Complete and utter garbage. The police in Canada are truly a place where the corrupt and incompetent go to prosper. I live a hop skip and a jump from where this incident occurred.

Shit I’ve been through where charges weren’t brought. A person in Barrie (while I was stopped there to charge the car) pulled a knife on me and said he cut me. A person in the town here via SMS said they would fuck me up. As a child, the father of the kid who stole my brother’s backpack threw a rock the size of a golf ball at me and hit me in the leg (the cop who investigated I learned was a friend of the child abuser and played in the same hockey league with him).

Please tell me someone is organizing a protest of some sort at this OPP office. Maybe we can organize a water toy amnesty program at this office.


I think this reply may be a part of the problem with this debate. It assumes that the participants in the program are agricultural workers. This is traditionally true, but under the current program agriculture workers only represent 60%.

An estimated 15% work in food service, with another 10% in the broader hospitality sector. 5-10% work in construction.


Yeah, you never see the Cons trying that sort of thing! Disgusting libs using what a politician actually says and does against them - presposterous!
