“The underlying problem here is that the RCMP is presuming that a person who is engaged in environmental activism, necessarily, is a higher risk for engaging in criminal behaviour — that somehow, that you're voicing dissent, that you pose a risk of criminality,” Jack said, “and that that gives the police the authority to be investigating you, following you, collecting information about you.”

@NightOwl the previous d. Superintendant for New Brunswick have brought this up. the RCMP should never be a personal goon squad for a government, church, or industry. … yet they whine go full defcon crybaby when they get defunded.

And dont fall for the apologies. the minister for public safety is not sorry for the harm they inflicted. they are sorry they got caught.
