One of the most notorious criminals in Canada, Paul Bernardo is now serving a life sentence with no chance of parole for 25 years. He has been designated a dangerous offender, the most extreme classification in Canada’s justice system. 

First known as the Scarborough Rapist, in 1995 he was convicted of the brutal kidnapping, rape and murder of two Ontario teens, Kristen French and Leslie Mahaffy. He and his then-wife Karla Homolka also raped and killed her younger sister. Homolka served a 12 years for manslaughter after striking a plea bargain dubbed a “deal with the devil” for her testimony against Bernardo. 

After 22 years behind bars, Bernardo is applying for day parole.

As we know, Ottawa will soon boast another memorial, a Monument to the Victims of Communism - Canada a Land of Refuge, on Confederation Boulevard.

The memorial will take up a block next to the Supreme Court, but changes to the project announced June 25, 2015 show that the scale of the project has been revised “in keeping with design guidelines established for the site.” It will now occupy 37 per cent of the site, down from 60 per cent, and the overall height has been lowered by half. The changes also improve the accessibility of the site and ensure it is compatible surrounding buildings.

It kills me how some people buy cars.

A few years ago, an elderly family friend in Florida decided she should trade in her car, even though there was nothing wrong with it. She paid the full sticker price for a new version of the same car, and I can’t even imagine what she got for a trade-in on that low mileage, perfectly maintained sedan.

Please don’t do that.
