If prosecutors had devoted half the resources they must have consumed in an attempt to deny bail to Tamara Lich, maybe this guy would still be in custody and that police officer might still be alive.
A man charged in the shooting death of a Southwestern Ontario OPP officer was released on bail six months ago while facing charges including assaulting a police officer and possessing a handgun, court records show.
McKenzie, of no fixed address at the time, was arrested on Dec. 1, 2021, and charged with a dozen offences including assault with a weapon, assaulting a peace officer, assault, possession of a firearm without a licence, carrying a concealed weapon, mischief and possession of counterfeit money.
“These tragedies will end once c21 is passed.” Said every moron in Canada.
Easily prevented by locking up violent gun crime criminals instead of letting the roam free, but the libs don’t care about police or citizens getting killed. As has come to be expected, the majority of canucks are too stupid to understand this simple idea.
85% Canadians are confirmed morons.
All 32 000 000 of them diverse folks.
“…McKenzie, of no fixed address at the time, was arrested on Dec. 1, 2021, and charged with a dozen offences including assault with a weapon, assaulting a peace officer, assault, possession of a firearm without a licence, carrying a concealed weapon, mischief and possession of counterfeit money.”

But was not jailed for having his picture taken with a protester at an awards night.
Big city voters are stupid.
They accept the government incompetence, corruption, and fascism because they don’t agree with Tamara Lich’s politics while real criminals are robbing and murdering them after being released by the idiots that they do vote for and support.
Nobody ever accused them of being smart.
How much was his bail? I’m guessing they let him out for $500 as anything else would be racist.
Was the bail paid for with counterfeit money?
“If prosecutors had devoted half the resources they must have consumed in an attempt to deny bail to Tamara Lich, maybe this guy would still be in custody and that police officer might still be alive.”
And when the police say that the justice system should make it harder for violent criminals to get bail, I find it very difficult to support them in this cause. I grieve with the family for their loss, but it’s very hard for me to sympathize with the police after what they did in Ottawa on February 18 and 19, 2022. Dates that will live in infamy, at least with me.
Don’t misunderstand. I am all for locking up these criminal bastards and throwing away the key to let them rot. I just think it’s rather ironic for the police to be asking for this very thing after supporting the very same government that allowed this to happen to one of their own, so yeah… Sorry cops. Make the right choice next time when you have to pick a side between defending people fighting for their freedom, or a corrupt government hell bent on taking that freedom away.
If the police can find it in their hearts to support the people, they will find that the people will support them.
Nailed it FC. The details of this guys history caused me to well up in anger, knowing what Tamara experienced.
The response to The Convoy has definitely tainted my feelings toward police. I am aware of one cop that refused to participate . Only one.
AGREE 1000%………….very well put
and the raid on Ft. McMurray , and the two day zero action on a killer in Nova Scotia , a paid informant with a fake cop car they knew about
Raid on Fort Mac? Are you thinking about the gun grab at High River when police had to trapeze up through flooded homes (the army was not allowed to set up pumps to clear the subdivision and so left) to the upper levels to search closets for guns moved for save storage when basements were flooded) – and how would the RCMP have known where to search except for the gun registry which was supposed to have been shut down?
I grew up with stories from Mum about how the NWMP (and later the RCMP) were good guys. In particular, she remembered when their horse (drawing the buggy home from school) decided it needed a drink and plunged down the bank to the nearest waterway (this was western Manitoba, where the land is flat and the streams are in mini-viaducts). Fortunately, a local officer was near and persuaded the horse to get back on the road and head farm-ward.
I grew up in a small town where the RCMP were the local force and – generally speaking – they were great (though have a few family stories about them). The best of them worked hard at being part of the local community (heard of one who coached the local junior hockey team).
So it is with sadness I am seeing the demise of a once good and decent police force. Unfortunately, it seems the federales are intent on making the RCMP the equivalent of the Stazi. A sad end for what was once an honourable force.
NWMP was a territorial police force, a product of the NWT Assembly. The RCMP which slurped it up has always been an Imperial baton subservient to Ottawa.
Sorry MM – the NWMP was established in 1873 by the Canadian government and sent westward to maintain order in the new Canadian territories which had been recently been purchased from the Hudson’s Bay Company. Nothing to do with the NWT (where I lived for a few good years).
“So it is with sadness I am seeing the demise of a once good and decent police force. Unfortunately, it seems the federales are intent on making the RCMP the equivalent of the Stazi. A sad end for what was once an honourable force.”
Agreed. The High River break-ins and gun thefts were the last straw for me as well. No was was ever held accountable, either.
