Oh look, it's the RCMP and Toronto police being poo poo again.quote:Farah has no criminal record, and in her eight years on the job at United Airways (now American Airlines) she’d never been formally disciplined. She was using her wages, in part, to help pay for her sister’s post-secondary education. When Transport Canada downgraded Farah’s security clearance in February 2014, it didn’t say she had done anything wrong. Officials said they were investigating Farah’s alleged connection to the Dixon Crew, which police describe as a street gang “primarily comprised of Somali males.” Police have not clearly demonstrated any link between Farah, who is of Somali heritage, and the unnamed convicted criminals it called “Subjects A, B, and C.”

Police do sometimes put out photos to identify "persons of interest", as they call them, in certain investigations. Usually that's just murders or other major crimes, though. I have to wonder how often they do these kinds of "suspicious activity" checks that aren't known by the media. On a similar note, did anything come of those guys who were being looked for in Toronto around the Pan Am games time. Two or three "middle eastern men" seen "acting suspiciously" on a bridge near the skydome?

The thing is that the good officers generally don't hate their remote postings, and those remote postings deserve good officers as much as cities and towns do (and they often need them more). Punishing bad officers by sending them to unpleasant places they'll hate just exacerbates the problem. We should just excise them from the force completely.

Have our right wingers reached neonazi level yet? So far we've only got arson and pepper spray attacks, Germany and other European countries have basically skin head gangs beating them up with bats and poles. They are also even calling for basically outright killing them.  "Poland is ready to welcome immigrants"

The RCMP need reform, especially in the top levels, but having a national police force that is, in fact, trained to a very high level is an asset to the country and should not be thrown away.

Her job is to assay commercial properties (for sale or not) which includes taking pictures of every entrance and exit, parking lot, hvac infrastructure, etc. She literally does this for a living and has never been outed on the news. Maybe because she's white and blonde?

It's mainly just some mild rumblings in the usual places, like Facebook, but I don't think we're going to see the same rise of the far-right here in Canada just yet. Aside from the usual suspects, like Facebook comments under refugee stories, I don't know how committed our right-wingers are to ultra-nationalist causes. There's always Ezra Levant doing his best to radicalize the Canadian right, but he seems like the only one with any degree of prominence.

Ontario hydro chat trigger warning. A Tor Star journalist is having a little slap fight with the auditor general because his criticism of hydro one and OLP is nowhere near scathing enough. http://www.thestar.com/news/queenspark/2016/01/10/fun-with-numbers-on-your-monthly-hydro-bill-cohn.html quote:“We are concerned that the ministry continues to invest in conservation efforts when Ontario already has significant surplus power,” the auditor’s report concludes ominously. During a surplus, “reducing electricity consumption through conservation efforts is of little value.” What kind of professional journalist writes that nonsense. That kind of logic wouldn't even fly here, luckily the AG calls him out for being a retarded eco warrior. http://www.thestar.com/opinion/commentary/2016/01/15/i-didnt-endorse-fossil-fuel-generated-power-auditor.html The AG posted:We appreciate that questioning conservation is somewhat akin to questioning motherhood, but we believe the cost/benefit issue needed to be raised. However, for Mr. Cohn to write that “according to the auditor… we’d best keep burning fossil fuels?” because we dared to raise this concern does seem disingenuous at best, and just factually incorrect at worst.  http://www.thestar.com/news/queenspark/2016/01/16/why-cheap-hydro-was-too-good-to-be-true-cohn.html quote:Blaming an electricity utility for price hikes is like showering praise on Enbridge or Union Gas for declining natural gas bills, writes Martin Regg Cohn. In which MRC seemingly finishes the stroke he started during the first article.

Leofish posted:"Workers' compensation, occupational heath and safety" considered the "most burdensome" regulation to comply with, as per the respondents. The documentation component of those regulations are often needlessly annoying to comply with and do nothing to actually increase workplace safety. They're entirely about preventing liability. I dunno what the answer is (it's not crying wolf with inflated numbers) but when people complain about red tape they are probably not wrong.
