Seems Canada has a record of exporting racists, creepy lying cops and socialists. I suppose you also take some of our best talent so it's a trade-off.

Amy Cooper, the white woman charged with filing a false police report for calling 911 during a videotaped dispute with a Black man in New York's Central Park in May, could resolve the case by participating in a program to educate her and the community "on the harm caused by such actions," a prosecutor said Wednesday.
Cooper appeared by video at an arraignment but did not enter a plea to the misdemeanor charge. The case, which had been on hold because of the coronavirus pandemic after garnering worldwide attention, was adjourned until Nov. 17 to allow prosecutors and her lawyer to work on a possible resolution.
Cooper made two 911 calls about the encounter, prosecutors said. In the call captured on a widely seen video of their exchange, she claimed the man was threatening her. In the second, previously unreported call, prosecutors said Cooper falsely alleged the man had "tried to assault her."
"Using the police in a way that is was both racially offensive and designed to intimidate is something that can't be ignored. Therefore we charged her," said Assistant District Attorney Joan Illuzzi-Orbon, whose last high-profile prosecution sent Harvey Weinstein to prison in March for rape.
Illuzzi didn't get into details on what actions Cooper might be required to take, but said the 40-year-old former investment portfolio manager would have to take responsibility for her actions.
The criminal process "can be an opportunity for introspection and education," Illuzzi said. The range of options could include some type of racial sensitivity training or a public awareness campaign.
