Accused has 'no memory' of night at War Memorial

A Montreal man charged with mischief after several people allegedly urinated on the National War Memorial says he drank so much alcohol he has no recollection of that night.

In an exclusive interview with CTV News, Stephen Fernandes said he drank about 26 or 27 ounces of vodka, plus five or six beers on Canada Day -- the day that a photograph, eventually published across the country, was taken of him allegedly urinating on the monument dedicated to Canada's war dead.

"So needless to say I was inebriated. I have no recollection of anything that happened. The next morning when I sobered up, I drove home. I called up my friend and I asked him if anything had happened," said Fernandes.

"And he said, 'No, you were really drunk last night, we took care of you. But you didn't really do anything stupid'."


interesting that he can remember how much vodka and how many beers he drank, but nothing else.

There is a case going on here where an executive of some company or other fondled a female journalist. His defense is that he was very, very drunk. It seems to be working. The article I read sounded like the court was going to accept inebriation as temporary insanity. Shocked

I'm just wondering if this guy can use the same defense strategy in Canada.

Reminds me of a story from St.Petersburgh. So I am working on a cruise ship that stops for two full days and one night in the great city.

Over 2000 guests sign up for shore excursions with the ship because you can not go into the port without a visa, only with a guided tour.

One of the advantages of this is that a tonne of staff are needed to accompany the tours, so I go on this tour with this bus. Its the scenic walking tour, we are cruising around checking out these great sites having a great time. We arrive at the Church of Spilled Blood, now let me preface and say that this is arguably the most important church in Russia.

We go inside and we are all astounded with this place its truely magnificent, after about half an hour or so I walk outside and what do I see, two police officers with a male guest from our ship in handcuffs and they are about to haul him away.

I quickly got our tour guide so she could speak to these guys about what had happened. Turns out this guy pissed on the church if you can believe it.

She tries and tries to get them to release him, no luck he did not make it back on the ship and from what I heard he spent the next two months in a prison and paid a $10,000 US fine.

That's about the greatest expression of freedom possible. To be able to piss anywhere, act upon your human impulses and be as free and at home with nature as the wind. .....

Seems like a great tribute to all those who gave their life for freedom.

What kills me is that there is no one guarding it, it seems to me with billions in surplus and the hottest economy in the G8 we could afford to pay retired vets and RMC students in the summer to guard the thing. But then again that would take someone to actually think and we probably have some more important things to do like buy Canadian flags made in China or something. Rolling Eyes
