Ok, you British Columbians, you. Get what Amanda Follett Hosgood is telling you in this article: The RCMP got EXTRA MONEY right before SOMEBODY "attacked" the CGL pipeline. But NOBODY was ever listed as a suspect, even though 40 investigators pored over the crime. Do you get it? Does she have to spell it out for you? We should demand an itemized budget for how that extra money was spent. Bet there was snow-camo outfits among the receipts . #BCpoli #wetsuweten #landback #rcmp https://thetyee.ca/News/2023/09/11/RCMP-Spending-on-CGL-Pipeline/

Heavy on the sarcasm and irony! An Honest Government ad urging people to "Visit Canada". Unfortunately all of this is factual and is happening in Canada today. Of course there is lots more than this, but after all, it is an "honest" government ad. #fossilfuels #democracy #canada #corruption #rcmp #cirg #wetsuweten

Another disgusting case of judicial collusion where a police officer will get away with a crime without a record despite massive evidence. They were quick to trot out the officer's background as though it were an excuse instead of reasons why she should never have been a cop, ignoring the woman in a mental health crisis who was attacked by the person who was supposed to help her.
Has #Clark resigned yet for his epic failure to address #housingaffordability and his failure in overseeing the #greenbelt land swap?
According to this handy website, still nope!

The #RCMP is preventing volunteers, who previously have been instrumental in fighting wildfires in #Canada, from fighting wildfires anymore, and the state is cutting off water supply to fire hydrants as well.
Expect more wildfires, and for the government to blame climate change for their severity and prominence.

Doug Ford = mini, mini Trump
RCMP Investigates Ford Corruption
If they can investigate criminal acts by a former president in USA, they can certainly do it in Canada.
Doug Ford is guilty; at least of enabling the ravaging of Ontario's greenbelt, if not also of profiteering and conspiracy to defraud the public of its heritage, environmental health and deregulated development by mega money corporations.
#rcmp #dougford #environment #ontario #onpoli
The #OPP passed the investigation of Doug Ford's #greenbelt scandal to the #RCMP, to avoid potential conflict of interest. Sounds like a good idea, but why now, not when the investigation began? Raises more questions than it answers.

#RCMP is blocking volunteers from supplying resources to fire victims
The director of wildfire operations in BC Cliff Chapman admitted that they started the fires with a planned ignition and that they did this even though they knew strong winds were approaching.
Since then the RCMP have ordered local police to stop anyone from entering the area in an effort to “prevent looting”.

“Policing" is broken, see below. You will need to convince me that a) it is that much different in Canada and b) that if we stopped using cars so much, police wouldn't perhaps find a better use of their time than traffic stops and "pro-active” policing.
"In 2019, 88% of the time L.A. County sheriff’s officers spent on stops was for officer-initiated stops rather than in response to calls. The overwhelming majority of that time – 79% – was spent on traffic violations. By contrast, just 11% of those hours was spent on stops based on reasonable suspicion of a crime.
In Riverside, about 83% of deputies’ time spent on officer-initiated stops went toward traffic violations, and just 7% on stops based on reasonable suspicion.
Moreover, most of the stops are pointless, other than inconveniencing citizens, or worse – “a routine practice of pretextual stops,” researchers wrote. Roughly three out of every four hours that Sacramento sheriff’s officers spent investigating traffic violations were for stops that ended in warnings, or no action, for example.”

I still am unable to share photos of how #RCMP with OK from #BCNDP #NewDeathParty call to actions resulted in fucking #RCMPCIRG to tear apart the accessible bathrooms I designed - trauma lingers & I have a lawsuit still in the air.
We were the first to build accessible bathrooms in remote blockade camps. I built the very first fully accessible wellness centre at a blockade too.

General David Petraeus might be familiar if you followed the U.S. invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan. As the top commander in the so-called “War on Terror,” Petraeus wrote the U.S. military field manual on counterinsurgency warfare.
Now those tactics are being used against Indigenous people and other civilians in B.C. to suppress resistance to oil and gas pipelines.

I identify as a loud mouthed squinty eyed #Teochew bitch with a lot to say about injustice. I also post a lot about my plants/garden, rewilding & conservation works, visual arts(my own & others), frequently share music, randomly share life experiences & am highly confrontational with bigots/racists - before I block their asshats. I'm a longtime #POC activist & don't tolerate sealioning or mansplaining or greenwashing douchenozzles.
I have MASS HATE ONS for #RCMP & #BCNDP #NewDeathParty 👊

#ForestProtectors Arrested at #FairyCreek
By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, August 16, 2023
"Three forest protectors were arrested on Tuesday protecting the old-growth forests west of Victoria, as Canada continues to target #NativePeople with police operatives protecting the interest of destructive industries. The police ops are #BritishColumbia's C-IRG, the Community #Industry Response Group.
"Mourning the invasion of the #MilitarizedPolice squad who arrested the #ForestDefenders, who were his guests, #Pacheedaht #FirstNation Elder Bill Jones said, 'We are at the end times of our great forests.'
"Abolish C-IRG said, 'Due to the increasing amount of #indigenous-led anti-resource extraction movements in British Columbia, the Community-Industry Response Group was born. C-IRG is unique to British Columbia. They are militarized, have no budget limit, and the officers get paid handsomely to force #pipelines, #mines, #dams, and #logging through unceded #IndigenousTerritories, without consent. This is just another extension of the #RCMP’s original task- to remove and separate people from the land and enforce #ColonialRule. They do not keep us safe, they protect #capital."
Background: Back to Fairy Creek
"The last time the world was watching Fairy Creek, we witnessed the largest act of #CivilDisobedience in #CanadianHistory. Well over 1,000 Indigenous and non-Indigenous forest defenders were arrested by the RCMP over months of tense standoffs in 2021 as #activists sought to halt the logging of rare #AncientTrees.
"The courts hammered that movement, with charges and bail conditions keeping many away, and the tussle in the trees went dormant for most of the last two years.
"Until now.
"A new blockade, led by #IndigenousYouth and supported by non-Indigenous allies, has just been erected on a key bridge crossing an arterial logging road. The RCMP's specialized tactical team that responds to land defence actions is present and surveilling the camp. A raid could come any day, and having #media on the ground is of crucial importance to keep tabs on police and document the latest developments as land defenders seek to protect their unceded territories from old-growth logging."

Oh, and for those thinking #DougFord is gonna be investigated by the #OPP, well that shit is never gonna happen. The OPP flew him on a charter flight to his wiener fest in Windsor this weekend. They are obviously bought and paid for by Ford and are as corrupt as he is. Time for the #RCMP to get involved and throw that fat fuck in jail #Mastodon #Toronto #onpoli

RCMP Begin Shifting Their Messaging Focus to Social Media Following News Links Block
The RCMP is reconsidering their communication strategy after Meta began blocking news links in Canada. They're moving online.
Meta's announcement that they will begin blocking news links has been a sharp rebuff

Prosecutors in #BC have withdrawn cases against nearly 150 protesters who were arrested for participating in a blockade around old-growth logging on #VancouverIsland after a judge this year found #RCMP Mounties did not read the full text of a court order to the group.
The action comes hours after the Supreme Court of Canada #SCC said it would not hear the Crown's appeal of another protester's acquittal.
