that a certain would-be immigrant from Poland had quite the death wish [emphasis mine]:
GLIWICE, Poland -- A vodka bottle lies on the floor beside a coffee table featuring a half-eaten breast of chicken, an overflowing ashtray and large photographs of Robert Dziekanski's final hysterical moments before dying in the grip of Taser-wielding Mounties in Vancouver.Widow Elzbieta Dubon, grief-stricken throughout her first interview with the Canadian media, manages a faint smile when asked what Canada meant to her common-law husband of eight years.
The smile somehow brightens and warms a pasty, alcohol- and nicotine-abused face that could be the visage of someone two decades older.
"Make sure he knows that I am smiling," Dubon, 46, said to a Polish interpreter while she nodded to a Canadian journalist.
"When Robert left he told me, 'Ella, if I go to the Rocky Mountains, and if I see a grizzly bear, I will walk up to it and kiss it.'"
Good thing the cops acted before he could take one of us with him.
