This is a bit of a grisly post

Oh Canada... Canada Canada Canada...

Canada, is generally known as a peaceful country. It's a fact that our evening news cast rarely has talk of deaths unless they were accidental. We rarely hear the word gruesome or murder.
We have some sponsors that come from the US that are so fascinated by our news casts - no drive by shootings, no murders, they were literally talking about funny dog tricks! Sometimes they ask me - I want to walk around the inner harbour tonight after work (around 6pm), is that safe? Um... yah? You could walk around there at midnight - still safe.
So now, when there is a murder in Canada - to be honest - we go big - or we go home.
Exhibit A: This guy in Edmonton wants to kill his common-law wife. He decides to BLOW THE HOUSE UP. So he sets up the bomb to go off but, he doesn't make it out of the house in time. So he kills himself, his wife, and three innocent neighbours. Totally blew up the house - actually creating a crater, and damaging 15 houses around him.
Exhibit B: Robert Pickton. This is our Canadian serial killer / pig farmer. He confessed to killing 49 women, and was very disappointed he got caught because he wanted to kill 50. The next part I am going to copy and paste because I don't want to type it out - its that bad.
Here--> "On March 10, 2004, it was revealed that human flesh may have been ground up and mixed with pork from the farm. This pork was never distributed commercially, but was handed out to friends and visitors of the farm. Another claim made is that he fed the bodies directly to his pigs" If you need to know more, click the Exhibit link (on any story).
Exhibit C: Kimberly Proctor. She was a young high school student who was going to a party and was beaten, raped, stabbed, and burned. She was actually burned so bad that police didn't know it was a human.
Exhibit D: Reena Virk. I'm actually reading the book Under the Bridge right now that is based on her life and death - Reese Witherspoon is also producing a movie on the book. So this girl was kind of an outcast. Went to a party - there she was ganged up on by 7 girls and a boy who beat her under the bridge (literally about a 5 minute drive from my home). She was able to walk away - but a couple of them followed her - one of them was Kelly Ellard - she was one sick puppy. She still shows zero remorse for what she has done. Anyway, they followed her, beat her some more - dragged her back under the bridge and drown her.
Exhibit E: And finally - Vincent Li. This guy was on the Greyhound bus with a boy named Tim McLean. Li here's voices that McLean is evil - so he switches seats and sits next to McLean. He then took out a "rambo type knife" and stabbed him repeatedly. Everyone ran out of the bus and locked Li and McLean inside.Li then cut up McLean and ate some of him.
I'm sorry for this gruesome post. I just think it's so crazy.




It always amazes me when Canadian news makes it to US stations. I remember seeing the Robert Pickton trial on some US news station and was shocked! And then it was also mentioned on CSI. Too cool!
