IF the woman who gave Ketamine (or whatever) to Matthew Perry or the woman who supplied John Belushi with coke can be convicted of a criminal action....why not dealers and smugglers ??

I fully agree with you, but police and prosecutors would have to have solid evidence regarding the supply chain. Not an impossible task, but quite difficult I wager.

RCMP report says Bishnoi gang ‘acting on behalf of’ Indian government
An Indian gang accused of extortion and murder-for-hire in Canada has been “acting on behalf of the Indian government,” according to an RCMP document obtained by Global News.
In a report on the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, the RCMP national security division mentioned the crime group’s alleged ties to the government of India a half-dozen times in just three pages
Maybe we should be a little more picky with the guests we let in Canada.

Couldn't agree more. But, according to the linked Global article, he came here legitimately on a study permit. Unfortunately, as reported in the media, not every study permit holder actually comes here to study, which is why the government made it harder to obtain and retain a study permit. Is their plan working? I'd say that it's too soon to tell.

Nonsense, everything's fine!
B.C. premier downplays RCMP report linking Indian government to Bishnoi gang
B.C.’s premier has downplayed concerns raised in an RCMP report about the Indian government’s suspected ties to a gang blamed for extortion and murder in Canada.
During a trade mission to India, David Eby responded to questions about an RCMP document that said the Bishnoi gang was “acting on behalf of the Indian government.”
Asked about the newly-released report obtained by Global News, Eby said it was a “summary of publicly available news reports from more than a year ago.”
“This was not an RCMP intelligence report,” he said from Mumbai on Wednesday. His office did not respond to follow-up questions from Global News.
But a former intelligence analyst who reviewed the document disagreed with Eby’s characterization, and a Canadian Sikh organization called the premier’s statement “misleading and dangerous.”

Brihard - I'm curious as to your thoughts on the crown asking to keep certain infornation private in this case?
(I'm tempted to jump to an opinion, but it would probably be an ignorant one. You are far more competent in these matters than I am)
I don’t know anymore than you or anyone else here on the specific case… About the most I’d feel comfortable saying is that crown won’t voluntarily invite the ugly hell of disclosure and litigation in a S.38 case unless they really have to. It can delay things by a couple of years and just means a lot more work and expense for everyone.
About all we can reasonably infer is that if S.38’s in play, that means police have probably, grudgingly, had to receive and grapple with information that doesn’t come from within conventional policing and that consequently must be protected. I don’t think that’s ever desired; info that can’t be disclosed in court is the exact opposite of what police and prosecuting crown hope for.
As for whose info and where it comes from? Maybe in a while we’ll see the court allow redacted summaries of the info that’s being
Suppressed. S.38 doesn’t have to be all or nothing- the black boxes can have words on top of it to give the gist of what’s protected.
I’m definitely interested in how it all plays out.

That's why we have a Federal Police Force.
No? Public order policing is a matter for the police of jurisdiction- municipal or provincial. RCMP would investigate any hypothetical national security offences (participation in terrorist activity; terrorist financing or propaganda), but that wouldn’t be visible to the public, and it would happen separate from any public order work being done by whoever polices that area.
Municipal permits for protests are more a matter of municipal convenience. Protesting without one is not criminal. It’s up to municipalities how hard they want to push on that, but there’s only so far before it becomes a Charter issue.
Anyway. Yeah- clearing the streets of protesters isn’t a federal thing. In very rare instances, RCMP who are not also the local police of jurisdiction might be asked for assistance (e.g., Windsor and Ottawa blockades), but that’s assisting POJ, not inherent to the federal part of their mandate.

Complete 'what if'.
What if municipal police for XXX refused to uphold certain federal laws ?
In Ont, would that fall on the Opp to tackle ?
In NS, would it go to the RCMP ?
Honest questions.
Thanks in advance.
