That's not shoplifting though - that's a full on B&E to a commercial enterprise. :nerd:
Yeah, yay for misleading titles. Yes, it was some teens and yes they stole candy - but they had to break into a store inside a major amusement park to do it. Folks doing that are likely to attract some unfriendly police attention. :lol:
They weren't going after some corner store candy shoplifters.
lawyers are no fun <_< :P
Canada seems like a very unsafe place.

Too many unscrupulous accountants and lawyers.

Have you ever been G?
So I was talking with an uber driver a while back and he was telling me about his trip to Canada, and one of the things that had stood out for him was the lack of police officers.
Now this is something I have observed as well, but I never made anything out of it because I tended to live in smaller towns in Canada and I figured that accounted for it. However I just did a quick search and wiki's numbers support that, putting the number of officers per capita in Canada at slightly more than half of that for the US.
Les flics always seem to be around in Montreal. Don't really remember seeing a bunch in Toronto.

You were mostly downtown though. Gotta keep an eye on the bros descending from Boston every goddamn weekend thinking it's ok to get loud, drunk and grab girls because "it's Montreal man! knowadImean?"

Yup he has. He seemed to feel relatively safe in my company... or maybe that was just a front?

You were quite keen on that leather bar. :whistle:

I am glad that, for once, they take theft seriously.
It shouldn't be taken this seriously.

I don't expect them to catch every thief, but it would be nice to know that not 100% of them can get away with it.

yes. He even met with an horrible homophobic, anglophobic person while visiting our country and nothing bad happened.

Actually my general impression is that Anglo Canadians are bigger knuckleheads in Montreal than Americans.

During springbreak, both group can be knuckleheads. They're not used to drinking, they come over here where it's still very liberal, so they drink until they nearly pass out.
During hockey games, Boston fans have a certain reputation they sometimes try to uphold, and with Habs fans, that creates... frictions. That's like having a party where you invite Bandidos and Hell's Angels with their patches. ;)
Not to say that some Montreal fans don't do crazy shit in Boston either.
