My thoughts: On occasions like the G-7 or Olympics the #CAF provides support to the RCMP but does not carry out close protection for the PM, cabinet or family members. During visits to hostile environments specially trained military members have provided close protection 1/7
to the PM & Cabinet members. In this case, it appears from MSM reports that a serious threat against the PM or the venue was made to the point that members of the #CAF with ballistic blankets were deployed to assist, the PM’s wife was evacuated and Trudeau was forced to wear 2/7
soft body armour to protect against stabbing, handguns & shrapnel from a low grade explosion like a grenade or pipe bomb. But what wasn’t done was a rescreening of the venue by dogs & detection equipment, a rescreening of all venue occupants to check for explosives, knives or 3/7
any kind of weapon or remote detonator. Electronic measures weren’t used to inhibit cell service or insecure radio frequencies. These are basic security procedures that should have been followed. A closed in venue with a hard perimeter is by far & away these easiest place to 4/7
protect & all but eliminates the need for additional overt (wearing tactical looking clothing) measures or the need for the VIP to wear protective clothing. There is nothing about this event that make professional sense to me from the failure of a very professional protective 5/7
detail to follow the most basic procedures, to go forward with an event that exposes hundreds to danger, and the integration at short notice of members of the CAF into the RCMP protective detail which if there was an incident could cause confusion. There is absolutely nothing 6/7
about this incident that makes any sense, including Liberal sources leaking so many security details to the media. Lots of explanations from the Liberal Party, the RCMP & the CAF are owed to Canadians. 7/7
