🇨🇦 State power for thee, no accountability for me

A Regina police sergeant allegedly preyed on vulnerable women, and now the lawsuits arrive after the system did what the system always does first: protect itself. The uniforms, the lawyers, the procedural fog, the institutional throat-clearing. Only when civil suits force daylight do Canadians get the sanitized version of what reported happened under official authority.

This is the real late-stage Canadian model: endless sermons from Ottawa about trust, safety, equity and protecting women, while public institutions keep proving they cannot police their own ranks. The same managerial class that lectures normal citizens on consent workshops, bias training and gender doctrine somehow misses abuse when it sits behind a badge and payroll number. Canadians are told to fear decentralization, skepticism and criticism of state institutions. Sorry, no. A sovereign country worth living in starts with accountability that is swift, public and brutal for predators hiding inside government power, not another round of bureaucratic image management.
