No no no, Canadian kids knit toques and sing kumbaya all evening. It's very strictly enforced in these parts.

I can see a little group of them now, oh my, theres another blind old lady they have helped across the street.

I can verify that by personal experience.

Of course, as an adult I now knit up these:

He's a British immigrant to Canada. How is one, especially a Canadian one, to differentiate?

It's a kid, being a kid. Are you telling me you or any of your mates never threw a rock at a window?

The only thing different with kids now-a-days is that they're stupid enough to get themselves filmed being up to no good so end up getting caught.

And, maybe the teacher really did deserve it.

If you're disturbed by that BBC article, good luck in Vancouver! ;)

That's pretty minor: a few weeks ago I was reading an article claiming that there's a guy in Iraq leading attacks on US troops who was a Canadian PR who landed around 2000...

Yes. But then we were brought up decently by decent parents who'd never have let us get away with breaking windows with rocks.

I recall my poor mother on hearing the sound breaking glass rushing outside, gazing at the broken window and yelling at my brothers, who were playing cricket in the back yard ....... "HOW MANY TIMES MUST I TELL YOU NOT TO THROW THE BALL TOWARDS THE HOUSE????!!!!!!":mad:

To which came the bemused reply .... "But we didn't!......... It was the BAT not the BALL!!" :eek: :D

You'd be more upset at what gets in on Refugee status.
