Not quite right there argus. Canadian Consular Services are there to assist a Canadian workiing studying or travelling abroad. That is their mandate and why they exist. Now some services are not offered , but in this case their mandate to ensure you are treated fairly under a country’s laws if you are arrested or detained applies. I think perhaps instead of trying to school us on the news, in light of not knowing it, perhaps it best you go and learn it? Just a thought.

Yes it is. And if they arrest that person they are held to explain what was it that tipped them off, IOW, what was the RS spider sense tingling? Im going to guess you meant 'can't' . If so....yea, was anyone suggesting otherwise?

Not immediately, but once booked in at the station then you can call your lawyer. But at the roadside or whatever? No, you dont get a lawyer call. But you can shut up and not answers any questions, and you can invoke that you want a lawyer in which case they are supposed to stop asking questions

Hes a CDN citizen, with the same rights as you and I and everyone else holding the same passport. So yes...he is Canadian through and through.

Then Harper should say so....but I doubt he thinks this. Why would he ? Its an Egypt/CDN problem and every other report suggest this is a travesty of justice. He'd be the only one. And it would mean he aint none too bright. Sepecious at best May be true, but then again he should be concerned for justice.

I dont, but every single other paper and even the PM of Aus and our own Ambassador has said its a travesty of justice. Ohhhh.....maybe it was a Toronto Star conspiracy too !

Got yours for less than the cost of cracker jack. So if yours was worth less, then ok, cracker jack it is. Foreign Bureau correspondant. What do you want, a green screen in Toronto rep[orting on the Suez Canal? LOL! Wait, you paid less than that for yours so those who piad more can have it. Another poop in the bed. Thats two today

Why would Abbott call the Egyptians about a Canadian citizen? Please tell us how a foreign journalist is supposed to commute every weekday or weekly back to Canada to satisfy those people in Canada who ignorantly use this 'he's been gone ' approach to denigrate their felow citizens? Link please. Good luck with that. By the way, he's Canadian through and through, as much as you are even. Imagine that ! Pure ignorance . Well done ! The PM like the PM of Australia could make a call since they all know the charges are bogus.

Just go read how it came to be and the rest will take care of itself.

Wow, good call be being completely wrong? Ok then good call on your part?

Yes there is. They can satisfy themselves that the muckraker has two accounts...... ...and then boot them off. You do NOT have free speech here. You can be censored at whim for any reason they want.

They wrote a letter. Tony Abbott made a telephone call and got his citizen sent home right away. Yes yes The Star is behind all of this. Blame them Heaven forbid the Sun Globe Nat'l Post and every other daily in the country reports the same thing. But nooooooo its the Star's fault.

Way to crap the bed. Posting without knowing one single thing about the situation. LOL

Such a dumb statement especially in light of the Charter link youve been given twice now. For the record, we respect everyones right as codified, whether born here, visiting or not. Not to mention torture is a horribly unreliable way to get info.

You are all so hopped up on venom one doesnt know what to think. But hey, you go ahead with what you wrote. Good luck with that. Get bail money ready. Not how it works. If RS is there, they can search. ie...smell pot in a car and the like. Detainment does occur on suspicion

Phew...ok then . You have sources. Well thats good enough for me.

And you would know this how? Some come, many...?...doubtful

They move a contract they HAVE to pay and get an injured guy back. Horton comes with the long term IR in place, so they save money there. If he cannot play, then they save a ton of cap space there. Its a gamble but makes sense.

so few its not worth worrying about. We access thier excess whenever it suits us and they like it.

Not so sure about that. This city, whenever some country does dumb things, University Ave is th site of numerous Embassy's (oops, Embassy Lites, sorry) and the protests there quite often block traffic. No one gets arrested since there really is no harm doen overall.

I get what you want to do, but thats the wrost response you could possibly do to a Cop. The Cop only adds Assualt on a Policeman and you are screwed. Even with the poisoned fruit theory youd likely still get hammered on the assault. Whos the idiot if thats clearly not true? Reasonble suspicion, probable cause allow the Cops to do lots of things including arrest.

Except for the thousands that were innocent. Even the Police in the tribunal thats been running admitted that. The Black Block? Not innocent, but there were few of those compared to innocents. Where do you get all this wrong information? Sun News has been off the air for awhile now.

Maybe post what you want, back it up, be coherent and all should be good. But when one posts a whole bunch of malarkey, and it has been done, then they get taken to task on it. Im afraid your skin isnt thick enough. You said one day ago you wouldnt, then today you would. Which is it? Its also sad that some cant help themselves from posting half truths, untruths, bogus made of shite and the rest.

And yet just yesterday in the status you said... Aint that a bitch huh ?
