Another story of RCMP abuses. They were also just ordered to pay a man $140,000 for bullying and employment interference on the same day as this story, and an already $100 Million+ (it will be much more than that), payoff from the government in a class action lawsuit, while the RCMP abusers aren't charged, and will collect a fat pension.
I will repeat this mantra again and again, don't shed a tear for Canada if Trump plays hardball and bullies them. It has been a Canadian past time to have the authorities bullies Canadians without any accountability. My wife and I experienced it first hand. Canada being bullied would be an example of karma for those who believe in such a thing.
Another corrupt police agency, the OPP, won't do a simple DNA test on the pants of a dead teenager and there is no outcry or push outside of one story from the media. You can find the story yourself, the persons name is Jay Boyle. Politicians don't care to apply pressure as long as the OPP leave them alone and their provincial theft ($350B in Ontario alone), even though it was a high profile story a couple of decades ago when six young men disappeared. Why don't they do a DNA test? What are they hiding? That's the Canadian issue...no accountability, no recourse, no problem for the OPP. Email Vince Hawkes if you find the story and are as outraged as others are.
Only in Canada do such disturbing activities occur while the nation passes itself off as a "democracy". There is very little liberty in Canada, remember that when you see Americans companies move to Canada and expect access to a free market. It doesn't exist here.
God Bless America, don't EVER become like Canada.
Psychiatrist alleges RCMP's 'attempt to bully' him shows historic sexual harassment apology hollow
A Vancouver psychiatrist says despite the RCMP's public apology to hundreds of female staffers for decades of sexual harassment, the force is still denying some of his patients' claims of abuse and sexual misconduct and trying to fire two of them.
Dr. Greg Passey, who specializes in treating first responders who suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, says less than a month after the public apology in October, two senior Mounties paid him a visit to discuss his medical recommendation that the force must settle lawsuits with two of his patients before they can return to work.
Rather than settle, the RCMP sent the women their final dismissal papers last week.
"You have this big public apology and about a month later the abuse of power continues, the harassment continues," Passey said.
Passey, who has had a front-row seat to the five-year-long controversy that has rocked the RCMP and culminated in the apology and $100-million settlement of a class action lawsuit, believes the public perception that the force is transforming itself isn't accurate.
His two patients in the process of being fired, Atoya Montague, a civilian communications strategist, and Cst. Susan Gastaldo, an undercover officer, are suing the force separately and are both on sick leave suffering from PTSD.
According to their lawsuits, Montague claims she was sexually propositioned daily by senior officers and Gastaldo claims her supervisor repeatedly sexually assaulted her.
They say the force is now in the process of unfairly firing them, and continues to deny all their claims, despite the public acknowledgement of decades of "shameful conduct."
But the public apology doesn't mean the police force admitted to every individual allegation of sexual misconduct. In the context of the class action lawsuit, claims are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. In the case of separate lawsuits, allegations will be tested in court.
