Victoria Police test the New York Model

The Times Colonist is reporting that "Victoria police have charged 16 people after an undercover sting targeted drug dealers who were selling around homeless shelters. The six-week operation, which wrapped up on Wednesday, was in response to a dramatic increase in aggressive drug dealing in front of the Rock Bay Landing shelter on Ellice Street and Our Place drop-in centre on Pandora Avenue. Police found the bulk of the drug dealers were linked to a street-level gang that uses violence and intimidation."

“The level of violence had increased to such a degree that we weren’t just hearing from the service providers, we were hearing from the clientele, who said: 'I’m not going by the shelter anymore — it’s too dangerous,' ” said Insp. Scott McGregor, who heads the department’s downtown beat and bikes unit, which carried out the operation. Don McTavish, Cool Aid’s manager of shelter programs, said a few months ago, staff at Rock Bay Landing noticed a group of drug dealers hanging out on the block who refused to leave. The situation was so bad that some clients felt unsafe using the shelter, he said."

“Where we have to draw the line is on violence, on trafficking, on the aggression that makes the whole neighbourhood unsafe, McTavish said. McGregor said it’s intolerable to see opportunists profiting off of the illness and sickness of some of the people who have to access these facilities.”

This is exactly what's happening outside a homeless shelter in Surrey called the Front Room and in the DTES. Only it has been going on there for years. Insp. Scott McGregor mentioned service providers. He's referring to the sex trade workers there who are being brutalized by these predatory drug dealers as we speak. This is where the drug dealers are the pimps. They give the sex trade workers crack then take all their money when they get a trick to pay for the drug. There is nothing consensual about it. It is human trafficking and exploitation.

Ya see, not all cops are bad. Not all bikers are bad either. We need to set aside the stereotypes and confront the violence at it's root cause. That is the New York Model.

Police-involved shooting in Surrey

CTV is reporting that "at about 2:30 a.m. Saturday, police responded to reports of a suicidal man yelling on the streets in the city’s south end. Officers found the man and a 'physical struggle ensued,' the RCMP said in a statement. An officer shot the man, who died from the wound. One of the officers involved was also wounded by a gunshot, and transported to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The RCMP said the officer is expected to be released later today. It is unclear who shot the officer, and the RCMP said the circumstances of the shooting remain under investigation." From the picture it was outside the Fleetood library.

1130 News is reporting that "Surrey Mounties were called out around 2:30 to reports of the man screaming outside an RCMP detachment office on 152nd Street near 18th Avenue." Tell me the cop wasn't shot by the other cop by accident.

News 1130 is reporting that the police found a dead body in Vancouver last night in Andy Livingstone Park around Expo Boulevard and Carrall Street. Police believe the man was the victim of a homicide.

Abbotsford Shooting

The Abby News is reporting that "Five bullets struck a residence in Abbotsford early this morning (Saturday) but nobody was injured."

New pipeline leak in Alberta spills 5 million litres

CBC is reporting that "One of the largest leaks in Alberta history has spilled about five million litres of emulsion from a Nexen Energy pipeline at the company's Long Lake oilsands facility south of Fort McMurray. The leak was discovered Wednesday afternoon."

CTV is reporting that "The spill has affected about 16,000 square metres along the pipeline route near Nexen's Long Lake operations."

This is what people are concerned about happening in British Columbia. Voters who express those concerns are not terrorists. They have every right to express those concerns and every right to a fair trial when the government removes that right illegally.

RCMP shoot site C protester dead in Dawson Creek - Update

Global is reporting that “According to the police, officers were responding to a report of a male causing a disturbance at a public information session being held by BC Hydro in the 500 block of Highway 2 in Dawson Creek. The male had reportedly been damaging property and disrupting the event.” The suspect was wearing a mask and they shot him dead. Holy gestapo batman this is why we oppose Bill C-51. That is insane. This is why we oppose gun control.

