Thanks for the link Rob.. It is truly frightening that people like Ms Cukier ( a paid lobbyist) will put their own personal agenda ahead of the foundations of our society in terms of our basic civil rights.
As to the RCMP...even if (and that is an enormous if) one accepts their thin excuse of breaking in to secure loose firearms, how can they explain the uneccessary damage iof destroying doors and frames worth anywhere from several hundred to several thousand dollars each, instead of simply breaking a small window beside when that option was avialable?
People there have said that in addition to tracking mud all over houses, and rooting through drawers, closets, etc they say mounties smashed doors on houses not part of the flood area, smashed a door on a house (not in a flood area) and which was getting extensive interior reno even though told by a friend as they arrived at the house , there was no one, and nothing inside..
Aslo they apparently did not break into houses owned by mounties. (at least two)
meanwhile, the latest this week.
