“We know that the money launderers are here, that they’re already rich, they’re already experts and they’re clearly better resourced," he said."What I really want to come out of this is a significant shift in how law enforcement around this issue is approached.” The findings were delivered on Friday to the federal Organized Crime Reduction Minister, Bill Blair. Mr. Blair’s office provided a written statement on Monday, noting that Ottawa has committed significant new funding and additional Criminal Code powers in response to concerns raised by Mr. Eby last year.

Morning Update: Breaking down the Wilson-Raybould and Philpott caucus expulsionsAlso: Canada’s environmental watchdog says Ottawa isn’t doing enough to fight climate change The liberal party has no issue with JWR (or her staffers) taking detailed notes... JT can interpret the situation differently when there are only notes. When JT’s good buddy is caught with irrevocable evidence of lying and pressuring JWR, the entire caucus lose their minds. As a FirstNation I more worried about the ClimateChange report that was just released. JWR seems more interested in helping the Conservatives. Climate change looms large for FN treaty & inherent rights. I ain't mad at Liberals for expelling her it's about Canada's future. Let's think how to end or improve the de facto dictatorship in current Canadian politics/parties! Any member of any political parties in Canada: can the leader of your party be criticized? Do you always have to say 'positive' things of your leader?

Ottawa Public Health warns about highly infectious measles case in cityOttawa Public Health is urging people to take precautions following a confirmed case of measles in the city. Makes me happy I had an MMR antibody count done a while back last time there was a scare. Not that I will ever chance it, but at least I'm covered if there are more idiots out there. If a vaccine is available, and declined, all health care costs should be out-of-pocket. Anti-vaxxers have now become a financial liability to our already strained health care system.
