TPS, OPP, Peel Region, DRPS. The destruction of our nation is due to the covert Creepy Ones, often using kids of police against school kids!
This report doesn't surprise. After we are all gone and they and their families are judged in the next life, maybe Canada will embrace human rights. Until then, our reputation, economy and misery and national failures will continue, lead by Ontario.
China is exploiting our failures for their successes, especially against the U.S and in corporations here. They have inroads into many of our police agencies I'm sure...

OTTAWA — Canada’s federal police force is ignoring risks to confidential informants and failing to take “special care” during national security investigations that could impact groups like religious and ethnic communities, concludes a yet-to-be released report by a federal watchdog.
The report by the National Security and Intelligence Review Agency (NSIRA), which was obtained by the Star through an access to information request before it was made public, warns the Royal Canadian Mounted Police’s “dated” human sources policy needs “serious attention” to improve accountability and oversight.
While the RCMP has a “long tradition” of using human sources such as undercover informants and police agents in its mandate to fight national security threats like terrorism and foreign interference, the report says there are systemic inconsistencies and inadequacies in how the RCMP recruits informants and assesses and documents risks, including impacts on affected communities.
The report does not detail any operations that were unsuccessful because of these mistakes, nor does it uncover any illegal behaviour.
“To find out that it’s using an antiquated policy framework to deal with human sources, that it may not be doing the full kind of risk assessment that should be done by a force when it’s using informants, I think these are all important findings,” said Wesley Wark, a senior fellow a the Centre for International Governance Innovation who has served on Canada’s advisory council on national security.
“The most surprising finding for me, certainly was the idea that they didn’t need to pay any particular attention to the use of confidential informants in sensitive sector investigations.
“I was kind of blown away by that, to be honest,” he added. “The good news behind this review is that NSIRA did not detect any disasters in the human source program.”
