Lately I have tried to bring to the attention to readers the underfunding of our policing agencies. Investigations take time, manpower, resources and equipment; all cost money. Now, it is time to fund these services so that Canadians may feel secure as our policing agencies clean up and clean out some of the scum operating in Canada. Good work, RCMP. NJC
OTTAWA -- The RCMP laid a whopping 278 criminal charges Thursday against 11 people for allegedly trying to fix immigration appeal hearings in exchange for cash.
Among those charged is Yves Bourbonnais, a 62-year-old judicial officer with the Immigration and Refugee Board who presided in both Montreal and Ottawa. Ten others, all Quebecers not employed by the board, also face charges ranging from fraud to obstruction of justice. [. . . . ]
[Between] 50 and 60 individuals facing hearings were offered positive judgments in exchange for cash bribes of $8,000 to $15,000 per individual.
Congratulations on a successful body of work! If the courts don't thwart your efforts with puff-ball judgements, maybe Canadians will receive justice. Perhaps I am much too optimistic. NJC
