Is there hope in Canada to bring the nation into the 21st Century?
We will see. From the creepy TPS and OPP on up to the RCMP, we will see. Baby steps I suppose.

Canada’s federal prison agency has recorded 400 cases of discipline for employee misconduct and wrongdoing that ranges from sleeping on duty to sexual harassment and excessive use of force.
Twelve of these misconduct cases resulted in termination, which was the most severe consequence. Causes for termination included bringing contraband into institutions, engaging in sexual acts in the workplace, and associating “with individuals with criminality” outside of professional duties.
The disciplinary measures were revealed in Correctional Service of Canada’s first Annual Report on Addressing Wrongdoing and Misconduct, which was published on Thursday. The report covers the 2024-25 fiscal year, which runs from April 2024 to the end of March 2025.
“Breaches of conduct are addressed effectively, regardless of position, to ensure fairness and accountability,” Corrections Canada Commissioner Anne Kelly said in the report’s introduction. “Despite our efforts, wrongdoing and misconduct can occur, impacting [Correctional Service of Canada’s] reputation and public trust.”
Misconduct resulting in discipline also included insubordination, inappropriate touching, sharing protected information with offenders and being absent without permission. According to the report, excessive use of force accounted for most cases.
In addition to the 12 terminations, other disciplinary measures included 72 oral reprimands, 189 written reprimands, 124 suspensions without pay, one financial penalty and two demotions. Some employees received more than one disciplinary measure. More than 100 additional misconduct investigations were incomplete in the period covered by the report.
