I posted this link in current news, but it really belongs here. Just one of many reasons Canada cant be trusted...absolute gong show here, from the RCMP to OPP, CSIS and TPS.
35 New, hardcore mobsters running around in Canada, right next door to the U.S.
If America wants to know where the real security threat lies, do some research on RCMP and Canadian Police scandals. This, on top of them interfering in the free market of American businesses.
Prosecutors drop Montreal Mafia cases after questions about RCMP surveillance tactics
Crown lawyers have mysteriously walked away from charges against 35 alleged associates of the Montreal Mafia. The development is a new setback for a once-promising prosecution, but allows federal authorities to sidestep questions about police surveillance gear.
At Montreal’s Palais de Justice on Tuesday, prosecutors announced without explanation that the defendants, who had faced drugs, weapons and kidnapping charges, would be let go. Outside court, Crown lawyer Sabrina Delli Fraine would not explain the precise reasoning, but said questions “have been raised, among other things, about the techniques that were used by the RCMP in the course of their investigation.”
Project Clemenza was a technologically advanced investigation led by Mountie detectives with Quebec police. The marathon probe lasted from 2010 to 2016 and aimed to cripple feuding organized-crime factions. Police felt so optimistic midway through that they even held a news conference boasting they had intercepted more than a million supposedly secure electronic messages sent on BlackBerrys.
