So Grant Bristow has brokenhis silence. If you’re not Canadian, this probably doesn’t mean anything to you so let me give you a little bio. Mr. Bristow made a name for himself in the late 80s when there was a controversy as to whether he was a right wing Nazi lover or a paid infiltrator for CSIS.

During that time, he worked for the company that I work for and I had almost daily contact with him. What I remember is a number of unsolicited observations from him that were uniformly racist, vulgar and sickening.

I didn’t believe his protestations that his anti-minority views were a clever front then and I don’t believe them now.

If he was acting, he deserves and Oscar. Mr. Bristow, climb back under your rock, we don’t need to hear from you again.

So the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration released the results of its vehicle tests.

I own a 2004 Jeep Liberty 4X4 which is rated as a SUV and it’s come up with the following ratings: (all scores out of 5)

+ Frontal Impact Rating – 5 for driver and 4 for passenger

+ Side Impact Rating – 5 for the front seat and 5 for the rear

+ Rollover Resistance Rating – 3

Everyone knows that SUVs are prone to rollover because of the high center of gravity so a 3 isn’t so bad.

Love the Jeep. The only issues I’ve had is that the gas mileage could be better (heavy vehicle) and transmission whine at high speed. Other than that, it’s been great.
