4. The police can't stop every one of these kids leaving the country, or lone wolves

However as someone victimized by the abusers and liars of those working in the apparatus (and working the system for their own benefit), let me assure you they are wasting a TONNE of resources on non-threats for self benefit and to avoid embarrassment. Still ruining my life and that of my wife, yet I don't have a criminal record nor have threatened anyone, even after pursuing the diplomatic process. It's easy for the unaccountable to justify what they do, no different than Stasi of the former East Germany, who do they answer to?

In the American media there is constant scrutiny of the police at all levels, constant questions and accountability processes, in Canada you can't even obtain your information if you request it via ATIP let alone ensure that the RCMP and CSIS are operating within the tenets of the rule of law. It's laughable and upsetting at the same time. I read all mainstream media sites and there is a vast difference in media holding the apparatuses to account in Britain and America than in Canada in particular the politicians in these countries publicly questioning them. Certainly citizens in these countries understand what an abuse of power is and they point it out.

These abuses of power, lies, misrepresentations, money spent on surveillance of fake threats, money spent on surveillance of REAL threats with no plan in place other than to keep punching the overtime. All of these activities are a threat to Canadian security. In simple terms, when they are wasting resources on non-threats and activities to further their careers, ruin lives or avoid embarrassment, there is real harm that is being planned and put into action at the same time with nary an eye on the perpetrators.

Six teenagers get in a plane and leave the country and no one has an idea of this? One as young as 15 years old. The police can't stop every crime or every terrorist, I understand this, but you can be absolutely certain that they don't utilize their resources properly or such travel of so many would have been picked up somewhere by someone. It would be more understandable if one or two young adults were planning something, but so many teens who the apparatus know are key targets of these ISIS recruiters? even after all of the activities of the last year? Not acceptable and they should be continued to be criticized.
