    Canadian armed forces dudes get busted in Qc building anti-government militia

  • well glad we settled that. :)

    Let me know if Carney ever does anything about this after any amount of time... Other than offer them a contract, give them a business grant, or adopt some international policies that assist them in their evil deeds. Somehow I don't think time is the limiting factor.

    PS I did a websearch to check it hasn't happened yet lest I be forced to immediately eat my hat. top hit is some job posting ala "GardaWorld From $18.50 per hour Carney, 08069, United States Full time" lol

  • kids never even pretending to wear helmets on these things

    someone i know was going for a walk and chanced upon a mangled child waiting for EMS to show up

    52 per cent of all e-scooter injuries we’re seeing involve riders below the legal age

    Do they at least give these people and their kids some sort of traffic rules class or something?

    I don't know what the answer here is, it seems like a job for Public Health.

    Give away free bicycles? What was wrong with bicycles?

  • I scrolled all the way up 10 levels of comments, where admittedly people are kind of riffing. You should do the same. The top comment is this:

    Another beautiful canadian value that carney is talking about

    And I don't see anyone saying anything subsequent about shutting down of anything.

    What I am saying is that this company is facially evil. They are not even putting on much of a show otherwise. They are likely violating all kinds of laws at different levels.

    Any government can place laws, regulation and boundaries on the actions of companies which are housed within it. If you scroll up I linked to a federal department which does just that. Theymake decisions about enforcement. I think it would have been possible at any time over the history of this company for the federal government to make use of the tools at its disposal to prevent some horrors from taking place. Not doing so was and is a choice. This is a giant company and even if you or I just learns of it this week, the federal government has been aware of it for the whole time.

    The other person was making a joke about Carney's euphemisms. I think the government as a whole institution is to blame and PM is a component of it.

  • obviously they got this job because it's the kind of thing they do, which has been public information for a long time, they even post it to their website.

    think of the range of what "private CIA empire" describes

  • And especially with no prior information available suggesting a vast crime network!!

    https://www.gardaworld.com/leadership?bio=stephan-cretier:

    In late 2024, with the support of a group of sophisticated investors, he led the largest private buyout in Canadian history, and one of the biggest private equity deals globally, valuing GardaWorld at $14 billion with Stephan Crétier now owning 70% of the company alongside selected management.

  • It appears that they are operating in the open without any effort to obscure. I don't know this world enough to make any specific allegations, but the amount of death and suffering summarized there must be massive. You and I are just learning of it now but it is surely known to those in power. This website isn't even putting any kind of "human rights" gloss on it.

    Seem like corporate espionage, mercenaries, money laundering and similar. I also saw Crétier described as a "philanthropist" so likely influence peddling as well. One thing he does is BOLO a free-of-charge service to raise awareness about a dozen or 2 criminal nationwide like putting their faces on a track.

    If you have the stomach you could try listening to this Business Council of Canada Podcast interview with Stephan Crétier. From the bad quality transcript I guess it's mostly about the fluffy end of things: pervasive mass surveillance and gangstalking.

    Well, I think the answer is yes. It’s funny because when cameras started, all the systems of camera, I remember sitting with investors at that time. It was growing. I’ve always been looking for money. That’s for sure. So I’ve always been in front of investors. People are saying, “Your business won’t exist. For three guards, we’ll put a camera and a guard.” The problem is the more you put a camera the more you see things. The more you see things the more you need people to get involved. That’s been the reaction. You look at the growth of the security industry, the people side of the business. Since cameras have been there, it’s unbelievable. The growth is there.

    what we’ve done is we worked with a lab in Montreal to develop I would call a kind of technology that is able to amplify events when you’re looking for someone, when they decide to put a focus on someone. We’ve developed a system that puts a lot of pressure on the person using social media. We’ve been very successful. We’ve done on the first year seven cases. We’ve caught one person that was wanted for 15 years. The objective is not necessarily to catch more people, but it’s to get people to realize on the long term that the world might be safe, but if everyone was doing their job of being on the lookout, the world would be a safer place.

    Canadian company GardaWorld built Alligator Auschwitz

  • Years ago, I was involved in a construction project for a multi-unit residential building where wall and floor/ceiling panels were made in a factory and brought to the site to be assembled. Very similar to the article's picture where you see a whole room being lowered into place on a boom, except it was done face-by-face.

    It was a major fiasco because of an error made by the architect regarding building code. Normally such an error would have been correctable without too much drama, but because of all the panels being made up it was really difficult to fix, and a lot of money way lost. The job went way long, into winter, which further lost money.

    So my single experience, which may not be at all representative, is that these projects are intolerant to failure, error, deviation etc. If you could guarantee everyone will go perfectly, exactly the same each time, and no changes to plan then I think it's viable.

    Never heard of such a project in any realm but they might invent it soon.

  • The canadian policy of poaching health care workers from other nations is truely malignant.

    It's no problem to me if people want to move here for any reason. But the general idea that the health care system relies on incoming workers that have been trained and nurtured by other communities is definitionally parasitic. It puts us in a situation where we require other nations to have the kinds of problems that highly incentivize that kind of mass migration. If the Philippines solved all its problems tomorrow, it would totally destabilize the canadian health care system. It's shitty to put yourself into that kind of relationship.

    Cuba sends doctors everywhere, to help those who need. Canada only sucks in doctors and nurses. A real shame.

  • Until Toronto tries to welcome new people, stop delivering visas to people coming to Toronto. Shut it down !! Canada’s housing politics have convinced some cities can’t handle population growth.

    the PM approves visas between municipalities?

    Every time I log off for a week I come back to some totally incomprehensible situation.

  • Oh ya what happened to that site? tap tap tap

    Tildes is currently in invite-only alpha, and you must be invited to be able to register.

    I assume all the elitists complaining about the eternal september (including the 20 years olds) have sequestered themselves there which is best for everyone.
