December 11, 2015 Communique Page !1 EDITOR’S COMMENTS We continue to encourage Veterans to attend one of the many Koffee Klatches which take place at various locations within the Lower Mainland of British Columbia. These Klatches provide an opportunity to share coffee with other Veterans and discuss a wide range of topics. These Klatches are extremely popular with RCMP Veterans because anyone can attend and you don’t have to belong to our RCMP Veterans’ Association. Only cost to attend is that of your coffee. You can check out the nearest Koffee Klatch here. Our weekly Communique and website (www.rcmpveteransvancouver.com) continues include the latest details on various topics of interest to Veterans. These details are forwarded to us by various Veterans across Canada. If you have details (i.e. news stories, photographs, videos, general information) that other Veterans maybe interested in, please forward them to us at [email protected]. For those individuals who are interested in joining the RCMP Veterans’ Association (Vancouver Division), you can check out the details here. Our annuals membership fee comes due on January 1st of each year and how these costs are used is outlined here.

As you may December 11, 2015 - RCMP Veterans Communique Page !3 know, Working Canadians has waged a very successful campaign over the last few weeks to encourage Canadians to support leaving the TFSA limit at the current level. The support from Canadians of all income levels, of all age groups, and even of those supporting every political party has been overwhelmingly positive. Despite their claims to the contrary, if the government reduces the TFSA limit they will be doing so against the best interests of the vast majority of Canadians. After we launched the initial Working Canadians electronic petition about a month ago to encourage the government to retain the Tax Free Savings Account (TFSA) limit at $10,000, the federal government very recently created its own online petition process (which did not exist previously) and which just became available last Friday. Working Canadians wasted no time in getting ourselves registered on this new system, and this formal government TFSA petition is now live at https:// petitions.parl.gc.ca/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-3 en français : https://petitions.parl.gc.ca/fr/Petition/Details?Petition=e-3 If you could help by going on this site and supporting us that would be greatly appreciated. It will only take a minute of your time to add your name to support this important effort to permit the 80% of Canadians who work in the private sector, who don't have a rich public sector pension, to have a decent retirement. As the government made a surprise announcement yesterday afternoon to move more quickly on reducing the TFSA limit than expected, we wonder if they got wind of our very successful campaign and are trying to cut it off as soon as possible to prevent it from gaining even more traction. Please help us by signing this newly-available petition as soon as you can, and encourage everyone you know to sign as well. Also, I have been encouraging people to send a tweet to the Finance Minister @Bill_Morneau to tell him we want our TFSA left alone, as we don't have the rich pensions that Members of Parliament and government employees enjoy. Please send Minister Morneau a tweet and let him know what you think! Thank you very much for all of your support on this vital issue. If you signed our Working Canadians petition previously, thanks very much. We are now asking you to sign this new official government petition too at the link above. Sorry for the redundancy, but this government petition system has only existed for a few days so it wasn't available until very recently. Let's let the government know how much we love our TFSAs, and that we don't want them changed! After all, we pay tens of billions of our tax dollars every year so that government employees can enjoy very generous pensions. All Canadians should be entitled to a decent retirement, and TFSAs are a great way to help us help ourselves to achieve that. Working Canadians also issued a news release this morning: WORKING CANADIANS SAY HANDS OFF OUR TFSA -- AS LIBERALS CLAIM TO SUPPORT THE MIDDLE CLASS, THEY SHOULD LEAVE TFSAs ALONE. You can find it on our website http://www.workingcanadians.ca/news/ December 11, 2015 - RCMP Veterans Communique Page !4 This is a Petition to keep our TFSA's. As pensioners it affects many of us. Sending you the link to the official Government website. It only takes a few minutes to complete. Thought that you might want to put this out with your next Veteran's e- mail. People can choose to complete it or not. 4) NEW - Retired Deputy Police Chief Pat Fitzgerald (Port Moody PD) wife - Gerry Fitzgerald passed away on Saturday December 2015. Celebration of Life service will be held in February 2016. 5) UPDATED Vancouver Strategic Plan - Our Division Executive Committee have approved our new Strategic Plan and will be the blueprint for the enhancement of our Division. - Check out the Strategic Plan here. Should Police Be Policing Police? Recent NB RCMP Suspensions Spur Discussion - FREDERICTON – The list of policing issues in the province is growing, with four RCMP members from a rural New Brunswick detachment being suspended as the latest addition. The four members were of the Woodstock detachment, a force of about 20 members. They were suspended for “discreditable conduct.” - READ MORE Bob Paulson Says He Doesn’t Want Racists Inside RCMP Ranks - Veteran Al Bunn sent us this news article - RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson conceded before a group of First Nations leaders on Wednesday that there are racists inside his police force, a surprising admission welcomed by indigenous people, who say it is key to addressing the crisis of missing and murdered indigenous women. "I understand that there are racists in my police force. I don't want them to be in my police force," Paulson said to chiefs and other First Nations delegates gathered in Gatineau, Que., for an annual three-day meeting organized by the Assembly of First Nations. - READ MORE RCMP Commissioner’s Update On The Supreme Court Of Canada 2015 Ruling - Veteran Bill Sedler sent us this information just off the press - Earlier this year I committed to keeping you informed and to sharing as much information as possible as we work with our Government partners to analyze the Supreme Court of Canada’s (SCC) January 2015 decision. December 11, 2015 - RCMP Veterans Communique Page !5 Thank you for your patience throughout this process. We have all anticipated that there would be significant changes on the horizon for our labour relations environment, and some are nearly upon us. As we know, the SCC suspended its declaration of invalidity for 12 months to allow the Government to consider how to best address the decision. In the absence of new legislation by January 16, 2016, members would become subject to the Public Service Labour Relations Act (PSLRA) on January 17, 2016. Today, the Government has announced that it will be introducing legislation in the House of Commons in the new year that would provide members with independence and choice of their employee representation, the two key elements of the Supreme Court’s decision. I’d like to draw your attention to the Government’s announcement (http://news.gc.ca/web/article-en.do?nid=1023859), outlining its plans to propose changes to the PSLRA that would address the Supreme Court’s decision. Although much of our progress has been bound by Cabinet confidence, your best interests have remained our top priority. There is still work to be done, but we want to assure all members that as we face the dissolution of the Staff Relations Representative Program (SRRP), you will be supported.

