| He was asked to put "the" gun down which he did. The video is not clear but no gun seemed to be pointed at the policeman and he was shot a split second after putting the gun down. |

| Only the Chinese are calling them territorial waters. The ship is 75 miles out and international rules say territorial waters exten out to only 12 miles from shore. Actually, Canada and other countries claim more than 12 miles from shore. Yeah, but usually those claims are ignored anyway. Hell Cana... |

| The big question is what are those people actually buying when they donate such large sums of money to a candidate?

| In stock market terms: American banks are down so gold is up. If the banks bounce back, then gold will go down again. Our banks are in better shape, so from an investment perspective, it would be smart to buy Canadian bank stock. If gold goes down, then it should be bought as well. With both gold an... |
