Both officers are under investigation by the force's professional standards unit following an incident that happened Sunday, according to Mark Pugash, a spokesperson for Toronto Police Service. CBC News has learned the officers, who work at 13 Division, were on duty not far from the station at Eglinton Avenue West and Allen Road when they allegedly ingested pot edibles. Police sources tell CBC News the officers began to complain of "hallucinations" and one made a call for an officer needing assistance. Both officers were found in a police vehicle and later treated in hospital. During the call, another officer responding to the scene slipped on ice and required medical attention. That officer suffered a head injury. Toronto police 13 divisionThe officers, who work out of 13 Division, are believed to have eaten marijuana edibles causing them to hallucinate. One called for assistance while on duty Sunday, according to police sources. (Adrian Cheung/CBC) Over the weekend, Toronto police carried out a raid at Community Cannabis Clinic, a marijuana dispensary at St. Clair Avenue West near Dufferin Street. Sources tell CBC News the marijuana edibles the officers ingested are believed to have come from this dispensary. It's unclear if the officers participated in the raid over the weekend. CBC News has learned the officers under investigation are Const. Vittorio Dominelli and his partner. Dominelli serves in 13 Division's neighbourhood resources officer unit, according to Toronto Police Service's website. CBC News has not been able to confirm the name of Dominelli's partner. No criminal charges have been laid against the officers pending the outcome of the investigation by the force's professional standards unit. The professional standards unit is obligated to investigate complaints of misconduct under Ontario's Police Services Act. This branch is responsible for overseeing police practices, conduct, appearance, ethics and integrity.
BansheeOne Posted March 27, 2018 Posted March 27, 2018 I’m not rude, just French, says Canadian server who was fired for ‘combative’ attitude by Marwa Eltagouri March 27 at 6:12 AM Guillaume Rey isn’t rude. He’s just French. That’s what the server argued in a discrimination complaint against a Vancouver Milestones chain restaurant and its parent company, Cara Operations, in the wake of his firing in August. While the manager maintains that Rey was popular among customers, he claimed the French server was “combative and aggressive” toward his co-workers. But Rey alleges the manager’s accusations are a form of “discrimination against my culture,” which “tends to be more direct and expressive,” according to his complaint. He also said he was fired because of his “direct, honest and professional personality,” which he developed during his time in the French hospitality industry. It’s unclear when Rey came to Canada from France. While Milestones and its parent company tried to get Rey’s complaint tossed out, tribunal member Devyn Cousineau denied their request earlier this month and paved the way for Rey’s complaint to move forward. Rey worked as a server at the restaurant from October 2015 to August 2016, and was often the “shift lead,” meaning his duties sometimes involved supervising other servers, according to Cousineau’s decision. The restaurant’s managers had on several occasions talked to Rey about how he treated his co-workers — and mentioned to him that staff members might think he was acting “aggressive” because of his “culture,” according to Rey’s complaint. Rey was ultimately fired after a confrontation on Aug. 14. [...] While Rey’s complaint will move forward, Rey now has to provide ample evidence of what, exactly, defines the French stereotype he claims was responsible for his termination, Cousineau wrote. “Mr. Rey will have to explain what it is about his French heritage that would result in behavior that people misinterpret as a violation of workplace standards of acceptable conduct,” Cousineau wrote in her decision this month. A hearing on the case has not yet been scheduled. The founder of B.C. Talents, an organization that helps French workers integrate into the British Columbia workforce, told CBS News that cultural difference are common. “The culture in Canada, it’s a non-conflict culture, particularly in the professional area,” said Julien Mainguy. “Most of the French-speaking people from Europe, they tend to be very direct.” If French workers want to advance in their careers, he said, they must try to adapt to Canada’s workplace culture. “They have to understand how they get perceived by the Canadian people and not just do what they used to do in France or in Europe,” he said. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/food/wp/2018/03/26/hes-not-rude-just-french-says-canadian-server/?utm_term=.c686766c2c4c

DougRichards Posted April 2, 2018 Posted April 2, 2018 Careful, that probably violates their human rights. You might go to prison in Canada. Only if you use the wrong pronouns.... So how does Quebec deal with the push for multi - gender - pronouns when the rubber hits the road in 'Canadiene' French?

The nine-year-old Girl Guide and her father showed up at Nova Cannabis just south of Whyte Avenue, pulling a wagon filled with top-shelf munchies: sandwich cookies and mint thins. She sold all 30 boxes in less than 45 minutes, earning $120 for Girl Guides. "It amazed me how quickly they went," said her dad, Seann Childs. "Even people in cars driving on the avenue there would stop and roll down their window and ask for cookies."
