A joke for all the blog followers up in Canada:
“You’re walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, a dangerous looking man with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, raises the knife, and charges. You are carrying a Glock 22, and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family.”
What do you do?
Canadian Police Officers
Answer: (Immediate thought processes)
- Is the knife a ceremonial kirpan?
- Does he prefer to communicate in English or French?
- Will this negatively impact my chances of promotion?
- Is this just his way of telling me that he pays my wages, and wants my job?
- Would this be an appropriate time to hug him and sing Koombaya?
- Will the media do a profile of him and how he was loved by everyone including his dog?
- Is the alleged ‘client’ a member of the NDP or an Environmental Group?
- Is he just a squeegee kid / pan handler trying to make a living on the mean streets?
- Is he a member of a gang that is just ‘misunderstood’ by society?
- Is he an undercover Toronto Star reporter looking for a news breaker?
- Is he a recent illegal immigrant to this country, and just doesn’t know how to approach the police?
- Is he recently released on parole and hasn’t been properly integrated back into the community?
- Is he a victim of fetal alcohol syndrome, and just doesn’t understand what he is doing?
- Warn and Charter him as he approaches.

The sad truth. As a Canadian i’m often ashamed of this reality. Though we cannot carry, I wouldn’t hesitate to protect myself or loved ones; just pathetic that we pay such a cost, and give up this freedom.
