In the news...

...so in today's paper there's a story about a lady in Dartdot who's charging her ex-boyfriend with Aggravated Assault. Apparently while they were dating, the then-boyfriend poked holes through the condoms in hopes she'd get pregnant. All this time the girl had no clue till the doc told her one day she was pregnant. Her and her then-boyfriend ended up breaking up and one day he called her and warned her not to use the condoms with anyone else as he had sabotaged them. She ended up getting an abortion and then had lots of complications after the procedure was done. The condoms were even entered into evidence. She claims that had she known the condoms were sabotaged, she would not have had any sexual relations with her then-boyfriend.

Not sure what the abortion has to do with this story as that's her choice according to Canadian Law and I'm not gonna touch that subject...too controversial to blog about. Let's get back to this boyfriend, now ex-boyfriend....what the heck is wrong with him? He claimed he did it to save the relationship...newsflash....babies don't solve problems! Haven't you watched enough Talk Shows to figure that out yet?? And why are they even bringing this to trial? He admitted to ruining the condoms and admitted he did it to save their relationship...not sure what more a jury or the judge needs to hear. There must be something I'm missing...hum...seems like a waste of court time to me. If he did it and he says he did then what's the problem?

Also in the news today was the story of the tragic death of a local snowmobiler. Very sad and I send my sympathies to his family and friends. One thing that gets me about the article is at the end it says "A Facebook group created in Mr. X's (I left his name out - please read the article for more details) memory had 101 members by Sunday afternoon." -http://thechronicleherald.ca/NovaScotia/9010366.html What does it matter how many people joined his facebook group? I find that kinda mean. His family and friends don't care...or I assume they don't...how many people sign up to his group. This isn't news...it's actually quite sad that it's come to this. Facebook is an excellent way to keep in touch with people and also remember people...does the number of members matter? Just something the think about.

Ydot is getting a plane! YAY! This is exciting news! Apparently there will be a flight from Ydot to Hdot and Ydot to Portdot (USA). There is a meeting tomorrow for the public and for the business people regarding this flight so you might want to check that out. I think it's at the Library so give them a call to confirm the times if you're interested in attending.