I personally support the Site C dam. I think hydro electric dams are way better than nuclear reactors. Vancouver has a long history of green energy from dams- Clevland dam at the foot of Grouse mountain, Alouette lake, Stave lake. However, I realize many locals in the Peace River valley oppose the plan and they have every right to express their concerns. I also recognize that the concern about the plan being used to gather water for fracking is a very valid concern as well.

Update: Some people are claiming that the person the police shot dead was a member of Anonymous. The Free Thought is claiming the suspect was wearing a Guy Faux mask. The thing is we can see him sitting on the ground. We can't see any threatening moves being made with a knife if he even really had one. They claim Anonymous has threatened to fight back. Its hard to tell if that's a fake provocateur plant or not but the statement they made said they would fight back not shoot cops. Fighting back could mean many things including taking legal action against the police officers involved. Randomly shooing cops is not the answer. It appears that their first course of action is to identify the police officer that did the shooting and expose his information on the Internet. Stay tuned. This is not over yet.



Revolution News is reporting that "The IIO says police arrived on scene and encountered a man wearing a mask outside the restaurant, and believed him to be connected to the complaint. At some point, a confrontation occurred and police shot the masked man. He was taken to the hospital where he later died of his wounds, according to the IIO." No mention of a knife just a "confrontation." But the video shows he was sitting down on the ground wearing a mask. There was no confrontation with the police other then them shooting him.

This whole mask thing is a bit of a controversy in itself. Stephen Harper has made it illegal to wear a mask at a political demonstration. This illegal law has yet to be tried in the courts. I can understand the intent of the law. We don't want people wearing masks at protests when they are involved in criminal activity like vandalizing or looting whether they be activist, criminal or provocateur.

Yet making it illegal to wear a mask or costume in a peaceful protest is way over board. You can charge someone with wearing a mask while committing a criminal offense like vandalizing or looting but you can't charge someone for wearing one at a peaceful protest. Well you can but the court will throw it out. This matter needs to be tried in the courts. You certainly are not legally authorized to shoot someone dead for wearing a mask while sitting on the ground waiting to be arrested. That is murder. Anonymous has every right to lobby for a fair trial.

Operation Anon Down is confirming that the protester who was shot dead by the RCMP was a member of Anonymous and a member of First Nation Treaty 8. This murder was a colossal mistake. It is at this point where I will hereby make a passionate appeal for calm. We all need to fight this. Together. Lawfully. Sue their asses off. We are Canadian. We will fight for our freedom but we will not murder innocent people to obtain that freedom. The officer involved needs to be charged and tried. Do not start shooting random cops. That will solve nothing and will diminish all of us. Fight we must but we also must be wise about how we engage this fight. Peace.

Suspicious death in Coquitlam

The Vancouver Sun is confirming a scan BC report that there has been a possible homicide in Coquitlam. IHIT has taken over the investigation. Yesterday a City worker was shot dead in Burnaby but it wasn't gang related. It appears to be linked to threats made by a coworker. Tragic indeed. It made page six of today's Vancouver Province.

Surge in Surrey Drug Overdoses

CBC is reporting that "Police in British Columbia are advising drug users to be cautious, after at least eight people in Surrey overdosed on drugs within 24 hours. Surrey RCMP said the drug ingested was thought to be heroin, but analysis has not yet been done to confirm that no other substances were involved. Police have not yet said whether the drug fentanyl is believed to be involved, as it was in past overdose warnings."

Here's a crazy idea. Why don't we arrest the drug dealers selling the bad heroine publicly outside the Front Room beside the needle exchange instead of just issuing a warning with a free needle?

MP admits CSIS knew about the bomb on Air India

Today 1130 News is reporting a very important revelation. The headline reads: Canadian spies knew about bomb on Air India plane. The article states "A Conservative MP says Canada’s spy agency knew there was a bomb on the Air India plane that later exploded in midair, killing 329 people." That is a true statement. It is in essence a public confession of guilt because they didn't only know about the bomb, their handler provided it.

