Ottawa shooter tried to rob Vancouver McDonald’s with stick Ottawa shooter Michael Zehaf-Bibeau attempted to confess to a historical armed robbery that the RCMP believed didn’t happen, then attempted an armed robbery at a McDonald’s to go to jail, court recordings provided to CTV News show. It was all part of a bizarre plan by the man who attacked Parliament Hill to get to jail to atone for his sins and get clean from a crack addiction, the audio recordings show. “Perfect, perfect,” a Zehaf-Bibeau says with a French accent on the tapes, when he is finally allowed to be incarcerated. “The RCMP are investigating.” This is a reported photo of the suspect from Wednesday's attack in Ottawa, Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, from an ISIS Twitter account which has been suspended. Michael Zehaf-Bibeau is shown carrying a gun while running towards Parliament Hill in Ottawa on Wednesday, Oct. 22, 2014, in a still taken from RCMP video surveillance. Zehaf-Bibeau visited the Burnaby detachment of the RCMP to claim he had committed an armed robbery in Quebec 10 years ago, but an officer could find no evidence of the crime. Instead, the RCMP arrested Zehaf Bibeau under the B.C.’s Mental Health Act, and released him the next day. Zehaf-Bibeau then attempted to rob a Vancouver McDonald’s with a pointed stick, the recording reveals. His grin unnerved the McDonald’s clerk, who asked if the man was serious. Zehaf-Bibeau said, “Yes, hand over the money, homeboy.” The McDonald’s clerk refused, telling Zihaf-Bibeau that he had already phoned the police. “Beat it,” the clerk said. Zehaf-Bibeau walked out of the McDonald’s, and dropped his stick on the pavement to wait for police to arrive. That’s when he was arrested and court workers concluded that he may have an undiagnosed mental health disorder, in addition to being addicted to crack. At a Dec. 19, 2011 bail hearing, Zehaf-Bibeau told the court that he didn’t want to be on the outside. “I wanted to come to jail,” he said. “The RCMP couldn’t do the work fast enough." “I warned them that if you can’t keep me in I will do something right now to put me in.” He was kept in jail pending his trial and given a psych assessment. “The accused is aware of his charged and possible consequences of conviction,” said the psychiatrist. “He wants to be in jail as he believes this is the only way he can overcome his addiction to crack cocaine.” “He has been a devoted Muslim for seven years and he believes he must spend time in jail as a sacrifice to pay for his mistakes in the past and he hopes to be a better man when he is eventually released." "I am unable to find any features or signs of a mental illness and although he seems to be making an unusual choice this is insufficient basis for a diagnosis of a mental disorder. I recommend that the accused is presumed fit to stand trial,” the psychiatrist wrote. On Feb. 22, 2012, Zehaf-Bibeau was sentenced to time served. There is no record in that proceeding of a historical armed robbery, though Zehaf-Bibeau does have a criminal record in Quebec.
'Moose rider' under investigation after video posted to YouTube Spoiler B.C. conservation officials have launched an investigation after video was posted Saturday to YouTube showing an unidentified man jumping on and riding a moose. The video, shot from a motor boat, shows the pursuit of a moose as it crosses a shallow body of water. A man in bathing trunks is on the bow of the boat. As the boat pulls up behind the moose, the man jumps onto its back and rides the struggling animal for 15 seconds before falling off. One of the passengers in the boat can be heard shouting, "I've never seen anything so awesome." Others in the boat can be heard laughing. David Vince, a conservation officer with the B.C. Ministry of the Environment, says there is a law against harassing wildlife and what's shown in the video is "the ultimate form of harassment." "You can see that the moose is struggling with that fellow on her back. You can see the fright in her eyes," he told CBC News. Vince says conservation officers believe the incident may have taken place last July on Tuchodi Lakes in Northern Rocky Mountains Provincial Park, although the exact location has yet to be confirmed. He's asking anyone with information to call 1-877-952-7277. The video was sent to the province's conservation service by a group called Wolftracker. Wolftracker's Facebook page says it supports "responsible, legal, predator control in British Columbia."
I'll never ever understand people who are assholes to animals. I wish the moose would have trampled him when he fell off and he would've drowned.
'guuuuyyyy on a moooooooseeeee' just doesn't quite have the same ring to it as 'guuuuyyyy on a buuufffalllooooooooooo'

JUST A THREESOME GOING DOWN IN BROAD DAYLIGHT AT THE CALGARY STAMPEDE Spoiler No big deal. The Calgary Stampede is a 10-day festival featuring concerts, rodeos, chuckwagon races, nightly evening shows and "constant Midway action" that takes place in Alberta's largest city every July. It's unknown if these three Stampede patrons recently took "constant Midway action" a tad too literally or if the music of Vance Joy is the Canadian equivalent to Cialis, but whatever the case, it looks as though they partook in their own little rodeo away from the main stage, one where lasting just eight seconds isn't a good thing. We're not sure if the thumbs up picture came before or after the group plow session, but since they both look pretty clean, we'll assume it came before, well, he did.
I feel his pain. They made all left-hand lanes 3+ person carpool lanes. Toronto traffic as already brutal. Took me 4 hours for what should be a 1.5 hour drive on Sunday.
We drove thru on Sunday around noon. Bit of traffic on 401 around DVP but overall pretty smooth. Will take 407 on way back tho.
Gave him a like as I didn't read the article. I don't speak Canadian. Spoiler and he's sleeping on my couch this weekend and I don't want it to be weird

