More than half the petitions cite bill 2 and the notwithstanding clause as a main reason.

you'd think that between my love of animals and artificial lakes, Reservoir Dogs would be a perfect movie for me, but instead it's about a bunch of guys that kill other guys or something.

"He didn't rape a 13-year-old," Tarantino told Stern. "It was statutory rape. That's not quite the same thing... He had sex with a minor, all right. That's not rape.

"To me, when you use the word rape, you're talking about violent, throwing them down."

"She wanted to have it and dated the guy."

With a massive legal shakeup, Alberta’s government is paving the way for a separatist referendum.

"It’s the most draconian, totalitarian piece of legislation I’ve ever seen," says a former deputy premier.
