I was extremely happy, excited, uplifted by the new legislation banning assault rifles. I could not really understand negative responses.

I wonder if the "decal" maker will be charged for aiding and abetting a crime? Does it bring up the possibility that he wasn't working alone?The RCMP released a bunch of information on the investigation. Among other details, only one of his 4 guns was obtained in Canada and the decals for the fake police car were made on the sly by an employee of the place that made them and the owner didn't know.

Still wondering about the RCMP officers that shot into an empty Fire Hall.
Just imagine how long this could have gone on if not for him.I would like to hear more about the officer who shot him. I am amazed how he judged the situation and reacted right, despite the shooter using a car that was not known to the police and having changed into plain clothes.
So investigative reporting by MacLeans is a conspiracy theory? You could say, there may be holes in the story, instead. Of course it's going to be disputed by the Mounties. Their word against the reporter's, true or not.Update. Some arguments against McLeans conspiracy theory of him having been an informant.
Honestly, having read McLeans for a while, I would not give them that high mark. The style tends to be quite sensational. I would compare it to “Der Stern” - a German magazine which has similar style and long history and once in a while discovers something of importance but also has had its share of reporters making up things for the sake of sensation. It sources are frequently “ unnamed”, that should raise some red flags.one of our oldest most reputable news magazines
Fair enough, that's your opinion. They rate consistently high in the fact checking department. Real journalists do not have to reveal their sources and sources ask to be unnamed if it could put their life on the line or attract unwanted attention. It doesn't mean they are making stuff up. Sometimes they interview criminals to get story leads and the only way they can get the story is through a confidential source. Or, they interview other unnamed sources who are decent people whose lives could be ruined if their names were exposed.Honestly, having read McLeans for a while, I would not give them that high mark.

I disagree quite strongly with this statement. I consider the CBC an oasis of sanity in a sea of profit-driven media confusion. Now, if I were in the U.K., I could enjoy the BBC, which has a similar, although stronger, influence there.
