Solicitor General calls for civilian oversight of RCMP
B.C.'s solicitor general says he wants the Mounties to submit to provincial civilian oversight -- as do municipal forces, through the B.C. Police Complaints Commission -- if the RCMP want to continue policing 70% of the province......
A Lesson for Canada and BC: Obama’s White House Promotes New Open Government Initiative
January 12th, 2010 12:00am
Under a new open government plan released by the Obama administration, U.S. government agencies must publish their information online in "open formats" and proactively release data using modern technologies instead of waiting for Freedom of Information Act requests.
Agencies, to the greatest extent that is practical, should publish their data online in an open format that can be "retrieved, downloaded, indexed, and searched by commonly used web search applications."

Harper in Hiding
Why is Harper Hiding?
National Post: "In a development that suggests the Harper government has learned nothing from its attacks in the fall, the lawyer for diplomat Richard Colvin accused the government of vindictiveness in stalling its response to requests for the required funds to pay his client’s legal bills.
Every poll showed the public believed Mr. Colvin’s version of the detainee mess after he was subpoenaed to testify about his warnings that Taliban suspects were being routinely tortured in Afghan-run prisons. He was viewed as a credible, sympathetic figure by the public, but assaulted as an ignorant, unreliable Taliban stooge by the government.
I think Colvin should be the next Commissioner to oversee the Mounties. Here is a proven good guy!

U.S. Pot Calls the Iraq Kettle Black
Kut Central Prison, Iraq
"Staff Sergeant Thomas Heuer, a US military police officer assigned to monitor and advise the Iraqi Security Forces at the prison in 2008/2009, said allegations of bribery and extortion against prison officers were common. “There is corruption, but it is reducing, and they’re starting to adhere to some of the Geneva Conventions," he said.
Sergeant Heuer is obviously unaware that, in operations inIraq especially, the US government completely and absolutely repudiates the Geneva Conventions.

B.C. could dispense with RCMP, Public Safety Minister suggests
B.C. could dispense with RCMP, Public Safety Minister suggests
This article is a few weeks old, but I just came across it and thought that since over 70% of B.C. citizens characterize the RCMP as liars, the article is worth reading again.
I, of course, would like to see the RCMP replaced in B.C. The fact BC is by far the largest customer of the RCMP means that not only have other provinces seen the light before B.C.. but that B.C. could be instrumental in shutting down the RCMP completely, from sea to sea. (It's probably the only way to get rid of the hideous Cpl. Monty Robinson, too.)

Harper's Tantrum
Only in Canada: Harper's prorogation is a Canadian thing
" It turns out, no other English-speaking nation with a system of government like ours — not Britain, Australia or New Zealand — has ever had its parliament prorogued in modern times, so that its ruling party could avoid an investigation, or a vote of confidence, by other elected legislators."
When little children don't want to deal with issues, they sometimes sit on the floor and plug their ears. By shutting down parliament, Harper is doing exactly the same thing. It's you and me he's refusing to listen to. It's another blow to democracy in this country.
For example, among other things, I want another Commissioner appointed to keep an eye on Harper's renegade federal RCMPolice, but Harper's sitting on the floor having a tantrum with his ears plugged. The above link is a good story to read, and it has a lot of good links.

Lunatic Grants Bail to Lunatic
Effects of brutal Esquimalt stabbing live on
Alexander Escobar, 18, was arrested Sept. 12, less than 30 hours after the attack. He was charged with assault, assault with a weapon, robbery and break and enter in the case. He was held in custody until Dec. 31, when he was released on bail with conditions that include that he remain in Powell River until his next court appearance, scheduled for Feb. 4.
Another weak-kneed crazy judge strikes again!
So according to the judge, this cowardly home invading knife-weilding woman fighter is safe enough to be set free among us while we all wait for a February court date.
I think the judge is out of his mind- and that's putting it mildly. So here's what will happen.....
On February fourth the scum's court day will be set to sometime in the far distant future while the Crown gets it's act sorted out. Then they will decide among themselves the punk is crazy after all, and (if he doesn't stab another complete stranger in her own home between now and then) he'll be sentenced to visit a psychiatrist and/or maybe stay home for a while with a bracelet on. A jury will never see the case. I just can't think of an adequate way to describe how disgusted I am with the judge for granting bail to the lunatic slasher. Lunatic is a good start.
Side-bet: The stabbing slasher of helpless women probably has a lengthy secret juvenile record, and was never properly dealt with. How likely is it that his very first crime would be so loathsomely heinous ? Come to think of it- those would be good adjectives to apply to the judge too.

