A horrible day in Canada
A truley shocking accident happened rescently. I, myself, am truely disturbed something like this could happen. Our nation is shocked, everyone is grieve-stricken. Support lines are open for those who are having trouble coping, many have attemped suicide. I have broken down repeatedly with uncontrolable sobbing, and am currently on stress leave.
DO NOT LOOK FUTHER IF YOU HAVE A WEAK STOMACH.
I apologize to those who I have scarred for life.

OK OK OK
Can't remember the actors name who uses that tag line but here is a true Canadian story.
I am an American (don't go there) who was stationed in Peru 1978-1979 with Volvo. I get transferred to Canada. Send wife and three kids ahead of me and they are there for about two months due to Visa problems I have.
Finally get all papers approved and I fly from Lima to Toronto.
Arrive on a Sunday. Purchased several bottles of decent wine at the Tax Free when I left Lima. One cannot buy spirits in Canada on a Sunday.
After several hours of negotiating Customs/Immigration at the Toronto airport finally get to embrace wife and kids, collect baggage and head for the motel where Volvo had put them up while I was awaiting clearance.
Unload the car, including a large bag of tax free wine and start to put all the stuff into the motel room (Kudos to Volvo by the way it was a very nice motel and we had a suite). Last bit of baggage was the bag of wine. This was November and it was already well into winter in Toronto.
Bottom line, I slipped on the steps getting into the motel and the entire supply of wine became so much sewage.. No bar at the motel, the car that delivered us was gone and we were not very close to a bar.
Not a good intro to Canada, although we made up for it over the next two years.
