Don't Blame the Cleaners!

Looking at the stories of the RCMP's tazering the unfortunate individual at YVR, it seems that all the media types are missing the point. Review the history of the RCMP, and you'll find they were founded for the same role we see repeated here.

While we pretend to be a functioning democracy, Canada is a fascist state, controlled by an iron beaurocracy that has been in power since Trudeau managed to blunder away control of the functions of government. Prime Ministers come and go, but the mandarins are eternal.

The RCMP was founded to clean up a mess, and still see this as their primary purpose. With their allegiance to the bearucrats in Ottawa, the needs and wants of the common citizens aren't even on the radar.

Getting back to the YVR incident, the ball was dropped at least nine hours before the RCMP got involved. Ask yourself, under our supposedly secure system, how did a foreign person get off a manifested international flight and not make it through customs for ten hours? Suppose this was a terrorist targeting another flight, picking up preplanted weapons or explosives to end up on the other flight? There's a lot of expensive real estate within ten hours of YVR.

Would it not be reasonable to designate one person on each shift in the secure area, (its not like everyone and his dog has access), to sweep the area at least once an hour and check up on individual still there. A call for a translator, or even a staff member or a customer that speaks a common language, would have cleared this up in minutes, not hours.

As is often the case, the RCMP was called for a specific purpose. "We have a psychotic individual with no english, he's unruly, and we have a couple of hundred real customers coming through those doors in a few minutes".

As usual 'drop yer coffee, feet off the desk,' we got some trash to collect!

As they say, 'the rest is history'.
