Proposed RCMP Anti-Terror Tip-Line Ad Campaign Criticized

If the opinion of the RCMP is so low as to think they cannot tell the difference between a crank call and a serious tip, it is time to dismantle the force.

Get real already!

Most of these people are professionals who are, truth be told, the envy of the world for their skills and finesse. And I think I am in a position to say this as I am currently working off-shore where I have direct contact with non-Canadians every waking minute of every day and most of these are muslims.

The respect for Canada is tremendous and it is mostly because of the respect for the law enforcement aspects of Canadian life.

And the cost of this advertising will probably be less than the average MPs meal expenses in a year so 'whats the beef'.

My two cents worth.

No sig. No time!

I can't wait for the color coded terrorist alert warnings to be implemented. <br><br> Alert Level Red: Based on the Anti-Terrorist Tip Line, there's a 70% probability that Harpers head will be chopped off. You are advised to stay indoors and watch the 6 oclock news. Harper will be announcing new anti-terrorist legislation requiring all Canadians capable of using an axe to be fingerprinted and barcoded. <br><br> Alert Level Orange: Based on the Anti-Terrorist Tip Line, there's a 40% probability that a dirty bomb will go off in a city near you. Please stay tuned for a word from our sponsor ... Buy a radiation suit now and get 10 free anti-radiation air filters! <br><br> Alert Level Yellow: Based on the Anti-Terrorist Tip Line, there's a 20% probability that one or more suicidal terrorists dressed up like pregant woman will blow themselves up in crowded areas. You are advised to stay clear of any pregant transvestites that you may encounter in tight places.

There's only 1 level for our terror alert system. "Double Double".

Is that like the Revenue Canada "Turn in Your Friends" easy payment plan?

"I think it's important to always carry enough technology to restart civilization, should it be necessary." Mark Tilden

Notice how the 4 main parties always talks in terms of money, never in terms of civil liberties:

"The RCMP are planning an advertising campaign this fall to promote its anti-terrorism tip line, but the NDP public safety critic told CBC News it's money that could be better spent elsewhere."

How about "The <insert party spokesperson name here> thinks it's bad to turn people into snickering, tattling paranoid robots like the Russians were under the Soviet rule" ?

It's basically the same for the firearms debate as well.
