Tangent Alert: Taking this one step further, members should have their BMI measured prior to joining the meal line to determine how many calories they "need" as opposed to what they "want". But this should go into the old "Fat Troops on the Street" thread. Tangent Alert Ends.

Who are you to judge if a meal is 'insufficient"? Claims of this sort should require a statutory declaration from a dietician who will determine if the provided meal is sufficient for a person of your BMI.

Not as long as Nathalie is in his caucus.

To which his administration has shown open contempt for at all levels of the judiciary. To think the courts would constrain him is delusional.

Some trouble brewing in Nova Scotia. Northeast Nova RCMP seized illegal cannabis, arrested two people and responded to protests on April 2, and the investigations continue. Yesterday, at approximately 7:30 a.m., RCMP officers executed a search warrant under the authority of the federal Cannabis...

I'm quite surprised that POTUS 47 didn't have him replaced by an American.

The linked article states the Crown withdrew the charge.

My guess is that the mobile collection will be similar to what was attempted in Cape Breton. The only jurisdiction where I see police taking a pro-active role in confiscations following the expiry of the amnesty is QC. The Minister has not said exactly which services these retired and or off...

The Minister has said that the collection phase, which starts on April 1, will not be a door-to-door exercise, but has not outlined how it will be conducted, either. After October 30, when the confiscation phase begins, it will likely fall to regular sworn members of police services. It will...

They lack jurisdiction in the US.

That may be the COA. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. We can continue this specific discussion in the Gun Control thread until something goes sideways with the project and that story ends up here.

From speaking to some former cops I work with it seems that this will not be limited to retired and/or off duty RCMP members but will be open to members of other agencis regardless of whether or not that agency has signed on. How, exactly, they plan to pull it off, both pre and post October 30...
