The federal agency responsible for overseeing the Royal Canadian Mounted Police has found that officers from the secretive Critical Response Unit violated the rights of anti-logging activists in the Fairy Creek watershed, in British Columbia. Jeff Shantz reports.
The notorious Community-Industry Response Group (C-IRG), a secretive tactical arm of the British Columbia (BC) Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), has been "rebranded" and deployed against the Palestine solidarity movement, reports Jeff Shantz.
An impending investigation may shed some light on abuses at the hands of RCMP officers against Indigenous land defenders and mining and forestry protesters, reports Jeff Shantz.
Canadian police need to come clean about their own use of deadly force, writes Jeff Shantz.
