More people have lost their lives in officer-involved shootings in Edmonton this year than in any other place in Canada.

King said such a review could also consider crime levels in the community. He said Edmonton's high homicide rate last year could speak to the dynamics police officers are encountering on the streets., crime in Edmonton has decreased by 17 per cent, but last month, EPS warned that firearm violence was on the rise. Officers seized 1,633 firearms last year, more than 500 than the year before.

Summerville said police officers in Canada review their use-of-force decision-making abilities annually and that EPS has a well-respected training program that emphasizes de-escalation.EPS's Reasonable Officer Response framework has officers consider environmental and behavioural factors, but sometimes, Summerville said, officers have mere seconds to decide whether to discharge a firearm.

Depending on the circumstances, she said, EPS often initiates its own operational reviews of officer-involved shooting incidents, "to determine what could have been done differently, identifying key learnings, and adjusting policy and procedures where necessary."

Former Guantanamo Bay detainee sues Canada for $35 million over 14-year imprisonment | CBC NewsMohamedou Ould Slahi is suing the federal government for its alleged role in his 14-year detention in Guantanamo Bay. Well the precedence has been set by the Liberals .. canpoli For all the human trash that’s going to comment on this and call him a terrorist, this guy didn’t do anything. Slahi’s story is well documented, he was wrongfully detained and tortured. The man is innocent, wasn’t even ever charged with a crime. JT will probably double that.

U.S. ambassador says he's confident Canada will strengthen its defences in the Arctic | CBC NewsThe United States' top diplomat in Ottawa says he’s been assured Canada will follow through this year on crucial investments to modernize its Arctic defence, even though this month’s budget didn’t include money specifically for that work. Don't hold your breath Mr Ambassador. Yes, we didn't put it in the budget for national security reasons, but we always planned to do it. We do a lot of shit that's not in the budget. Arctic? That's north of here, right? If Russia wanted they could fire cruise/ballistic missiles over the pole and take out all of our hydro dams and we have no current missile defense in place to stop it. What happens to our society when we loose power for months and months