B.C.'s privacy office frozen, leaked letter says
B.C. now has no independent office that can hold the provincial government and nearly 3,000 public bodies to account under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. The previous commissioner, David Loukidelis, resigned on Jan. 19. He will take over Feb. 1 as deputy attorney-general, replacing Allan Seckel.
Carlson said with his absence the delegation of powers, duties and functions "have lapsed . . . and no one in the office can make valid delegations until an acting commissioner is appointed."
......Carlson said she wrote to the premier on Thursday but did not get a response. She urged the Speaker to secure the appointment of an acting commissioner. NDP Leader Carole James said it was a "huge oversight on something basic" that the government did not immediately appoint an acting commissioner.
"This is a very serious issue that the director had to write to the Speaker because there was no response from government," said James on Friday night. "The government has a terrible record when it comes to freedom of information.
There have already been complaints about the length of time it takes to access information, said James, adding further delays will undermine the public's confidence in the government's transparency.
The premier's office did not return a phone call requesting comment.
It bothers me- not only that the ex-commissioner left so hastily before a replacement came in to continue the work- but that he was given such a great job by the people he had supposedly been keeping an eye on.
Is there an important matter that would reflect badly on the government that he left behind on purpose, in return for being given the new plumb job? Is there serious unfinished business we should be worried about?

Nickolson was sentenced to 3 1/2 years in prison for child abduction, Internet luring and an unrelated charge of distributing child pornography. The mother is still enraged at what she considers a "slap on the wrist."
"These guys are nothing but a bunch of sick perverts," she said. "They do these things because the punishment is so little.
"He'll get out and do it again."

Over-sight of the RCMP : Letter to the PM
To: Right Honourable Stephen Harper
From : Status of the Status Quo
Received : 19 Jan 2010 10:16:19 AM
Subject : Over-sight of the RCMP
... it is not merely of some importance but is of fundamental importance, that justice should not only be done, but should manifestly and undoubtedly be seen to be done. Lord Hewart
Dear Sir,
I believe that crown prosecutors in BC are being lax in their duty to help protect the British Columbian public, and over- zealous in their efforts to protect the RCM Police. I perceive the prosecutors as enablers and accomplices of law-breaking police individuals. Of course the question is, how many people share my opinion? I know from reading articles, blogs and surveys that the number is significant and growing rapidly.
No one can govern or police without the consent of the people- and as more people become disenchanted, the ability to govern decreases. I think it's time for the Attorney General of BC to pull the system together by vetoing some of the decisions of prosecutors not to fully prosecute accused police renegades like the four airport RCMP thugs, and several others- at least two of whom here in BC are repeat offenders and still on the payroll. Even if prosecutions are unsuccessful, the sincere effort will serve to show the public that jurys made the decisions and the (dispicable) system didn't just make cozy little internal self- serving deals. It's the perception that matters. All governments know that. Our government just seems to have forgotten how important it is.
Finally- and this concerns your government directly- it gives me a feeling of disgust deep in the pit of my stomach that your government hasn't placed an independent person with a fixed term to over-see the RCMPolice. You know as well as the rest of us that the RCMP are proven liars in this role when they police themselves. You often say how Canada should carry out responsibilities in foreign affairs, yet right under your nose you are creating a third world style police force. Will that be your legacy?
Yours truly,

Cowards and Their Pit Bulls
B.C. boy expected to survive pit bull attack
If I was the judge, people with pit bulls that bit somebody would be sent to a jail 500 kilometers outside Inuvik where they would either have to earn their room and board in minimum wage- or be released with no money, no food and no transportation. If they elected to earn their keep, they could go when they saved enough after room and board to pay their own way back. I believe people who own pit bulls are cowardly psychotic menaces to the rest of us. They have to intimidate people to feel happy, but they don't want to take any chances about their own safety.

