Update on the Freemen idiocy - it looks like the house has been cleared out, and the locks changed. I feel so badly for the landlady - she has spent two years getting those assholes out of her house, now she gets to go in and see how much damage they have left behind (and my guess is “lots”). I wonder if she’ll keep trying to rent, or if she’ll just fix it up and sell it (or just sell it as is).
Fiiiine. I’ll find another get rich quick scheme. 
…how does one become a Freeman guru? Lol.
One forgets everything one ever knew about the law…
For shits and giggles, the police should send them a bill.
Start a law school, such as the Erwin Rommel Mobile Law School. Be cautioned – if you watch some of their youtube lectures, your brains might start leaking out your ears and make a mess on your shoulders.
The Desert Fox was a lawyer?!?
It was enough just to see ERSOL’s website.
Pretty good website design … for 1998.
In other news, Tarek Loubani and John Greyson are detained for another 45 days. While the Prime Minister’s office has called for their release, it would seem the Egyptians want to hold them for another six weeks.
I heard everyone arrested during that protest are being held for another 45 days. The Canadians are not being treated any differently, for what its worth.
Payable only in gold coins, of course.
Well, we’ve seen the inside of the house now - it looks like quite a mess. I do feel really badly for the landlady, but in every interview, she sounds like someone I couldn’t spend five minutes in a room with.
She’s certainly a poster child for why you should get everything in writing when renting out your property. I feel sorry for her for what happened, but at the same time, WHY was she that naive and trusting?!?
Strangely, that’s the least reassuring part of it. The most recent reports indicate that they may be charged with murder.
Just saw that myself.
She obviously had not done her homework and spent some time watching “Judge Judy.” 
Well, that sucks. If what we’re hearing is true, that the one guy was just treating injured protestors and the other guy was filming it, the murder charges sound ridiculous, but Minister Baird says this case is more complicated than we realize (maybe he wouldn’t mind telling us why it’s so complicated at some point).
Didn’t you hear? They’re back!
This is a Canadian version of The Onion, right? Please?
ETA: OK, after poking around, it most certainly is Onion north. I need to bookmark it now.
Or like The Daily Currant - I’ve been taken in by both of them many times…
They missed out in that picture - there should have been some spelling errors and the maple leafs should have been badly mis-shapen.
Sadly, there are a lot of people like that out there.
“Handshake deals” seem to be quite common in Alberta, and keep a number of colleagues busy, either prosecuting debt-collection matters, or defending them. I had to do a few of them when I was an articling student, and they were no fun; mainly due to the lack of documentation (written leases, loan contracts, and similar).
I hope that the news items on this incident highlight the importance of “getting it in writing,” and not trusting a handshake when a lot of money is on the line.
And the importance of spreading the risk by renting several units, so that when one tenant is a deadbeat, the cash-flow will continue with the others.
