McGuinty says no to a G20 public inquiry




So McGuinty has said that there will be no investigation into how the police handled the G20 in Toronto. Or how chief Blair flat out lied about a law and enforced a non existent law.

WOW there a shocker. Just like with 911, the criminals behind the problem will do everything in their power to stop an independent investigation.

It is up to the people to hold these criminals accountable for their actions! If we do not unite and force that to happen, it never will!

.Here is the article from CTV, that covers McGuinty saying no to an independent investigation.

Ontario's Premier Dalton McGuinty has said no to the idea of an independent public inquiry to review police conduct during the G20 Summit.

The premier said he doesn't think one is necessary. He made the statement in an exclusive interview Friday afternoon with CTV Toronto's Paul Bliss.

Two marches have been held in Toronto since the two-day summit of world leaders ended Sunday.

The protesters have called for an independent inquiry and the resignation of Chief Bill Blair of the Toronto Police Service.

They accuse Blair of misleading people about police powers around the three-metre-high security fence that snaked around the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.

Police had indicated they had the power to demand people within five metres of the fence show then identification or consent to a search. If they did not, they could be arrested under the Public Works Protection Act.

The McGuinty government quietly amended the act before the summit.

As of the afternoon of Friday, June 25, Blair had been advised this was not true. However, no news release was ever issued.

Blair has said that would have been the responsibility of the G8/G20 Integrated Security Unit.

The chief has promised an internal review.

Toronto Police, the OPP, RCMP and officers from police services across Canada were involved in G20 security operations.

More than 1,000 people were arrested, but more than two-thirds were only charged with breach of peace, a very minor offence.

Some believe the police over-reacted with peaceful protest after a group of militants using so-called "black bloc" tactics engaged in vandalism, breaking windows and torching police cars.

Many have decried the conditions that existed in the Eastern Avenue temporary detention centre. The Canadian Civil Liberties Association predicts many lawsuits will be filed and says that the McGuinty government owes the Ontario public an apology.

Possible False flag at the upcoming G8/G20?




I do not like to jump the gun on the possibilities of a false flag terrorist attack. But when I saw this report, something just did not seem right.

Just before the 2010 Vancouver Olympic games, there were reports of large amounts of ammonium nitrate fertilizer "missing". This was covered heavily on the Internet and even on a few MSM news stations. Thankfully nothing happened.

Now only weeks before the G8 in Huntsville and the G20 in Toronto, CTV news is reporting that a mysterious man purchased a large amount of ammonium nitrate fertilizer in the Niagara area late last month, and that Several law enforcement agencies are investigating the case.

I see there only being to scenarios.
First one is that the RCMP likes to use the excuse of ammonium nitrate fertilizer, to have the people accept the draconian levels of security at an event (in this case the G8/G20).
Or That these are attempts at a false flag event in Canada. The first one abandoned due to the attention the story recieved.

I would personally prefer neither of these, but I sincerely hope it is the first scenario.

Updates to this story will be coming soon.

Parliament Hill Mounties getting submachine guns

Posted by TJ on Thursday, April 8, 2010 , under , , , , , , , , , | comments (0)



OTTAWA — Mounties responsible for protecting Parliament Hill are being issued submachine guns.

The RCMP officers will be equipped with the Heckler and Koch MP5 submachine gun.

But the RCMP says officers will still rely on their semi-automatic nine millimetre pistols as their primary weapon.

The machine guns will be a ``secondary weapon'' left in cruisers.

RCMP assistant commissioner Pat McDonell says the weapon will also be issued to officers who keep watch over foreign embassies.

The RCMP have stepped up security on Parliament since a daylight protest last December by Greenpeace activists.

They used climbing gear and a ladder to reach the rooftops of the Centre and West Blocks where they unfurled banners taking aim at Ottawa's stance on climate change. (Toronto Star)

Police across Canada rolling out armoured vehicles




Article by: Douglas Quan
Canwest News Service


They're big. They're bad-ass. And they could soon be barrelling down a street near you.

Numerous law-enforcement agencies across the country have recently acquired armoured vehicles for their tactical operations.

