WATCH: Mark Deacon is the new honorary colonel of 21 Squadron at 22 Wing – Canadian Forces Base North Bay, taking over from Corina Moore, who served since 2020. Honorary colonels act as a bridge between the military and the public. ctvnews.ca/northern-ontario/…
Creating a separate agency is the right decision. An agency that is not a police service but a federal law enforcement agency. Its a big difference. Build an agency on people not titles and rank. I suggested this in 2015 for the Ontario Serious Fraud office.

Caledon, Ontario:
These two stole all the bags of firewood available for sale roadside for the second time in less than a month.
They have enough money for a +$100k Denali pickup but would rather steal than pay people for their hard work.
Make them famous, these people are turning Canada into a low trust society.
Today we remember the people who lost the lives and were injured by the terrorists attacks 25 years ago. The Flight 93 Memorial offers an opportunity to remember and thank the passengers who so bravely fought the attackers to save others.
It would be foolish to ignore the aspect of internal support and guidance that helped with 10 years of her gov service. Look back, look ahead and look at now. Canada needs to do way better at security. cbc.ca/news/politics/canada-…

We need to keep our eyes on the prize! My grand father told me 60 yrs ago that the most precious resource we have in Canada is our water. Not gold, rare earth minerals, oil and gas, but fresh water. The world is burning up and water will be the desired goal of many.
This is heartbreaking. Nims was a huge and influential motivator on the art of the possible. ŔIP

I am one of the people who looks at, and past, how she got to the federal govt then looks at who were her sponsors/mentors of support. It's not just the checks and balances it's the people behind her who planned this in our federal government. Find them!

This is where we fall down as a nation. We need to be serious about safety and security. It's all in. Full on screening. Security is not to be compromised by being nice. It's a fair all-or-nothing environment.

RIP Dance. You made everyone smile!
Slow Down for Dance
A long-standing tradition at the East Algoma OPP Blind River Detachment is the placement of a cruiser on the front lawn to encourage motorists to slow down on Causley Street.
This tradition was started by Constable Andrew Hall, affectionately known as "Dance." Always looking for creative ways to get drivers to slow down, Dance even tried placing a mannequin in the driver's seat of the cruiser. Let's just say it didn't go over quite as well as he'd hoped!
This year marks 10 years since Dance passed away following his battle with ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease), but his memory continues to live on within our detachment and community.
In his honour, the East Algoma Detachment continues to place a cruiser on the front lawn as a tribute to a respected colleague, friend, and proud member of the OPP family.
If you knew Dance, slow down and give a honk as you pass by.
Never forgotten. Always remembered.
Remember: Speeding saves only seconds, but can change lives forever. Slow down, stay alert, and help keep our roads and communities safe. ^bg

Ralentissez pour Dance
Une tradition de longue date au détachement de Blind River de l'OPP d'East Algoma consiste à stationner une autopatrouille sur la pelouse avant du détachement afin de rappeler aux automobilistes de ralentir sur la rue Causley.
Cette tradition a été instaurée par le gendarme Andrew Hall, affectueusement surnommé « Dance ». Toujours à la recherche de nouvelles façons d'inciter les conducteurs à ralentir, il a même tenté d'installer un mannequin dans le siège du conducteur de l'autopatrouille. Disons simplement que l'idée n'a pas eu le succès escompté!
Cette année, cela fait 10 ans que Dance nous a quittés à la suite de son combat contre la SLA (sclérose latérale amyotrophique), mais son souvenir demeure bien vivant au sein du détachement et de la communauté.
Afin d'honorer sa mémoire, le détachement d'East Algoma continue de perpétuer cette tradition en stationnant une autopatrouille sur la pelouse avant du détachement.
Si vous avez connu Dance, ralentissez et faites entendre votre klaxon en passant.
Toujours dans nos pensées. Jamais dans l'oubli.
Petit rappel : Quelques secondes gagnées ne valent jamais le risque. Ralentissez, demeurez vigilant et contribuez à la sécurité de tous sur nos routes. ^bg