For a variety of reasons, including that policing remains male-dominated, there are very few female officers in higher ranking positions in municipal police agencies in Canada. With few female leaders comes a lack of female role models, mentors, and the female influence in decision making at executive levels. This has had a broad effect on how police agencies respond to the communities they serve.

  • Moving Forward PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Executive Members of His Year Has Been Very Successful for the Federation
    The Official Publication of the British Columbia Federation of Police Officers Vol. 5 Issue 1 TransportationGreater Vancouver Authority Police Moving Forward PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Executive Members of his year has been very successful for the Federation. Our organization continues to grow and some of our The BC Federation of Police Officers PTinitiatives are gaining momentum. It’s actually a pretty exciting time, but it is human nature to focus on the failures and the frustration that ensues when things don’t turn out as fast as we would like. When I was first elected to this position, I had some thoughts and goals as to the direction our organization should be going. First and foremost we (the Fed Executive) represent you, the front line police officers, at the Provincial and National levels. Issues that affect one of us, affect us all eventually, so it is important that all Canadian Police Officers speak out with a united voice and that our message is loud and clear. The Federation should be there to assist you when you ask, not interfering in the way you police your community or run your Local. The Federation is there to protect your rights, to talk to the decision-makers and ensure they know what you want. This means talking with politicians, the media and anyone else who can help us. With this in mind, your Executive is continuing to restructure the Federation’s Constitution so that we can expand and truly speak for all the officers in the province. But change is not easy, and to be effective it needs your input and participation.

  • Chapter 1. the Co-Production of Policing and Protest: Hippies, Love Street, and “Grasstown”
    “We Were Not Playing Games”: Transnational Moral Policing in 1970s Vancouver by Brody Herman B.Ed., University of British Columbia, 2017 B.A., Simon Fraser University, 2016 Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences © Brody Herman 2021 SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY Summer 2021 Copyright in this work is held by the author. Please ensure that any reproduction or re-use is done in accordance with the relevant national copyright legislation. Declaration of Committee Name: Brody Herman Degree: Master of Arts Title: “We Were Not Playing Games”: Transnational Moral Policing in 1970s Vancouver Committee: Chair: Nicolas Kenny Associate Professor, History Joseph Taylor Senior Supervisor Professor, History Luke Clossey Supervisor Associate Professor, History Bradley Miller Examiner Associate Professor, History University of British Columbia ii Abstract At the conclusion of the Gastown Riot in August 1971, Vancouver Police Inspector Robert Abercrombie declared the evening “a good night’s work.” Using riot sticks and horse hooves, Vancouver Police violently dispersed a protest against marijuana laws in Gastown’s Maple Tree Square. The Gastown Riot, and the year of protests leading up to it, demonstrate a transnational relationship between police and protestors. City officials and constabulary organizations worked to preserve their vision of moral order during the 1960s and 1970s, buttressed by the slogan “law and order.” This thesis uses a comparative approach to analyze the contexts in which North American police organizations violently responded to protest under the pretence of protecting morality and law and order.
