The U.N has recently been going after Canada for our Justice issues and what they deem Canadas temporary worker program as "slavery", The issue has always been the constant lying, it is all our domestic apparatuses do. It reflects on us as a country that is subsequently viewed as dishonest whenever they deal with other nations.

The bottom line is that Canadas reputation globally is taking a hit, the Genesis often found in our policing.

The biggest barrier to correcting these lies is that police don't face consequences for the damage they do to citizens, often over decades. All of our allies know the truth now...


A judge has tossed a Toronto fentanyl case after finding police had no reasonable grounds to make an arrest, fabricated notes to suggest otherwise and then gave false testimony in court.

“To detain and arrest a person, and proceed to a warrantless search and seizure, in the clear absence of the necessary grounds to do so ... is a marked deviation from the rule of law,” Ontario Court Justice Christine Mainville wrote in a 20-page decision, released last week.
“If police officers were permitted to arrest people willy-nilly, on a hunch or without due investigation, the administration of justice would fall into disrepute.”

The judge acknowledged that excluding five ounces of fentanyl from evidence — leading to the man’s acquittal — was a serious matter, given the substance’s “destructive” impact and its toll on the community. Fentanyl is a powerful opioid pain medication that has become one of the main illicit substances driving the toxic drug crisis. It is 100 times stronger than morphine and very dangerous if misused, so much so that even a small amount can cause an overdose and death.

Mainville also excluded a half kilogram of cocaine and cash, alleged to be proceeds of crime.
