Canada's national crime rate fell in 2007 for the third straight year

Less crime could hurt 'law-and-order' Tories at the polls, experts say

OTTAWA — Canada's national crime rate fell in 2007 for the third straight year, with declines in everything from homicides and gun crimes to minor property offences, says a new report.
And some say numbers released Thursday by Statistics Canada could strip some political ammunition away from the Conservative government, which has styled itself as the party that's toughest on crime.
"If crime rates continue to come down, then eventually the level of fear will not rise, but it might actually taper off or stabilize, in which case the usefulness of it as a ballot question for the Conservatives will weaken over time," said Bruce Anderson, president of polling firm Harris-Decima.
Statistics Canada says the seven per cent drop in the national crime rate was led by falling counterfeiting offences and theft under $5,000, including fewer break-ins and stolen cars.
Robbery committed with a firearm declined 12 per cent from the previous year, hitting its lowest point in three decades.
The numbers fly in the face of popular media and political messaging, which portrays crime across Canada as rising in both volume and ferocity.

an email i sent to Microsoft about Barack Obama's name & a spell check error part 1

I am inquiring to see if Microsoft has corrected the rather embarrassing spell check error regarding Barack Obama's name. Apparently, one of the suggestions that appears is Osama or Osama bin Laden. If you haven't fixed the problem, why? Please don't tell me it is an honest mistake as you major email competitors, Google Mail and Yahoo Mail, do not attempt to spell check or associate variations on this proper name. I will be awaiting your response.Thanks

Electrocution is not permissable in this country. Thomas A. Smith Electric Rifles are not appropriate tools for law enforcement. All citizens have a right to due process and that wrongful death by electrocution subverts that right. All citizens are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Law enforcers perform a difficult and judicial task that must be both highly respected and carefully overseen.
