  1. No comparing Muzzo to this guy. I feel for the families obviously but also the truck driver, he's conducted himself with class throughout what is obviously a horrible experience. And yup, I've made driving errors, but I was lucky...

  2. According to Canadian Motor Vehicle Traffic Collision Statistics, 2016: 1. In 2016, the number of motor vehicle fatalities in Canada was 1,898, up 2% from 2015 (1,860). 2. In 2016, there were 10,322 serious injuries due to motor vehicle collisions in Canada, down 4% from 2015 (10,748). https://www.cacp.ca/index.html?asst_id=1626 The driver stated the reason he missed the sign, and the warnings, was one of the tarps on his load was flapping and he was concerned it would cause a hazard to oncoming traffic, - he had not received training on proper tarping processes He was a new driver, driving a set of trains (been to a boat launch lately?); No sentence will bear what he brings upon himself. And yet, if it were my child, I know I would find any sentence inadequate. I do not believe there is any justice for anyone in this situation. It is simply tragic. Listen to this for the view from the other side. What is it they say about not judging until you have walked a mile? https://www.cbc.ca/radio/outintheopen/doing-justice-1.5037668 And I have managed a driver who killed someone. She ran a yellow; he timed the green. I saw her two years after the fact. She was emotionally ruined, her livelihood gone. Her sorrow beyond measure. "Rick, every time I hear a siren, I see it again. I wake up in the night, screaming, at the sight" And yes, I too bear that burden and have spent the last 18 years in my profession making sure I will never have to again. If you think that a jail sentence is justice.

  5. I'm all for deportation laws, but I don't really see the reasoning for it in this case. I understand that it's a deportation law which comes into affect as a result of the 10 year jail term, not a part of the original sentencing from the judge. Should be a lot of people deported before this guy if you ask me. Gotta remember, he's gotta live with this forever as do the families. No one wins here.

  8. i see it as a dumping problem with little to do with fishing looks like 10 lbs not 100 and from my point of view the guys is dumping garbag, it has little to do with fishing, if he had a bag of dirty diapers he would throw that out too would the guy that found it call the children's aid over it if he through out old basket balls would the guy that found it call the NBA, no cause it is a littering dumping problem not a basketball problem

  9. I used to golf lots. I still do, but I used to too. I think I'd take Hank on both ends of fins and skins.
