+10 Mounties have declared that tasers are lethal and should not be used unless someone is in physical danger. For example, if an airport user is wielding a stapler. (Which he probably was not.)

-5 Mayor of Surrey does not want regional police force..

-5 Governor-General doesn’t know that the Coast Mountains are not the fucking rockies.
