The decision to rename Dundas Street is historically illiterate. -Henry Dundas led the legal team that freed an escaped slave. -He convinced Scotland’s highest court to declare that slavery was illegal. -He proposed an achievable plan to end slavery and the slave trade in British colonies. -Abolitionists later regretted rejecting his plan to end slavery and the slave trade together. -He ordered Canadian governors to respect the equal rights of Black soldiers. -He appointed an abolitionist to be Upper Canada's first lieutenant-governor, resulting in passage of the 1st anti-slavery/anti-slave-trade legislation anywhere in the British Empire. -He ordered that the military in Canada must protect the rights of Indigenous “nations” to occupy their traditional lands.

@CATSFORTRUMP99 @proudzionist100 @James_J_Marlow Evil to the core. I agree. I thought they were also canny enough to control it when they needed to, strategically, to manipulate world opinion, but they are too far gone. All them. Top to bottom. I see that now. That’s what I meant to say.

Not decent at all. They are blindly cruel and their morality is corrupted by hate. But, I thought they would be smart. The one thing they are good at is manipulating world opinion. Their treatment of the hostages has, however, harmed their cause. Their obvious cruelty has horrified the world.

@kyomizuko @cbcwatcher Stinchcombe is about pre-trial disclosure to an accused. The Code requires disclose to a target, even if never charged. Both concern disclosure, and to a non-lawyer may be confused.

@kyomizuko @cbcwatcher The real challenge is in the Criminal Code, which requires disclosure of wiretap surveillance to the target under specific circumstances.

@kyomizuko @cbcwatcher Enough fentanyl was seized from a BC lab in November to kill more than 90 million people. You think that was supposed to stay in Canada?

@kyomizuko @cbcwatcher Mexico doesn’t have Stinchcombe-like Charter protections regarding search and seizure, so the US gets better intel from the Mexicans.

Asher could have been clearer, but the point is that Canada does little to seize illegal drugs and precursors at the ports where they are flooding in. The supply is then transferred from Canada to the US over our porous borders. The absence of bilateral enforcement means the US is at a huge disadvantage in tracking the movement of drugs in Canada. That’s a problem. Without good intel on the drug trade in Canada, it is more difficult for the US to make arrests and seizures at the border.

@CircleofwillisD @James_J_Marlow Hamas leaders planned the massacre and kidnapping for two years, so I thought their strategy would entail keeping the hostages alive and healthy.

@ShaunTa35449795 Thank you 😊

@James_J_Marlow After Oct 7, I thought Hamas would treat the hostages well to show the world that they were good and decent people. Now I see that their morality is so distorted by hatred that they cannot control themselves. They revel in their cruelty.

@STEVECO25931178 @cbcwatcher I have to agree with you on that. Dark days.

The Criminal Code requires officers to get a warrant for wiretaps. Three months after the warrant expires they have to inform the target that they were surveilled, unless they get an extension from the court. The extension can be for up to 3 years, but only if they satisfy certain criteria under the Criminal Code. (These include whether notification might endanger ongoing investigations, individuals, or national security.) What I took from the interview was that the notification requirements are scaring off US authorities from seeking Cdn cooperation on drug investigations. It’s an alien concept to them that causes undue risk, from their perspective.

@DWCanadian @cbcwatcher Yes - @scoopercooper is doing an amazing job exposing this corruption.

My question was mostly rhetorical, but I get your point. This is not going in a good direction. Trudeau seems to think he can lie about Canada’s fentanyl exports, and he’s right because the MSM have been seduced by his unconscionable subsidies. They are sleepwalking this country into an avoidable trade war.

@BrendanCalder None other!

@george_markakos Yes - the age-old practice of scapegoating is alive and well.

@iwanttheproof Interesting observation, Paula.

@rupasubramanya Incredibly disgusting. Just know that there are many tens of thousands of us who admire your strength, courage and clarity.

@aSelfishMeme It was remarkable episode in British history. It wasn’t virtue “signalling.” They were truly virtuous.
