Stockwell Day Wrong

Quebec police defend officers' actions at summit Updated Fri. Aug. 24 2007 7:09 PM ET CTV.ca News Staff Here is an Stockwell Day excerpt (and my 2 responces) from the CTV report: (...) Public Security Minister Stockwell Day, meanwhile, continued to brush of questions about a call for a public inquiry. "The thing that was interesting in this particular incident, three people in question were spotted by protesters because were not engaging in violence," Day said Friday in Vancouver. MY RESPONSE: COMPLETELY FALSE. The 3 officers were outed several minutes earlier along route 148 between train station & Crevier Gas station. The 3 officers were told by the real protesters to GET LOST and GO BACK away from the police lines. Moreover there was no violence in the area of the train station...the press corp, the Montebello citizens and the police own videos can attest to that! "They were being encouraged to throw rocks and they were not throwing rocks, it was the protesters who were throwing the rocks. That's the irony of this," said Day, adding the actions were substantiated by the video that he has seen of the protests. MY RESPONSE: COMPLETELY FALSE. They were never told to throw rocks. The 3 undercovers were told by the noir/rouges to leave the protests, repeatedly, for several minutes.

    Let me add a concluding remark: Federal Public Safety Minister Stockwell Day is
    either grossly misinformed, or deceitful. Moreover, Minister Day's
    embarrassingly incongruous press conference statements shed considerable
    doubt on his ethics, judgment, as well as his ability to represent Canadians as
    Public Safety Minister.

    For which public are you in charge of ensuring safety for, Minister Day?

    Finally, is not a Canadian citizen practicing peaceful Gandhi style civil
    disobedience included in your vision of Canada?

    Day doesn't care. He wants this issue pushed aside and he will not brush political feathers. Day's party wants Quebec voting for them and making a fuss about the Quebec Provincal Police, would be a poor political move. Quebec sovereignty would loose clout if the Feds interfered with Provincal decisions. The incident would also look bad to the Americans, if they were led to believe Canadians would not abide by their security decisions.

    Stockwell Day you are such a pathetic worm. Stop acting like a chicken-necked yuppie, pull up your pants and do your damn job!
