Re: Real security versus window dressing...
Another Security Games meeting this morning re operations at Boundary Bay.
One thing is obvious and that is the police are as confused as everyone else about what has to be done during the Olympics... The master plan did not take into account a lot of the operational considerations and this means confusion for everyone.
In my view, these security concerns are so serious that I wonder why every vehicle going anywhere near downtown Vancouver is not going to be searched.
A truck or even a car can carry a bigger and heavier item of security interest than a little aeroplane.
There's more to it than what we're being told. IMHO civil liberties and the freedoms that I thought were written into a free country's constitution are under threat. Are the authorities actually breaking the law?
It was suggested I am against the Olympics...
Not at all, I welcome anything like this that brings nations together and people together.
But Canada should put itself forward as a free and civilised country and not as a country as restrictive as China or the Soviet Union.
If such restrictions were in place during Expo 67 what would Canada be like now?
What will Canada be like 43 years from now?
