Ontario's privacy commissioner is probing whether privacy rights were violated when police launched secret background checks on jurors....
The information gleaned on potential jurors included their opinions of police based on, for example, their writing a letter to the editor criticizing police, any convictions they might have had as young offenders or any criminal pardons, among other things.

similar behavior here in BC resulted in a mistrial
Does anyone else find it disturbing that the police keep and collect information on someone who wrote a letter to the editor criticising the police?
Yes.
That's why I hope that we seriously curtail police procedures and bring back civil rights...
You don't travel much in Alberta, do you?
I know from friends of friends the Aspers (and any large enough family) bought cocaine from Bell's Wrangelers (should be corporate taxed and health surtaxed) circa 2002. Almost certainly shared in a party atmosphere.
Of course no threat of police surveillence or mandatory drug sentencing they lobby for in editorials (no threat of prison for judges and lawyers either, while poor lives get ruined you use the info as political poker chips). This is a war on the poor.
One of these days a poor person is going to find a way to retaliate. And then it will be proven the rich aren't gods even though they play like it.
...come to think of it that might explain why acompanythat borrowed billions only has a market cap of tens of millions. Oh well, so property taxes rise in the Peg to pay for Human Rights Museum and Stadium cost overruns (unless USA real estate triples before bond payments due). It isn't so much the Neocon mindset, it is when Lenny it 2008 said if he had to do it all over again doubling debt was still the right decision.
And it isn't their finances I care about, it is the same mindset is now controlling Canada's books. Is the deficit ballooning because of a Con MP cocaine addiction? Did the RCMP in 2005 realize the screwed their own future healthcare??

Ooo I am looking forward to the discussion of mandatory drug sentencing upcoming election.
I have Asperations the Harpocracy will terminate the Bill (or at least imprison some rich people).
I'm even thinking of learning some spam programming to prevent blogosphere from succombing to MSM censorship.
(sry for multiple posts)
...it isn't that I know this tidbit, it is that if I do hundreds of other poor Winnipeggers do. And across Canada Neocon-aligned families and politicans can be found via colloquial conversation who would make suitable sentencing targets.
Where Canada's rich are screwing up their McCarthyism analysis is in assuming we don't have an NDP or Charter Rights. There outta be an ugly ripper surcharge for Bell's employees that clearly should be clothed.
I wonder which Con MPs abuse prescription pills?
