I'll Take Police Over Landlords, Thanks
I don't think a bylaw that encourages landlords to be any more paranoid or nosy is a good idea. Of equal concern for tenants is that landlords are not very good at recognizing innocent tenants. Worse, many landlords are not familiar with the Residential Tenancy Act, and a concept called the right to "quiet and peaceful enjoyment of property." [Of course if you are wealthy enough to afford your own home, you live in a less intrusive world than your less fortunate counterparts. Is it class war when those who make these laws have a choice to live under them, while for others there is no choice?] |

Drug Dog Educates
The jury is in - roughly 95% of my readers say they've got no problem with a drug dog being deployed in Edmonton's senior and junior high schools...To me, police should have to have probable cause before launching any search. Otherwise we're headed for a Communist-style, police-state society where authorities have sweeping powers to randomly search your vehicle, office and home. [Disturbing trend - we are led to believe, or it is true, there is wide acceptance of totalitarianism] |

Police Get Nod For Silly Raid, Translink Ranks As Dumbest