GODDAMNIT CANADA Undercover Vancouver Police officer Mark Horsley uncovers kindness in Downtown Eastside 'This community has soul,' says police officer after posing as disabled man in wheelchair By Jane Armstrong, CBC News Posted: Jul 16, 2015 4:44 PM PT Last Updated: Jul 17, 2015 10:24 AM PT A police officer who posed as a disabled man to catch thieves plaguing Vancouver's troubled Downtown Eastside was hit with unexpected kindness and compassion instead. Police launched the undercover assignment last spring after a string of attacks and robberies against people in wheelchairs. More than half of the crimes occurred in the city's Downtown Eastside, a neighbourhood known for its large homeless population, street drugs, crime and prostitution. For five days, Staff Sgt. Mark Horsley wheeled through the neighbourhood in a wheelchair. He told people he had a brain injury and couldn't count and wore a waist wallet with money spilling out. Expecting to encounter street thieves, Horsley, a 30-year police veteran, instead met men and women who looked out for him, gave him money and even prayed for him. 'Community has soul' No one tried to rob him or short change him during transactions. "Not one person took advantage of my vulnerability," Horsley told a news conference Thursday. "This community has soul." Police released a video of Horsley's interactions with people in the Downtown Eastside during his assignment. Staff Sgt. Mark Horsley, who posed as a disabled man in the Downtown Eastside, admitted he was anxious the first day of his assignment. During one filmed encounter, a young man bends over and closes the zipper of Horsley's money pouch, warning him to be careful. Another man asked permission to pray for him to heal. "The generosity, the caring was inspiring," Horsley said. In the end, the operation didn't net any arrests, but Insp. Howard Chow said the exercise wasn't a failure, because Horsley's experience provided a lesson police could share with residents. Horsley agreed, saying he learned from the people he encountered on his assignment. "The people of the downtown are watching. They care and they take care of their vulnerable people."
I'll say this for Canada, they hold their communities together the way its supposed to be done....with shame. I like that about them.
Report: Quick-thinking teen helps rescue kidnapped woman 59 Comments Email reports Canada's CBC News. On Aug. 1, Bonnet told the network he had witnessed a man screaming at a woman in the street. Bonnet approached the couple, and they asked him for bus money. The teen agreed, but when he had a moment alone with the woman, he began to realize something was very wrong. "The girl was saying, 'Please help me. He don't want to let me go. I want to go home but he don't want to let me go,'" Bonnet told the CBC. Bonnet ended up telling a white lie in order to help the woman. He told the couple he lived where they were headed so he could accompany them on the bus. He was able to get the man to trust him. "My plan was to keep them in a public place, where there's a lot of people," he told the CBC. Bonnet's instincts were right. The police had actually been looking for the 29-year-old woman, who had allegedly been kidnapped by her ex-boyfriend earlier that day. Laval police told the CBC that they believed the man was very dangerous and had prior run-ins with the law. Bonnet explained in an interview with the CBC that he was waiting for the right moment to call the police. That moment came when he offered to buy the couple food at a Tim Hortons restaurant. He gave the man some money and Bonnet was able to sneak off. Bonnet's cellphone was dead though, so he borrowed a phone from someone in the restaurant so he could call 911. The police arrived within minutes. "She was almost crying. She was so happy, so happy not to be with him," Bonnet told CBC about the victim. The man was arrested on the spot and charged with kidnapping, assault and forcible confinement. Laval police told the CBC they intend to nominate Bonnet for a provincial award for bravery. Police officers commended Bonnet and have even raised money to pay him back for the money he spent that night. "I mean yo, money ain't nothing. Food ain't nothing. For a life? A life is really more important than my money," he said.

Ridiculous, i don't know what they are whining about. They start at 70 000$ and take extra hours which are very very well paid. I have a bunch of friends in the police departement they all make around 90 000 a year and their job is not dangerous at all. One of my best friend got a dui, his punishement was a year in the office at 70 000$ a year. He was pissed because with his overtime he used to make 100 000. Some of their overtime can be walking around at a show or hockey game. Their conditions are incredible and the y still whine, it's maddening. They Will all be done at 55 and their pension grows with the inflation
My brother in law just moved to Kingston from QC this summer. He is blown away by the differences of people's attitude. The sense of entitlement is something he sees now and is shocked by it.
I hate quebeccers and i am one, my Facebook is filled with teachers, police officers, firefighters and city workers that whine about their job conditions. Nigga shut the Fuck up and find something else if you're not happy. You get paid and collectively that puts us in a huge hole. Get the Fuck out, do something else and we are all going to be better off.
I Think everybody feels like this more or less, they just make it public and whine a lot because of group thinking and their syndicat. Also you can bitch about the organisation that provides your salary only if it's the gouvernement. Nobody else would dare. It's like they don't realise that many people are paying for them. I see champ in this thread and i Think he is working in the restaurant business, not an easy job. You can make a buck but you better be good and work a lot. From owners to chefs to waiters to bus boy, tough job and not everybody is able to do it...ok rant over.
Canadian candidate sorry for peeing in coffee cup Canadian Conservative Party politician Jerry Bance. Canadian Broadcast Corp. used hidden cameras in 2012 to record Bance peeing into the cup and pouring it down the sink while on a service call. The homeowner was in the next room. Bance runs an appliance repair company, and the CBC was reporting on home repair companies. Bance had been running in a Toronto district in the Oct. 19 election, but a Conservative party spokesman said Monday "Mr. Bance is no longer a candidate." Bance said in a statement he "deeply regrets" the incident and it doesn't reflect who he is as person or professional. Opposition New Democrat leader Tom Mulcair did not miss a chance to mock Bance and the Conservatives. "He must be someone who is adept at Stephen Harper's trickle-down theory of economics," Mulcair said. Last week, a government agency announced Canada recorded its second straight quarter of economic contraction, meeting economists' definition of a recession. Harper's government was also criticized for not doing enough for Syrian refugees amid the migrant crisis overseas.
