The former CWO in me has a hard time with union swag. Some members of my team wear it. I won't. Nobody gives me grief over it, either.

As noted above, the CBSA union provides swag such as slip-ons. CBSA recruits used to wear red slip-ons which were similar to the protest ones. Crossing the border in 2015 at Lacolle with my wife, she asked me why CBSA had recruits working the front line. CBSA recruits now wear grey slip-ons.

Nothwithstanding who they actually are in the photo, that tactic, along with the lesser visible wearing of jeans on duty, are time honoured SPVM union bargaining practices. it's not confined to them, either. Seems like it's a QC thing. I work alongside some former SPVM, MRC de deux montagnes...

Or "work-to-rule". CBSA's union did that a few years back. BSO's asked each and every traveler in each and every vehicle all 10 mandatory questions. 14 km backups were common. They did it for less than a day. Treasury Board was back at the table the next morning.

That's a common contract negotiation protest tactic with the SPVM. Our union does something similar, but it's pretty much limited to union provided coloured slip-ons, union logo ball caps and coloured boot laces. In Montréal it prompts the public to start asking questions which then puts...

I'm 100% with Brihard on this one. Clean out your locker, you're fired. Law enforcement is hard enough on a good day. But to have these types of idiots in our ranks, treating the public like shyte "just because", doesn't make it any easier.

Surprisingly, the RCMP website was updated to correct the amnesty expiry date the day after I made my post here that pointed out the discrepancy. You're only paranoid if you think you're being watched. If the GoC wins at the SCC, then the amnesty expires 90 days after the SCC decision is...

Consider the psychological effect of a burst or few of blank rounds on civilians in low/bad light as an intimidation tactic or as a break contact drill against civilian LE. Aside from any possible cardiac events, you're not going to hurt anyone and still get your point across. In the heat of...

So, if this insane scheme goes ahead, the precedent will have been set for any future death row inmate to request their prime time frying time as their last wish. The law of unintended consequences.

What's his position on natural stupidity?

Who was the scenario safety officer and are they still employed?

Which part? The GoC has clearly stated that once the amnesty expires, information on current owners of banned firearms who have not participated in the scheme and who have not provided evidence of destruction or other lawful disposal will be provided to the police of jurisdiction for...

Being the O.P.P. have said "no", the RCMP would be the next logical choice in Renfrew. However, once the amnesty ends, local police will be directed to take the lead on the criminal confiscations.

Confusion reigns supreme. The amnesty has already been extended to a date 90 days after the SCC releases it's decision. And that information is on the Public Safety Canada webpage. However, according to the RCMP website, the amnesty is still set to expire in 29 days.

Which God?

From what I've read here and elsewhere, I'd day it's more likely that Benny Hill was involved.

One of our officers used that defence in a similar case a few years ago. It didn't work out well.

Maybe the CAAWC could supply us with some near end of life cycle parachutes?

One of the steps that has to happen before a deportation is known as a Pre Removal Risk Assessment which also confirms that the receiving nation will actually accept the deportee. We can't just land, push the deportee out the door and take off again, as desirable that might be in some...

Don't forget the eight year long Québec Biker War between the HA and Rock Machine which led to 160 deaths and 300 injuries, many being collateral damage.
