Yes, of course. Unless you advocate we use, what, torture?
Well, in this case it might not be so bad...

I'm not a lawyer or anything... But yes you can sit there and say nothing until the end of time if you want. But you don't have the right to demand your lawyer like in American cop shows. (Again that's my layman's understanding).
A criminal lawyer I knew once told me "If you're arrested never talk to the police. Nothing good can possibly come from it".

Our gang culture? Somalia is still a pre-modern tribal society-- gangs as government, in short-- with absolutely horrible attitudes toward gender equality, homosexuality and free thinkers consituting those "traditional values". I'm all in favour of welcoming and supporting Somali new Canadians, so no kneejerk bigotry here, but let's not slide down the slope of romanticising other cultures or blaming their issues on our decadence.

You still have the right to remain silent, and impose your right to consult with counsel prior to questioning/interrogation, if I understand it correctly.

That's something pro-Ford people say to try to minimize the situation. Most people I know rarely mention the crack use except when tallying up their grievances about this buffoon.

That's a common line (heh) of argument and has some merit, but it astonishes me how many Ford friends/fans talk as if cocaine use were the only wildly inappropriate thing Ford has done while in office. It's as if they haven't read or watched anything over the past ten months.

Fits with the police interviews of Price in the ITO where they ask him why he was in contact with the shooting victim at unit 1703, and Price said he had recently been "canvassing the constituents and given out hundreds of business cards."
