea turtle nests are destroyed by bulldozers in Trinidad, a popular tourist destination for leatherback sea turtle nests. 
33. Not only does Google charge Project Glass guineau pigs $1,500, but the guineau pigs pay! 
34. Big Ben is re-gifted by the House of Commons Commission to honour the Queen of England's Diamond Jubilee. 
35. Six Italian seismologists and a government official (L'Aquila seven) are sentenced to six years in jail for manslaughter. 
36. Bitchslappin' members of parliament, Greece, on-air debate.  
37. Tom Flanagan waxing idiotic about Canada's founding fathers. (See #10.)
38. In a time of Ozterity, let us... poof! change the name of ... a national museum.
39. John Herrera-Garcia (Jan 19, 1963 - Sept 11, 2012), baptized in honour of American president John F. Kennedy and the eighth son in a family of 11 children, dies after a May 23rd beating and kicking by Neo-nazi 1 (Garrett Elliot Lee Smith), Neo-nazi 2 (Chantelle Tiffany Campbell) and Neo-nazi 3 (Jarod Donald Henry). Update, Jan 25/13 "Last of accused granted bail"
40. Court delays in Alberta lead to sex assault charges dropped. A man charged in the bombing death of a young Innisfail woman was a family friend, her financial advisor and former RCMP.
41. Clark Kent quits newspaper job. 
42. Lost in the harlemhooplas this-1812-cultureCAPwhatnot, CalgaryStampedeNation100 and that-Encanada-Franco-airhead-whatnot is one measly article about Alberta Parks' 80th anniversary, that's all the interwebs wrote. (See #18.)

44. Conrad Black gets a permit. 
45. A Canadian PM goes up north to have private, exclusive lunches with party faithful, supporters only. Another PM had gonads to walk among protestors, kick up some dust. Oh man, ATVs, vroom vroom.
46. Peter Manbridge's Franklin Expedition propaganda tour. 
47. Suicide nets installed at Apple's Foxconn factories.
48. JP Morgan estimates that €15bn of €410bn aid to Greece went into its economy - the rest went to um, creditors. 
49. In August the Province of PC-Alberta cancels funding for Fort Macleod RCMP training centre, several months after a money's-no-object election campaign. The Solicitor General’s website stated one year ago that the “$122 million training centre will play a critical role in ensuring consistent, state-of-the-art recruit training and ongoing professional development for law enforcement, corrections and public security personnel in Alberta.” Oops, the town spent $3.5+ million running service lines in preparation for the facility. How nice it was.



Proposed design for the Alberta Public Safety and
Law Enforcement Training Centre.

Royal Canadian Legion BC Newsletter Publishes Offensive "Indian" Joke," August 16, 2012. 'The joke begins with the two hunters in northern Saskatchewan when “an Indian runs across the field.” The Saskatchewan hunter aims and shoots the aboriginal dead. The Alberta hunter expresses shock, but the Saskatchewan hunter tells him it’s legal in Saskatchewan. Later, the Alberta hunter buys beer and puts it on the roof of his truck when “an Indian runs by, grabs the beer and runs away.” The Alberta hunter then pulls out a pistol and shoots the person dead. He’s later arrested by an RCMP officer who tells him that it’s illegal to use “bait” when shooting “Indians” in Saskatchewan.' full article

flood stories: so, anyway

After that terrible, absurd summer - graduations, finals, work as displaced persons - we moved, again, to another neighborhood, and worked to get our bearings with schools, bus routes, the fostered pets back, furniture, groceries, paid off the extra bills and the rest of it like fucking real estate prices and high rent and the landlord on rent-to-own that wasn't. Life started to feel a bit like camping. After a summer of endless laundry and sorting, salvage, some things I just put away, and have been going through recently.

Next thing you know, about the one year anniversary of our big change, there's shocking city news, family murder-suicide, several blocks away! Well, big fucking brouhaha welcome, let me say, fucking dead fucking kids and mom and tenant journalism student or gory whatever and I'd NEVER be cozily buried beside an SOB who murdered my kids but people are weird and that wasn't a very nice omen, which was followed by shocking national news of a strange decapitation on a Greyhound bus, and it all makes one wonder, is all I can say, what with the mysterious hum.

I would have moved sooner, as rent prices started to fall a bit, but at some point there was some stability to factor in, on account of the schools and kids' friends etc. And look, was that Mike Harris on the Enmax Board of Directors re those ridiculous bills at those all of homes, temporary and otherwise, that summer?

On June 8, 1995 Mike Harris became the twenty-second Premier of Ontario following a landslide election victory. In 1999, he was re-elected — making him the first Ontario Premier in over 30 years to form a second consecutive majority government. source

Oh never mind, there was a shake up there already. Yeah, so the old property flooded again. That makes twice in four years, a river through the front door. The new house flooded, too, just in the basement, several times and 2x over Christmas break in 2009, due to what appeared to be periodic root/sewer problems or somethiing, so we threw things out again, decided to move, just as soon as I recovered from a goddamned nervous water housing breakdown.

That was that. None of us is the same.
