The first successful heart transplant to leave the hospital.
The sentencing of a confessed multiple killer in Canada today is a serious matter. Gone is the equal value of life that criminal sanctions for 1st degree murder protected. The Harper government opened up an age old resource in 2010 when it allowed for popular reasons to be used in the penalties used in dealing with once capital crimes. Gone is the life sentence as defined as 25 years in jail with faint hope at 15, and with a life time of being on supervision. The jail release could be challenged by a ” Dangerous Offender” motion brought by someone to continue detention in jail beyond the 25 years.
Hardened criminals and hardened corrections…
The incentive for escape with its public jeopardy is multiplied greatly along with more hardened correction people, harder public and a jeopardy for parts of the public to be hardened by believing that justice is in part according to ethnicity good or bad.
Hope…
Hope is going to be with convicted one way or another wether its placed in escape revenge or some other vehicle humans can’t exist without it. Look at the example of Stephen Harper for misplaced hope.
An internal study by the Justice Department, never made public, praised Canada’s so-called “faint hope” clause for murderers even as the Harper government pressed for – and won – its elimination. The controversial clause, which allowed first- and second-degree murderers to request an early parole hearing after serving 15 years in prison, was repealed just two days before the federal election was called. The repeal was opposed by the New Democrats and Bloc Québécois, but passed with the support of the Liberals after a difficult journey through committees of the Senate and House of Commons.
The man who paroqued parliament to steer Canada away from confidence in government to a emulation of the American system of fixed election dates. Is this another emulation of American style of desperate incarceration and hardened criminal manufacture by the system. Even the controversial Trump as done some reforms lately. Has Canadian justice turned to gambler effect balancing judgements off with other case popular sentencing of token minorities like gay or female, or oil producing rooted ethnics?
Aggravation
The question of how to deal with aggravation remains unanswered consecutive sentencing deals with more then one killing, how to deal with heinous single acts on one person, can the public stomach torture and faint hope or 25 years. YOU BE THE JUDGE!

The month of January is shaping up good for sky watchers. One event is a full moon on the 20th – 21st with a lunar eclipse.
Totality, or total coverage of the moon, will begin at 11:41 p.m. ET on January 20 (4:41 UT on January 21) and will last for 62 minutes. The entire 3.5-hour event—including partial eclipses before and after totality—will be visible from the Americas, Greenland, Iceland, western Europe, and western Africa. Sky-watchers in eastern Europe and eastern Africa will witness only the partial eclipse, while people in most of Asia will not see any part of the sky show.

I am one of Green Marine’s three project managers. We collaborate on all of our projects, but I primarily focus on underwater noise issues, community relations as it relates to environmental sustainability and waste management. For example, this year I am working on an initiative to improve waste management at ports and terminals. We hope to reduce waste by motivating employees to reuse and recycle items, as well as properly dispose of organic matter.

A one term president and the son of a US Senator Bush 41 passed from this life at the age of 94, still in good humour and without malice. The last of the
Veteran
George Herbert Walker Bush is to be the last of the World War Two US presidents and his passing will solemnity that era in the sense of history as written now is less likely to be changes as it is viewed from the view of the US Commander’s in Chief to follow. The last living witness from that chair is gone.
Dynasty
Bush 41 was the son of a US Senator he is remembered as 41 because his son and namesake served two terms as the 43rd US president. Another son Jeb served as the governor of Florida and was a candidate for the Republican nomination in 2016.
Record
George Bush senior in his 4 years made a smooth world wide transition for the states of the former Soviet Union after the end of the Cold war including the reunification of west and east Germany. Working with Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney he was responsible for the Free Trade agreement that regulated up to 2 billion dollars in trade between the two countries for more that 2 decades. Bush also got a large coalition together and enforced a United Nations resolution to expel the aggressive occupation of Kuwait from the forces of Iraq’s dictator, Sad am Hussain .
LA. Riots
The 1992 race riots in Los Angeles sparked by an incident of a police beating of Rodney King left a stain on his term. Sixty three deaths and more than 2 thousand injuries were the result of arson, looting and vandalism. The six day mayhem ended with military intervention. Rodney King won over 3 million dollars in civic damages and died two months after he published his memoirs. The King beating and subduing was captured on a 12 minute video by George Holiday and became a bellwether for video access to police activities. Bush completed his term January 20th 1993 after the office was won by democratic candidate Bill Clinton.