You’re being much more generous than I am. I have all the compassion for him that he had when he heard about Robert Dziekanski (murdered), Roger Kotanko (murdered), Myles Gray (lynched casino style, murdered), Kawartha Lake toddler (murdered), James Hanna (murdered), Suzan Zreik (survived, intimidated by police chief, her and her family treated like criminals after cops shot her, last time I have checked still fighting for justice against scumbags stonewalling her case for seven years).
Nailed it FC! The line peace officers will suffer for their most senior Leaderships support for illiberal political actions against legal and peaceful political expression. Luckie’s silence and failure to inform the PM of key policing breakthroughs via negotiation is proof our Federal Police are seriously corrupt and do not “serve” and “protect” the citizen.
Karen Yucki seems like she has suffered head injuries, and doesn’t fit the liberal mould as she can’t lie for shit!
This guy’s trial will begin with a land occupation acknowledgement and end with a healing lodge referral.
After what they did to us during Covid, I am all out of effs to give for dead cops anymore. Sorry, no one forced you into that uniform.
I no longer see cops as human. They are machines. That is all. Harsh. But they made their choice.
Don’t forget, cops are now assassins.
Justice for Roger Kotanko!
Cops are machines: reprogram, redirect.
I vote we fire the lot of them, seize their pensions to help pay for the damage they have done over the last 30 years, and replace them with robots.
And bring Constitutional Carry to Canada, make all heads of police departments elected positions, and the robots should be just Roombas.
Bureaucrats with guns
I say let him go.
Seems he’s only a threat to people who try to assault him.
Damn straight!!!
Amazing, it is like you two suddenly grew a brain cell.
Release him and his comrade immediately,Tamara Linch is the greater threat to Ottawa..just ask Justine’s Minions.
According to all our Ottawa Big City Liberals,Mischief trumps murder.
The police can take it up with the Crown.
The government doesn’t care about a cop dying if they can use it for propaganda points to disarm the citizens. You can guarantee that they will.
I can assure you, the Gov’t is afraid of the many combat veterans here that will brook no malfeasance on the part of Gov’t, nor its various arms..
It is all fun and games when the police can crack heads with impunity on the unwitting citizenry ..however; they will rue the day that they try that with folks who know how to fight back..
The problem, Kursk, is that it may be now too late to start to fight back. When the Liberals decide to send in the pony soldiers in the APCs to start confiscating guns there will be no one there to cover your six. That is a fact you can take to the bank, I mean the government social credit account.
Oh look, another Liberal concocted/manufactured “crisis” to which they come up with a solution to achieve their predetermined outcome.
They let a guy of “no fixed address” out on bail, who didn’t show up for his hearing earlier in December, and managed to get himself yet another gun.
But in the words of Hair-Leader Trudeau, the law abiding are the problem.
I pray for this Cop’s family. Being a good Marxist means pretending not to know things. Most of Canada pretends about everything they are told to pretend about. FILTHY LIBERAL Big Chief Spendy McBlackface will pretend to care about this too. Justin/He/her like a good Marxist will use the Oppressed vs The Oppressors Marxist logic and will convince the Canadian Lemmings that the Indian Killer is the oppressed. And millions of people will nod in agreement. Soft Bigotry of low expectation- “Those poor Indians” . I’ve lost a lot of sympathy for Cops as a group. They are as corrupt as most large groups with power. I will still pray for his family.
Spot on, one of the Toronto news station just mentioned generational trauma/residential schools. The media in this country has no shame.
What, no condemnation yet understanding statement from the PMO?
Jails are expensive racist eyesores.. Its best to empty them out and spend the money on social workers.. That’s who we are now..
If you want to see just where your society is going, look no further than the degrees the local university is handing out.. If jobs don’t exist for these professionals then they will be created.. Social work, green energy, gender studies and all the other transformative fields of study can not be left hanging..
The cart before the horse..
We laughed at gender study degrees because it had no real world value.. Then the upper class, government created jobs for them.. Academic freedom is the freedom to create a backlog of professionals that will “due to their connections” transform society..
Politicians are just along for the ride like the rest of us.. Hell, they tax us and hand out student loans to make it happen.. The student cry they have to pay the money back.. In what world can this plug be pulled?.. Not the one I’m living in..
In the Democratic Peoples Republic of Kanada, arguing with, or opposing, the government is a capital offence.
Assaulting cops – for any reason other than arguing with, or opposing, the government – is not.
Sorry MM – the NWMP was established in 1873 by the Canadian government and sent westward to maintain order in the new Canadian territories which had been recently been purchased from the Hudson’s Bay Company. Nothing to do with the NWT (where I lived for a few good years).
