Trust in our Institutions

[Lumber]

I still don’t trust the upper echelons of the RCMP. Or the Supreme Court.

Or the current GoC.

RCMP, sure. GoC, understandable. But the SCC? If there's any institution in Canada that is full of well-trained, experienced, professional, and non-partisan people, it's the SCC.

I'm with you, but I will add I don't trust rank and file LEOs either.

I'm with you, but I will add I don't trust rank and file LEOs either.

Agreed, though not because I think they are all or even mostly bad, but because all it takes is one zealot/bad one to ruin your day and potentially life.

Absolutely, there are defiantly shitheads in our ranks too.

Having said that I can only form my positions off of my own lived experiences.

While I have had positive experiences with LEOs. They are out weighed by the bad.

One group I have come to admire and trust are the NS DNR Officers. Every interaction, and I've had a few, has been mature, thoughtful and reasoned. I hold them in high regard.

I wish I had your faith.

Do you have any examples of where the SCC did something (i.e. made decisions) that you thought were partisan, ideological, illegal, or just patently wrong from a legal perspective? Not trying to throw shade at your opinion, but if you have such a negative opinion of the SCC, I would genuinely like to know what you've seen for my own edification.
