    I think this might be a little different. It’s a private company, and I’m not familiar with the Rom situation. I truly don’t know the laws or rules that would govern this sort of thing. We shall see.

      Here are the contractors who helped build Alligator Alcatraz

      The other state contractors include Deployed Resources LLC, the port-a-potty company Doodie Calls, GardaWorld, Garner Environmental Services, Gothams LLC, Granny’s Alliance, Longview International Technological Solutions and SLS-WSP JV.

      GardaWorld Cash, one of several companies affiliated with GardaWorld — one of the world’s largest security services companies, according to its website — gave $5,000 to DeSantis’ Empower Parents political action committee in 2018. The political organization, which went by Friends of Ron DeSantis at the time, was created to support DeSantis’ first bid for governor.

      GardaWorld has also been eyed for Florida’s immigration agenda before — it was one of the vendors picked by the state to fly migrants out of Florida. A representative from GardaWorld did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Wednesday evening.

      It wasn’t clear to me where Canada comes in or what the ownership is, but clicking over to About GardaWorld it is clarified.

      After identifying an opportunity to consolidate the fragmented private security industry, Stephan Crétier founded GardaWorld (then Trans-Quebec Security Inc.) in 1995 with a $25,000 investment derived from a second mortgage on his home. Only a few years later, the company was making $40 million annually in revenue. Over the past 30 years, he has built one of the world’s largest security services companies organically and through strategic M&A.

      Mr. Crétier remains a highly-driven and engaged entrepreneur leading a strong bench of exceptionally talented and empowered managers. GardaWorld differentiates itself through a unique performance-based culture with strict accountability for operational performance. The company adheres to a deep ownership mentality with Mr. Crétier and management holding a majority equity ownership stake in the business, which is now valued at C$14 billion.

        Huh, so apparently the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA) is paying GardaWorld around half a billion dollars per year to do security screenings in over half of our airports.

        And guess what, they have a lot of complaints against them from both passengers and their own employees, per this article from Sept 2024:

        Link Preview Image
        Air travellers complained about ’unprofessional’ screening staff. Now the officers are speaking up | RCI

        Former staff point to 'toxic' workplace culture, but CATSA's contractor disagrees

            See folks, when people talk about rebellion, they dont mean “attack the US military”. They mean attack the enablers. These are all just corporate offices.

              its also shoddy construction too, its just tents, and temprorary housing. and its conveniently placed in the path of HURRICANES. other people mentioned its also placed where they will be deported eventually as one of the deportation airlines is based in florida.

                obviously they got this job because it’s the kind of thing they do, which has been public information for a long time, they even post it to their website.

                think of the range of what “private CIA empire” describes

                  I don’t mean to be obtuse, I just really am not sure what you are telling me. Are you saying the Prime Minister (Carney, Trudeau, Harper, earlier?) should have already shut them down?

                    I scrolled all the way up 10 levels of comments, where admittedly people are kind of riffing. You should do the same. The top comment is this:

                    Another beautiful canadian value that carney is talking about

                    And I don’t see anyone saying anything subsequent about shutting down of anything.

                    What I am saying is that this company is facially evil. They are not even putting on much of a show otherwise. They are likely violating all kinds of laws at different levels.

                    Any government can place laws, regulation and boundaries on the actions of companies which are housed within it. If you scroll up I linked to a federal department which does just that. Theymake decisions about enforcement. I think it would have been possible at any time over the history of this company for the federal government to make use of the tools at its disposal to prevent some horrors from taking place. Not doing so was and is a choice. This is a giant company and even if you or I just learns of it this week, the federal government has been aware of it for the whole time.

                    The other person was making a joke about Carney’s euphemisms. I think the government as a whole institution is to blame and PM is a component of it.

                      Thank you for taking the time. I think I was just pigeon-holeing myself in regards to this exact situation and how silly I found it that people were happy to blame Carney specifically within hours of a story (about a private company doing evil) getting published, literally less than a few weeks totally of them specifically doing this particular evil.

                      I agree with “the government as a whole institution is to blame.” For having this type of private business at all.

                        That timeline is horrifying, as is their LinkedIn feed. They seem to position themselves as a private militia for corporate interests. If the Canadian government had any spine whatsoever they would seize all of their assets immediately.

                        I’m beginning think all 1st worlds are a threat to humanity and that it’s naive to think they would ever stop. We are the product, we are the cattle.

                          well glad we settled that. 🙂

                          Let me know if Carney ever does anything about this after any amount of time… Other than offer them a contract, give them a business grant, or adopt some international policies that assist them in their evil deeds. Somehow I don’t think time is the limiting factor.

                          PS I did a websearch to check it hasn’t happened yet lest I be forced to immediately eat my hat. top hit is some job posting ala “GardaWorld From $18.50 per hour Carney, 08069, United States Full time” lol