Canada: Third World Style Policing
As of this year, we no longer have a Commissioner to oversee the mounties, who are known liars when they report on investigations of themselves. This is extremely dangerous for Canadians. If they mistreat you in any way, you have no one to turn to. Just think about that for a minute. A letter to your MP might help but what MP is going to take on the mounties if the Prime Minister is too cowed by them to even appoint a commissioner? A letter to the editor might help- but if you 'merely' get treated disrespectfully (or maybe tazered a little) you won't get any print space because before long it will be normal treatment. As individual mounties see they can act with impunity, they will get worse and worse and the worst of the bullies and thugs among them will rise gleefully to the fore in no time at all. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. You won't want to be pulled over at night on a lonely stretch of highway. Without oversight of the police we are just a hair's breadth away from being a police state.
Why on earth would the Prime Minister turn over our domestic safety to the exclusive control of the RCMP, who are controlled at the top by a cabal of lying thugs? It just doesn't make any sense at all. Do they have something on you, Mr. Harper?

Government Appoints Gay bashing, Book banning Anti- abortionist
B.C. Government appoints gay bashing, book banning anti- abortionist to Social Workers' Board
How embarassing for the other members of the Board of B.C Social Workers ?!!
Longtime Langley and Surrey politiBoard of B.C Social Workers (brsw@brsw.bc.ca)cal figure Heather Stilwell is a new appointee to a provincial board.
Matthew Claxton, Langley Advance
Published: Friday, January 15, 2010
Heather Stilwell, a controversial political ally of Langley MLA Mary Polak, has been appointed to the B.C. College of Social Workers. Stilwell is a former longtime Surrey school trustee. She is well known for championing a number of controversial causes, including an attempt to ban three books about children with gay parents in the Surrey School District. Polak, also a member of the school board at the time, was a key political ally of Stilwell.
Read about Heather Stilwell:
"Heather Stilwell is a school trustee in Surrey, British Columbia. She is a Christian and is well-known for her opinions opposing homosexuality, abortion, and sex education. She and her husband Bill were involved in the genesis of the Christian Heritage Party in 1984 when some 12 people discussed the concept of such a party, which was registered with Elections Canada in June 1986. From April 1993 to March 1994 she was the interim leader of the party and ran in the 1993 federal election in the riding of Surrey—White Rock—South Langley. One of the most contentious policies of the Christian Heritage Party Policy is Section 6.4.3. which states: "Concerning the welfare of this Nation's citizens, we favour recriminalizing in the Criminal Code of Canada the murder of pre-born children, sexual deviancy, and pornography."

Crown Prosecutors in Cahoots with Mounties
January 16, 2010:
The Crown prosecutors in British Columbia are enablers. This means they make it possible for the mounties to get away with murder.......so when you think of bad mounties, think of their accomplices too.
Here is an example:
Cpl. Monty Robinson- the burzerk RCMP officer in charge of the group that murdered the man in the Vancouver Airport with 5 Tazer shots- later ran over an innocent young man of 21 and killed him. Of course, it hasn't escaped the attention of the public that this couldn't have happened if the officer had been jailed by the Crown for the earlier murder he committed at the airport, but that's just the beginning. The officer then left the scene, ran home and drank several drinks, and then returned on foot to the scene claiming he wasn’t drunk while driving. With the indispensable aid and collusion of the Crown, it worked for him. He won't be charged with drunk driving even though the Delta Police who pulled him over say he was drunk and recommended that charge.
A Jan. 15 court appearance was put off because after 3 months, the Crown says it still doesn't have all the reports necessary to even formally charge Robinson with anything!
The Crown appears to be delaying the case on purpose so that a judge will eventually dismiss it because the accused is entitled to a speedy trial.
What Next?
We should all be very concerned that such incidents aren’t giving rise to statements expressing outrage and disgust from police associations and courts. Robert Peel (founder of the London ‘Bobbies’) told his recruits ‘We are the people, and the people are us’. The mounties, in failing to shun the rotten apples among them, together with lax prosecutors and a weak-kneed attorney general are more and more creating an opposite feeling in the public mind- the police as a gang of armed thugs whose first loyalty- with full support from the courts- is to their fellow (gang) members.
______________________________________________________
Special Note:
Simon Fraser University criminologist David MacAlister raised questions Wednesday as to why Cpl. Benjamin "Monty" Robinson wasn't charged with failure to stop at the scene of an accident causing death. The offence carries a maximum penalty of life in prison -- the same as impaired driving causing death.
"It sounded like this charge seems to most closely fit the facts of the case," MacAlister said.
