Pursuant to my previous post on Amerika... Don't regard it as anti-USA --
not at all -- we have similar villains right here in my own back yard.

The RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police, our equivalent to the FBI, sort of)
auditor today announced that the RCMP has been keeping secret files on more
than 45,000 Canadians whose content revealed nothing subversive or even
vaguely criminal. One such instance: a man dropped his daughter off at her
school, stopping his car in front of the house next to the school, which
reportedly was home to a drug dealer. Fourteen years later this data was
still on file, even though the man had subsequently been deemed a mere
father dropping his daughter off at school. Incidentally, it turns out that
the man inhabiting said house was never convicted.

A file, once opened, is apparently never closed. Well, at last, that
particular file is closed, thanks to the Auditor, and many thousands of
others as well. But it does make one wonder, From how many jobs was this man
excluded the prospective employers did a background check?
