Oct. 30 - This from

Oct. 30 - This from Barrie, Ont. (Barrie? Yikes!): 3 face explosives rap. I never really thought of Barrie as a hotbed of radical or gang activity, so this is definitely in the WTF department:

BARRIE -- Three young adults were in bail court yesterday facing charges of vehicle theft and possession of two grenade-like explosive devices. Nicole Bazin, 18, Mark Burt, 18 and Steven Fiala, 20, all from the Barrie area, are charged with theft and possession of a 2002 Nissan Pathfinder and two counts of possession of an explosive device. They are to be back in bail court this morning.

UPDATE: Doh! Pierre from B.C. points out that the kids probably had explosives for Halloween hijinks, because nothing says Halloween more than blowing stuff up. The bigger the bang the better. I hadn't thought of that, being from the days of rotten eggs and tp-ing the school, but it seems the very likely explanation. Thanks, Pierre.
