Clip wows viewers: 'Canadian police are the best'

A Mountie caught a group of friends shredding in the woods — so he did what no one expected.


The video posted by a user who lives in Lethbridge in southern Alberta shows a group of friends camping in the woods with their band gear when a cop car pulls up.
The posting says the chums thought they'd done something wrong when the officer came over, but he grabbed a guitar and played a bit before jumping behind a drum set.
The video entitled "Coolest Cop Ever Playing Drums in the Woods" isn't clear where the jam session happened.


Now called 'Coolest Cop Ever'

(if you do watch the video - make sure to watch the last 2 minutes) - I'm wondering if the cop will be in trouble - because you even see open beer laying around - which is illegal here on public land).

This just in: Cop plays guitar in woods as gay porn star dismembers his lover and mails pieces across the country and then skips town. More at 10!

Canadians again to the rescue helping out the USA!
From all the places, even in the capital Washington, DC.
News video (news that doesn't broadcast in the US - out of embarrasment, I suppose).

You name the capital....like we don't know what it's called .


Embarrassment ? about what, the weather and storms? We don't control that. The crew was from Ontario...thanks for sharing, DS.

You act like this crew is driving around our country like Scooby Doo and his human pals in a Mystery Machine , helping people as they go along. These people in that crew are getting paid big $$$$$ to do what they are doing. All human resources of these electric utility companies in these heat wave affected areas are being used to their maximum capacities. So the utility companies contracted with another country's utility companies to rent relatively underused human resources.


BIG DEAL!!!

It is a big deal if you are on Day 7 or 8 without power in the middle of a heat wave.

This happens all the time.

Oh here I go again, my post disappeared. Yes it happens all the time. Areas in immediate need of skilled workers import them. If the areas affected were smaller, they could have imported workers from other counties, states, etc. They had to go to another country to do it. So what?

On the other hand, if we had Canadian airplanes doing air drops of ice and fully fueled generators to the affected areas with no though of compensation, then we would have a story here.

Upstate, are you under the influence of Klein's mesmeration field again?

It is not uncommon to see Hydro Quebec trucks where I live.

I just say that's in exchange for a few of us Canucks using your empty operating rooms.

Last chance today to check your pc for the virus ! (Canada check-site)
(mine is just fine)


On July 9, thousands of Canadians run the risk of losing access to the Internet because of a years-old virus created in Estonia.

What to do if your computer is infected

If you are one of the unlucky ones with a red banner, don't worry, you aren't alone: approximately 7,000 computers in Canada are still harbouring the virus. There was also an estimated 12 per cent of Fortune 500 companies that still had the virus on some of their computers as of two weeks ago.

Hey everyone,remember I said I might be going to St John New Brunswick for 2 weeks?
This is part of the ups expansion into the maritime provinces.
Well my center manager was a tad off on the location.It's actually in St Johns Newfoundland!!!
He was about 1000 miles off.I got the hotel confirmation Friday for Delta St Johns.
That's pretty much as east as it gets in Canada.
The new center opens on Monday Jul 16th and I'll be delivering pkgs in a truck with
keyless ignition and using the diad 5.

 

[klein]

Lucky you, DS !
I hope you can understand Newfie language !

Have a great time !
Maybe you'll a seafood lover, or lobster fan ?
UPS pays for it all !

Actually, St John's (on an Island in the North Atlantic), deserves some pics :

I wonder what else your center manager misled you about? I guess you'll find out. See you in six months( you're in the army now pal).

No one would have invented the "Ignore" button on websites for one.

I'm certain he'll bring his laptop along. Won't be much else to do after work in his hotel room (hope you have a bar fridge in it , for your beer - if not - they always have buckets and ice )
