Loonie-Tunes -- November 28, 2018
One reader thinks heavy oil producers need to construct a six-foot-wide / thousand-mile long hockey rink from Alberta to Minot -- let the kids move western Canadian heavy oil to the US.There's a reason the Canadian one-dollar coin is called a loonie. But that's not the end of the loonie-ness. From a reader who caught this on NPR: now that Canadians have banned "weapons" from schools, kids are being given 94-cent hockey pucks with which to defend themselves. I cannot make this up:
Hockey pucks: They're small, heavy and — one Michigan college thinks — might be the perfect weapon against an active shooter on campus.
Oakland University, a public school located in Rochester Hills, near Detroit, is distributing thousands of 94-cent hockey pucks for just that reason.
The distribution, which began earlier this month, stemmed from a March faculty active-shooter training session following February's shooting at a Parkland, Fla., high school that left 17 dead.
A participant at the training asked the Oakland University Police Chief Mark Gordon what items people could use to defend themselves on the campus, which has a no-weapons policy.
A hockey puck was a "spur-of-the-moment idea that seemed to have some merit to it and it kind of caught on," Gordon said.
The faculty union followed up on the idea, purchasing 2,500 hockey pucks: 800 for union members and 1,700 for students, the Free Press reports.
The school conducts active-shooter training sessions multiple times a year, teaching the "Run, Hide, Fight" method which emphasizes fleeing an active-shooter situation above all else, hiding if fleeing isn't an option — and fighting if hiding isn't, either.Now, the training will be "run, hide, throw." Or for those with hockey sticks: "skate, swing, shoot."
A hat trick will require three active shooters.
