Back in the bad old days, I used to work for the RCMP as an intelligence contractor. Part of my work involved threats to the PM and federal judges. We got frequent referrals from the PMO demanding actions on “threats” to the PM. Most of them were nonsense and we simply filed them. Some threats were followed up if there was an indication of an actual threat. For instance, simply saying the “PM is a scumbag” is not a threat. There is no indication of a threat. Saying the “PM is a scumbag and I wish somebody would shoot him” is not a threat and there is no indication of a threat. However, saying “The PM is a scumbag and I wish somebody would shoot his kids who attend the XYZ school” *** is indicative of a potential threat. The difference -and the real trick here – is to assess when someone is simply angry (which is normal and permissible) and when someone is contemplating collecting information and acting out on their anger. (which MIGHT/POSSIBLY indicate a threat) The big failure in this video is that the police did not (could not???) demonstrate if the woman had made an actual threat simply beyond stating the fact that she thinks he is a scumbag. There is something known as a threat curve. If the complaints about the PM as simply that he is a scumbag/liar or whatever, the threat curve remains flat. If there are signs that the complainants are collecting intel/info on the PM/family and contemplating action, then the flat line starts to curve upwards. When that curve reflects a sharp upwards trend, it is time for action. *** Based on actual case involving a senior fed official

Something bad is happening in China. China has gone dark in reporting the following: land sales, foreign investment, unemployment numbers, business confidence, numbers of investors in financial markets, real estate valuation, retail sales, and even vital data on cremations. The only reason this would be happening is that the economy is failing.

ORGANIZED HOME INVASIONS Gangs of "youths" in Brampton/Mississauga are now doing organized criminal reconnaissance on houses. They typically do it in gangs of 4 to 6 youth with one older adult in attendance. They knock on doors later in the evening to see who is in the house. They want to know who is living there and what may be in the house/garage/driveway. Once the reconnaissance and assessment are done, they then chose certain houses for a mass home invasion where five or more individuals smash in the door and do their assault/robbery. Even when they are (rarely) caught, they received preferred treatment by the legal system because they are youth and come from a protected group. (Just a hint, they are likely not Mennonites). The new Canada is going to be great.

Bill C-63 (Online Harms Act) also has a retro-active section where you can be held liable for something you said on the Internet years ago. So, with the new law, an anonymous person can launch a complaint on something you said five or ten years ago. #thoughtcrime https://t.co/fZwPsczZ3N
