AS A FORMER @rcmpgrcpolice#RCMP (Ret'd), and risking serious understatement, it is outrageous that @CommrRCMPGRC has decided to NOT open a Canadian criminal investigation.
2/5 IT FLIES IN THE FACE of the Criminal Code of Canada with respect to "act of terrorism", the provisions of which formed the subject of a decision by Ontario Superior Court Justice Belobaba.
AS A RESULT, there exist sufficient grounds, authourity and jurisdiction to warrant
3/5 the opening of a Canadian criminal investigation.
THE INTENTIONAL SHOOTING DOWN of Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752 with 55 Canadian citizens aboard (and 30 permanent residents), by any definition or understanding, constitutes a 'mass murder' event.
4/5 Original 7-Part Thread
THE DECISION by RCMP COMMR is indefensible.
FURTHER UNLESS REVERSED, it will strain believability that the 'shadow of political interference' has not fallen across such a groundless, flawed and unjustifiable decision.
2/2 IS IT REASONABLE THAT a refusal to investigate the murder of 55 Canadian citizens aboard #PS752 by an alleged "terrorist activity" might constitute a betrayal of the said Oath? **
"Canada's eight-month forensic examination of the destruction of Flight PS752 shows that Canada does not have evidence of its own proving the catastrophe was 'premeditated',"
2/3 A NUMBER OF points immediately stand out in the @CBCNews story. However, at risk of stating the obvious, it is not possible to assess these without first reviewing the referred unclassified forensics report of the downing of Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752 #PS752.
3/3 Language is as important as the information.
THAT SAID, and in closing, there is a general truth which says: "Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence."
THERE'S A (SHAMEFUL) 'Ministerial shell game' underway.

WHILE Minister of Transport Omar Alghabra addresses the UN International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) with a "symbolic gesture" for #PS752, it is done solely in the context of the Safer Skies Initiative, a Canada-established initiative protecting global civil aviation.
3/12
THAT SAID, for one of the worst mass murders of Canadian citizens in history, omitted was any mention that no Canadian criminal investigation is open.
IN FACT, RCMP Commissioner Lucki made her decision in spite of a recent Ontario court ruling

IN THE COMING WEEKS that answer will begin to take shape.
PLAINLY, Transport Minister ALGHABRA has not been authorized to refer to #PS752 as an «ATROCITY». He remains shackled by PMO @CanadianPM to a narrative that permits the use of "tragedy" only.
It stands out and is completely incongruous with the emerging fact pattern of this case.

IT READS ❮AS IF❯ downing of #PS752 was nothing more than a matter of negligence, a 'failure to take proper care in doing something.'

3/5 THE HORRIFYINGLY RUTHLESS use by Amherst of this crude form of biological warfare was callous brutality and a crime against humanity.
