Oh shit, I just looked through your posting history.  We know each other. Check your PMs.

Ask around the Bn.  They were originally printed by a Sgt in 1RCR...  I suggest starting with the Jacks and Sr NCOs who've been kicking around C-Coy for awhile... I wear mine often.  ;)

Walking away... for real this time...

All you've done is deliberately misinterpreted one line of my post and attacked it as if that were my actual position.  Anything to avoid dealing with the meat of my argument, eh? The fact that you're throwing up a straw man only strengthens my case.  It makes it obvious that you can't appeal...

And if you're not with us, you're obviously an anarchist!  ::)

Well, I think we agree on one point: minds have been made up and it is time for me to move on. What you're wrong about is that I'd have to go to anarchy.com to get the answers I want to hear.  While it might seem like I'm "the only one in step" in this very small community, I think most...

Those orange barrels mark the edge of the traffic control zone (Ref: the map I linked in my previous post), showing that they were well outside of the main protest area and nowhere even close to the 5 meter zone around the fence where the police had expanded powers to search people. So, I ask...

You said that I'm the kind of guy who thinks "that the police are out to 'get us poor law-abiding civilians'" with the implication that my argument is less valid because of that.  In any case, by picking that one word and arguing the semantics of it, you've avoided the meat of my post...

Yes, but what about the points I'm raising?  The videos? The photos? The SIU investigation? The doctors and lawyers who go arrested on their way home from work?  The moral fabric of this country? Ad hominem attacks and sticking your head in the sand doesn't make the issues I'm raising untrue.

Here is the video in question.  You can judge for yourself what you think about any editing that may have been done and, more importantly, what you think may or may not have been cut out. http://il.youtube.com/watch?v=Hym0afc03pE No, the guy didn't have to let the cop look in his bag.  As far...

http://www.thestar.com/news/torontog20summit/article/896777 I'd also like to bump the youtube video I previously posted for comments.  I think it shows quite clearly the kind of arbitrary searches I personally saw and described here back in July when I first started posting in this thread.

Thanks for the input guys, Re: Getting a car I have a car, it's paid off, and it was awesome when I was making CPL4 and living in the shacks.  But these days I just can't afford to keep it on the road.  Car insurance, gas, parking, and maintenance add up fast.  Driving just isn't an option...

I'm intrigued, but also suspicious. A quick google of  <using bear spray on a person> reveals an interesting anecdote from yahoo answers: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20081129230617AAtKEvQ If the above story is true, than using bear spray on a human would be illegal under the...

Thanks guys, I'll look into those ideas. As a slight tangent, Assuming that the situation fit all other criteria for legitimate self defence, what if a warehouse worker were to kill a mugger with a box cutter?  Would the courts be likely to interpret the box cutter as work tool he used to...

Thanks, George. I see those concerns and have noted them in my post above.  I should have been clearer with my question: If not this, than what is the next best alternative?

Could an LEO or someone else in the know offer advice on what is a legal and practical form of self-defence in Canada? I'm asking this because of the current situation my girlfriend is in: She often works into the early morning in downtown Toronto and has to take public transit across town to...

I agree. We need to organize and train for maximum flexibility, and build a system that allows us to learn and adapt quickly in fluid situations. There's no sense in trying to specialize our units until we know what threat they'll be facing.  We won't know what threat they'll be facing until...

What's your take on the video I posted above?

An interesting video that I think sheds some light on some of the topics we've touched on in this thread. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjVtsuoPlzk 1:34 A guy states that he does not consent to being searched.  Cop grabs him and states "You don't get a choice" and then tells him that "the...

Oops!  I missed that.  My bad!
