EXCEEDINGLY UNINFORMATIVE CHICK-A-THON PRESS CONFERENCE...

Injured Belleville Tactical Officer identified as Constable Jeff Smith...

  --  Special Investigations Unit Spokesperson Kristy Denette made it very clear that the SIU was in Belleville with a very narrow mandate to investigate the conduct of city police officers who had injured the civilian shooter.   Denette referred all questions about the criminal investigation to Belleville Deputy Police Chief Sharon Meeks who announced that they would not be commenting on the incident while SIU was investigating.  --  

It seems Chief of Police Murray Rodd did not want to touch this thing with somebody elses' 10 foot pole.

The bullets through the windows of the synagogue would seem to me to be a clue.

Jamie Speiser-Blanchet signing the fuselage of Canada’s first F-35 are cloaked in secrecy.   While Canada has committed to purchasing 16 F-35s, Prime Minister Mark Carney initiated a review of whether to purchase a remaining 72 jets the RCAF wants.   The Canadian military is now refusing to release records, requested under the Access to Information Act, regarding its internal discussions on the decision to suppress the image." --