The Ottawa Police Service on Wednesday unveiled their BearCat — sort of like a Hummer on steroids. And RCMP in British Columbia announced this week that they had acquired two six-wheeled, all-terrain vehicles from the Canadian Forces.



Armoured vehicles are also in use in Toronto, Edmonton, Calgary, Victoria and several other municipalities.

Police forces say these bulletproof vehicles — none of which are equipped with any artillery — provide an extra layer of protection for officers when responding to dangerous situations, such as gun calls or high-risk search warrants.

Authorities say they also help protect the public in situations such as in hostage-takings.

"It's certainly a comfort to be able to deal with the calls we go to using the protection of a vehicle like that," said Ottawa Police Const. Jim Hutchins.

The Ottawa service purchased its Lenco BearCat for $341,147. The vehicle's oversized tires allow it to go off-road and its height offers improved visibility, police said.

The vehicle will be used by the department's tactical team, which responds to about 50 incidents each year and is tasked with protecting Canadian government buildings, embassies and consulates. The team also responds to incidents at the Ottawa International Airport.

Unlike Ottawa's armoured vehicle, which was manufactured for police use, the B.C. RCMP's armoured vehicles — known as TAV IIs and which can travel up to 120 km/h — were originally designed for military use and have since been retrofitted.

The vehicles, which were acquired free of charge, are necessary because of Metro Vancouver's escalating gang violence, said RCMP spokesman Sgt. Peter Thiessen.

"Gang members are well-armed. Many times we have to be in a position to respond to that and ensure our safety as police officers," he said. "We know what these individuals are capable of doing."

Thiessen said an armoured vehicle was deployed earlier this week when officers went to execute a search warrant at a home in Surrey, B.C. The occupants in the home came out peacefully, he said.

Is it possible that the mere sight of the vehicle could make criminals think twice about engaging police?

"Visually, it is an aggressive looking piece of equipment," Thiessen said. "It does look intimidating."

Robert Gordon, director of Simon Fraser University's school of criminology and a former police officer, says armoured vehicles might make sense in the United States where there's a wider availability of guns, but he wonders whether they're necessary in Canada.

"What kind of urban warfare do police services think they're going to be encountering?" he said. "I think there is an element of this equipment being purchased because it's new toys for boys."

Gordon said, in his opinion, the line between civil police service and military service in the country is blurring.

"We're talking about the streets you and I occupy. We're not talking about Kandahar," he said. "What will they do next? Drive them into the fronts of people's houses?"

Staff Sgt. Kirk McCallum of the Calgary Police Service, which acquired a Canadian-made Armet Balkan MK7 for $250,000 in 2008, said Gordon's remarks are short-sighted.

He said his agency's armoured vehicle is used on a weekly basis.

It is not uncommon for officers to drive the vehicle, which is equipped with lights and sirens, right onto someone's lawn, he said.

"We have to go into those dangerous situations. This let's us safely do that," he said.

McCallum cited the remarks of Alberta provincial court Judge Peter Ayotte, who led an inquiry into the 2004 shooting death of RCMP Cpl. James Galloway by a mentally-ill man west of Edmonton. In his recommendations, Ayotte wrote that having access to an armoured vehicle "almost surely" would have prevented Galloway's death.

"What value do you put on the cost of a life?" McCallum said.

RCMP: Federal or Big Pharma officers?

Here are two stories that really make you wonder what is going with the RCMP. First is the story of Rick Simpson, and the second is the story of Dr. Eldon Dahl. Both men were not doing anything wrong except not going along with Big Pharma. Which is not a crime in Canada (yet).

Here is a brief overview of the story of Rick Simpson.


Here is Dr. Eldon Dahl's story.
Part 1

Part 2

Part 3

Part 4


Both of these stories happened in late 2009. About the same time that Parliament was trying to pass Bill C6. Bill C6 had text in it that would have given Health Canada and the RCMP the powers to search your home without warrant, and label anything they decided to, as illegal.

If this is how our government is going to conduct itself. We the people need to take action. I fear that if we allow tyranny like this to continue, it will not be long until we are in a full police state!
