For all those people wanting Universal healthcare here in the states, consider this Canadian case, of a Schizophrenic AXE MURDERER who has disappeared after being let out on a day pass. With judgment like that, these guys are in serious danger of losing their vaunted status as "America's Hat."

On this day in history:
