The Parliament of Canada pretty much demanded that the RCMP change their taser policies before the 15th of December. That deadline is now just about two weeks away. I'm sorry if I missed any news releases, but last thing I had heard was some grumbling from the RCMP (as opposed to a snap of the heels and a quick "Yes Sirs and Maams!"). Anything happened?
Given the recent comments by the Solicitor General of Alberta that tasers had saved "thousands" of lives in Alberta (an incredible claim; incredible in so many ways...), there is obviously room in the Laws of Canada to spell out more clearly that which is already the law.
1) Tasers are Prohibited Firearms.
2) Tasering (in many circumstances) clearly meets the definition of 'Torture'.