Then comes the Neo Con spin: The article also states: "In a late June speech at a Vancouver church, Tory MP Wai Young says the laws at the time prevented the Canadian Security Intelligence Service from telling the RCMP about the explosive device in June 1985." That is a lie. They were under a moral and legal obligation to notify the RCMP and remove the bomb. Now they can be formally sued for criminal negligence.

And finally the one two punch is delivered. That lie is followed by the ultimate lie selling the Devil's Blasphemous Deal: "Young told the service at Harvest City Church that, as a result, the Mounties could not remove the bomb from Air India Flight 182. She said the government’s recently enacted Bill C-51 remedied the problem by allowing greater information-sharing between agencies." Oh the cunning plan of the evil one! That is a malicious lie.

Admitting CSIS knew about the bomb on the Air India flight admits culpability in that heinous crime. Lying to the public will not save them in court. In the House of Commons you can get kicked out for calling someone a liar even if they are in fact lying. Not in a court of law. When you prove someone is lying in a court of law they can be charged with perjury.

CSIS had a handler that not only helped plan the Air India attack, he provided the explosives. Revoke the illegal spy bill which violates the Canadian Charter of Rights and Charge CSIS with murder. This public lie is an admission of guilt.

God is the author of liberty. Stephen Harper is an anti Christ.

The Drums of Jericho shall return. Tiocfaidh ar la.



Update: The latest lie is the MP has now changed their story and said they made an error. That fails the test of believability. They used that lie as the foundation for their argument rationalizing giving up civil liberty in Bill C-51. The fact that CSIS knew in advance about the bomb on Air India was the only true part of their argument. The CBC and the RCMP already reported that fact. They were using a known fact to sell their illegal bill. Kill Bill C-51.

Castanet is confirming the MP's original statelent to the church congregation.

New Horizons

Vox dot com is reporting that "At 7:49 am ET today, the unmanned spacecraft flew within 7,750 miles of Pluto, taking high-resolution photos of its surface and collecting all sorts of scientific data. But we won't see any of these photos until Wednesday afternoon because the craft will be focusing on data collection — not transmission — during the brief flyby."

Nasa released this image right before the fly by. It took nine years for the spacecraft to get there.

I didn't realize Pluto lost it's planet status in 2006.

The New Syndicate MC in Fort Mcmurray

It appears that a Cape Bretoner named Kevin Faulkner now runs the Syndicate MC in Fort Mcmurray. They work for Steven Szomszed who is a Nomad in Red Deer. The other chapter that was in the news of late for a brutal murder in Greece. Seemingly three of their guys jacked someone and took their drugs. Unbeknown to them the drugs belonged to East End HA. They ripped off one of East ends couriers in Fort Mac. Nobody said they were that smart. Nomad Steve Szomszed apparently covered it up with some bullshit story to his so-called HA brothers. L&R Not.

Surrey Shootings - Update

#Surrey #RCMP are investigating a report of multiple shots fired into a building at 18700 Fraser Hwy. No reports of people hit. CTV is confirming that COBS Bread in the 18800 block of Fraser Highway was shot at just after 2 a.m. Sunday. One worker was inside the bakery at the time but wasn’t hurt. 24 hr News has some pictures.

The Vancouver Province is reporting that there was another one a few blocks over on Highway number 10 where gunfire was exchanged between vehicles and two residences were hit although no one was hurt 10 PM Saturday.

The Vancouver Province is reporting that The Highway 10 shooting occurred just a day after another targeted drive-by shooting in the 5700-block 152nd Street on Friday night that left two men injured. The men were sitting outside their home when more than 30 rounds were fired at the house, one bullet grazing one man in the head and another hitting the other man in the foot, said a relative. A dark-coloured sedan was seen fleeing the scene.

The Vancouver Province is also reporting that there was another shooting in Surrey Sunday night which resulted in a fatality. OK I had this one backwards. Kim Bolan is reporting that someone was shot trying to defend their home. I thought the person defending the home shot the intruder. It's the other way around. Perhaps now is a good time to get rid of gun control.
