No wonder our allies don't trust us. From the RCMP down, OPP, TPS, the border guards, which means these criminals are probably looking to spread into the U.S.

THIS is Canada. Organized criminals squeezing our corrupt, dishonest police forces and they buckle. I would be willing to bet that their own "collection of evidence" involved some shady, provocateurs who would be decimated when they took the stand.

Canadian police once again refusing/uable to pursue serious, REAL organized crime. They and the media were taking a lap after the original arrests, now millions of dollars later they drop ALL charges?!

Unless the Creepy Ones are manufacturing threats of poor, abused by their own youth, they are nothing more than glorified, overpaid security guards, especially those in plain clothes.



The high-profile, monthslong police investigation aimed at snuffing out violence in the Greater Toronto Area's tow-truck industry has partially collapsed, leaving six people who were accused of more than 70 arson, drug and gun offences walking out of court with their charges stayed.

Dubbed Project Platinum, the York Regional Police-led operation targeted individuals who investigators alleged were involved in a deadly battle for control of the GTA's towing industry. The feuds led to at least four murders, assaults, shootings and the torching of at least 30 tow trucks, police alleged.

In May 2020, YRP announced 19 arrests as part of the joint forces investigation in collaboration with Ontario Provincial Police, Toronto police and the Canada Revenue Agency.

But earlier this month, Crown prosecutors withdrew charges against six people who were being tried as a group.
