Omar Khadr has pled guilty to war crimes charges at Guantanamo Bay Monday. This means he admits to throwing the grenade that killed a U.S. medic in Afghanistan in 2002. By pleading guilty, he is also avoiding a possible life-sentence. His plea agreement has not yet been disclosed. It is known that he will be able to transfer to a Canadian prison within one year.

Hey there and thanks for dropping by. Wanted to make sure I got the news links for today's show posted before midnight.

Canada gets one half-right as BPA Bisphenol A is declared toxic but not banned from use.

The Long Gun Registry

The Tories are facing a defeat on one of their most cherished issues, and they have been put on the defensive about a CBC report that alleges their campaign on this issue has ties to the NRA. The CBC has published documents to back up their claim that the NRA has been actively involved in trying to abolish the long gun registry for years now.
