    Thieves got away with $30 million US in cash from a money storage facility in Los Angeles by breaking into the building on Easter Sunday and cracking the safe. Now, detectives are seeking to unravel the brazen cash heist, reportedly one of the largest on record in Los Angeles.

      Me neither with Carney tucking tail and sucking orange rapists dick on the digital tax thing. To me the liberals and conservatives are no different any more. I will never vote for either again) not that I ever voted conservative).

          IKR God forbid he has staff that could … checks notes … keep him up to date on major international political actions that might impact his country. That would be so absurd, wouldn’t it.

          Reality is just a bit out of reach sometimes eh?

          It’s ok. Live in your weirdly specific 90’s movie trope where you are mad as hell at your BF but they have no clue because literally nobody will communicate and everyone assumes someone else told them.

          Or… Hear me out. Wait literally 1 business day. Then if he hasn’t said anything, be the change you want to see in the world and send this article and anything else you can find to him.

          Then by all means, bitch and moan if it helps you cope with this dystopia. We are all trying to get through. I just personally only have so much energy, I’d rather spend it on actual shit choices that have been made and not on something he has almost no control over and probably doesn’t know about yet.

              I really hope GardaWorld has all GoC and other levels of government contracts cancelled and they get blacklisted. But that would be the right thing to do so I doubt it will happen.

                Very interesting, when the ROM found out about Christopher W. Jamroz on the ROM board that was owner of the planes that shipped to El Salvador, he was gone within 24 hours. Lets see how fast our government acts.

                  If people paid attention to his history, yeah, they’d see it. What Carney did at the Bank of Canada and his various comments there are pretty telling.

                  The 2008 financial crisis, we avoided the worst of it because Carney and them were ‘slower’ to roll out the same dangerous lending practices that we saw down south, but they were still going forward with them – we just had less exposure at the time the US popped, so they were able to quietly prop up the big banks (and just the big banks, they let the smaller ones figure it out themselves) using the CMHC. Canada’s small FIs, Credit Unions and such, got through it without a scratch, because they weren’t in to risky convoluted mortgage block trading, and had various safeguards in place already like a shared liquidity pool. Carney’s reaction to Canada doing so well in 2008, was to demand that the industry align more with the international standards which had allowed for those issues to occur. Things like the shared liquidity pool were dismantled as a result. Fast forward, and Thiel and his buddies pop SVB – and suddenly regulators are making noise like “Maybe banks and FIs should have some kind of shared liquidity pool for this sort of issue!”. Carney’s comments at various events also displayed a blatant lack of understanding for the smaller financial industry players in Canada – likening Canada’s credit unions to spain’s private banks (which were run by oligarch-ish families, with zero underwriting due diligence).

                  The guy trusted the international community hierarchy / structure, more than the Canadian system. He trusted that hierarchy even after it had failed, while the Canadian approach had more success. He forced Canada’s FI’s to align with worse-practices, just because it aligned to international norms. He is not pro-Canada, nor is he pro-small business.

                  He’s still likely better than PP would’ve been.

                    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.

                                Trump is hoping to deny responsibility when hurricanes kill the prisoners

                                  What does this have to do with our Prime Minister knowing about a large Canadian Company providing services to build a concentration camp?

                                  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.
