So, a Greek guy in Canada made an Italian staple into something that he thought would represent a Hawaiian cuisine (even though it was just the can, many people naively believe it truly is a Hawaiian dish)

Once someone told me they thought that's how they ate their pizza over there. Lol.

Nevertheless, if I were in Canada at that time, I would have visited his restaurant and ordered one of the originals. It's not the best pizza topping but it is also not the worst. (I hate anchovies, fish of any kind or mushrooms on my pizza. Mushrooms are good in other dishes.)

He was by far my favorite. His favorite things were dandelion greens, raising ducklings, and people talking to him. Big guy was the best.

For three years, the Broward County Sheriff’s Office produced its own crack cocaine, so it could sell it to people that deputies would then arrest for buying crack cocaine.

Summary

Former New Orleans priest Lawrence Hecker, 93, pleaded guilty to child rape, exposing decades of systemic cover-ups by the New Orleans Catholic archdiocese.

Church leaders shielded Hecker despite his 1999 confession and psychiatric diagnosis as an incurable pedophile.

Archbishops allowed him to retire quietly in 2002, avoiding public accountability.

Hecker’s guilty plea followed growing evidence, media exposure, and a 2023 grand jury indictment.

Survivors and advocates demand justice for systemic abuses and cover-ups within the archdiocese, as the case highlights broader inquiries into potential clergy sex-trafficking.

The alliance wants to have eyes and ears near its submarine cables.
