@kimlockhartga That's exactly what happened to one of the original lead cops who was investigating the #HighwayOfTears #MMIWG cases up near #PrinceGeorge. When he pushed for more to be done to solve the #murders - most victims were Indigenous girls/women - he was bullied/harassed/ostracized by almost everyone in #RCMP. He quit - was harassed after leaving too. He became a private investigator & continued to work on the cases to try & bring some justice for the victims.

B.C.'s #police #watchdog has suggested charges should be considered in the police-involved shooting of a man in distress the evening of March 28, 2023 in North #Cowichan.

The Independent #Investigations Office (IIO) of #BritishColumbia has forwarded the matter involving Davin Cochrane and North Cowichan - #Duncan #RCMP officers to #CrownCouncil.

RCMP St. Roch: Arctic Pioneer

The RCMP schooner RCMPV St. Roch is a Royal Canadian Mounted Police schooner, the first ship to completely circumnavigate North America, and the second vessel to transit the Northwest Passage. She was also first to complete the Northwest Passage in the west to east direction. ❄️ She’s preserved at the Vancouver Maritime Museum. 🇨🇦 #Canada #StRoch #ArcticExploration #RCMP

#rcmp crackdown on Mi’kmaq dispensaries reignites treaty rights fight
A police crackdown on Mi’kmaq-run cannabis shops in #novascotia is reigniting debate over Indigenous treaty rights. The #rcmp calls it organized crime — but operators say it’s protected trade, rooted in a nearly 300-year-old agreement.

I am frankly tiring of (e)mailing and calling #Albertan MLA's . Not saying I'm stopping, but they're getting to know me.

Otoh,

#Alberta , the #RCMP often open investigations on a 'complainant' basis.

Really, unless I am mistaken anybody in #Canada could lodge a complaint on that score, should they feel so compelled

Canada and the RCMP did/do awful things to Inuit. One of these things was the widespread slaughter of dogs. Inuit relied upon these dogs for food, transportation, and protection.

An elder I know remembers the slaughter. Her father was out on the tundra with his dog team when RCMP came to her community and killed every dog.

He stayed out on the tundra alone with his dogs for months. He had to keep the dogs hidden from the cops or those dogs would've been killed too. He and his dog team kept that community fed all that time. Without his hunting, they would have starved. rcaanc-cirnac.gc.ca/eng/173230 #Inuit #Canada #RCMP #DogSlaughter #SledDog #TruthAndReconciliation #genocide #colonialism
