Canadian Ledgies...

I was curious as to how the Travis Biehn case is being covered in Canada, if at all. I heard it was a big story since his parents are, I believe, Canadian citizens.

Just to re-cap, 17-year-old Biehn threatened to blow up his high school. When authorities investigated, they found more than 22 pounds of potassium nitrate in his home.

So, what's been the Canadian media's take on all this? I've heard they think the American authorities are over-reacting. But I figured I'd just ask you guys rather than listen to the American media's interpretation of the Canadian media.

This is the first I've heard of it But then again, I watch more American news then Canadian (Good Morning America, CNN, Entertainment Tonight ) Sometimes I'll catch our local evening new's but this time of year I hardly even watch T.V. and god forbid I actually read a newspaper But now you've peaked my curiosity and I am going to look into it.

Gee, you mean the American media may have overblown this?!

Seriously, perhaps there has been very little coverage, and that would be interesting to find out as well.

I watch CBC's The National every night (it's on Newsworld International on DirecTV), and I haven't really heard anything about it.
