The UCP says addiction is a health issue, yet it continues expanding and promoting gambling. These nonstop gambling ads are incredibly triggering for people who have struggled with gambling. Public health should reduce harm, not profit from it. #ableg #UCPfailingeverday

Canada has little control of its police. The lack of accountability is very similar to elsewhere. The police call efforts to oversee them: micromanagement or politicizing policing. All policing is political, the only question is who are making the decisions of the who, how, what of policing.

Fraser called the actions of the EPS “reprehensible” and made it clear that he also felt threatened and that the police may have crossed the line into criminality.

“The veiled threat that they may release more information about this matter if they are not happy about the sentence I impose comes dangerously close, and may actually cross the line, into an attempt to wilfully obstruct, pervert, or defeat the course of justice in a judicial proceeding,” Fraser said in his ruling.
