Interested in just about everything, well except going shopping. Retired but still working and loving it. Stay connected folks, always keep your brain engaged.

Do better Westjet! Cancun gong show. The baggage printers were out of paper. That created need to do a full checkin. No one reloading machines. Wheelchair services failed to show. Line ups were out the door. 2.5 hrs to check in bags. No one from WJ helping. Terrible.@WestJet

Hey Kim. Roger Warren killed 9 men with a bomb in Yellowknife in 1992. He was granted parole in 2014 if my memory serves me correctly. Mass…..at one time as opposed to a serial killer…one after another. He was a mass murderer.

[Al Macintyre @nobovineskat]

@PeterLepine @VancouverSun Hey Pete. That’s quite the analogy haha.

[Al Macintyre @nobovineskat]

Go Kim go? What the hell. A 17 year old died here. The driver is alleged to have being driving while impaired. This is not a sporting event. Sad commentary given the circumstances.

[Kyla Lee @IRPlawyer]

My awesome friend Kim Frye caught on camera grilling police in a DUI trial. Go Kim Go! https://t.co/e8vO61HFNw

@homicide_canada You missed one. Yellowknife, NWT on 18 SEP 1992. Roger WARREN placed a bomb in a mine that killed 9 miners. It occurred during a violent labour dispute. Warren was convicted of 9 counts of 2nd degree murder. The murders left 32 women and children without a husband/dad.

[Al Macintyre @nobovineskat]

Interesting to note Surrey has one of the lowest annualized murder rates for Canadian large cities. I wonder how critics of the RCMP in Surrey will square that?

Monsoon in south Langley. Gutters can’t keep up. @BCstormwatch

[Al Macintyre @nobovineskat]

Have read a lot of posts on his view of the standards of policing from Stuart. Standing on the sideline and sniping seems to be a constant theme. Has he ever taken the Oath of Office, put on a uniform, worn a sidearm, ran towards the danger while others take refuge? Curious.

[Stuart @stuartd37]

Surrey deserves better than status quo. RCMP Leadership has refused to change starting at the top. We need a force created directly for our City

[Al Macintyre @nobovineskat]

Why is it SPS recruiting advertisements need to include a slag or a trashing of another agency in hopes of promoting themselves as better? NWPD, VPD, WVPD, APD, BCSS, RCMP and the list goes on, don’t resort to this practice.

[Surrey Police Service @surreyps]

We're recruiting Constables to work in our Traffic Collision Investigation Unit. If you're an experienced officer that's looking for an agency that goes beyond the status quo, find out what SPS has to offer: https://t.co/exkR75qRMX #JoinSurreyPS

I have an idea but it may not sit well with some.

Sadly security is required to safeguard equipment while criminal predators steal equipment that saves lives, and maybe their own: Firefighting equipment stolen including ATVs in North Shuswap https://t.co/E1j8E52qVh

[Al Macintyre @nobovineskat]

@TENorton @ray_oak Well, you did have that stint in Ottawa…..just saying. Cheers.

[Al Macintyre @nobovineskat]

Watching Abbotsford Airshow arrivals and practice sessions. The only thing better might be fishing. US Navy EA18G Growlers ripping up the field. Impressive team. Can’t wait for show day. My hearing should be normalized by then…yikes. @AbbyAirshow

[Al Macintyre @nobovineskat]

Come on folks. The only thing missing from this misrepresentation would be having the often quoted retired police chief and former BC SG offering his jaded opinion. Defending an action does not make it right. @JennPound @GlobalBC @jarmstrongbc @CUrquhartGlobal

[Jordan Armstrong @jarmstrongbc]

@JennPound @CUrquhartGlobal @GlobalBC You’re reading way too much into this.
If we had a photo of him in SPS uniform, we’d show it. This is what we have. He is a former RCMP officer.

[Al Macintyre @nobovineskat]

Super day with Surrey RCMP, their LE partners, friends and of course the Musical Ride. The displays were first class and the Ride & Pipe Band were top shelf. Well done Surrey RCMP and it was great to reconnect with others who are serving or have served. @SurreyRCMP @npffpn

[Al Macintyre @nobovineskat]

I had the privilege of attending the Aldergrove Community HS graduation ceremony last night. What an amazing group of young adults. Nice to see the community RCMP as part of the event. These grads are the future and the future looks good. @LangleyRCMP @ACSSTotems

[Al Macintyre @nobovineskat]

Modern day policing and human commitment above and beyond the call of duty by the Surrey RCMP, Surrey’s municipal police service since 1951. They have always been there for you. Change is a confusing thing when you don’t have a compass heading. Sometimes you lose your way.

[CKNW @CKNW]

“An on-duty RCMP member, along with a bystander and the female passenger of the submerged vehicle, extracted the male (driver) from the vehicle and began providing emergency first aid,” said Staff Sgt. Tyner Gillies.

Makes u scratch ur head. Went to the local BCLCB liquor store to pick up a few cardboard boxes. Can’t have them I was told. They were told by head office not to give them out any more. I said what happens to them? Crushed out back they said. What happened to reuse/recycle.

[Al Macintyre @nobovineskat]

@rawsalerts you do a first rate job, and and as a retired Canadian first responder I appreciate the speed and detail of your posts. Keep it up but please don’t dumb it down with posts that are just fillers. Stay with the focus on real developing emergencies and events. Cheers.

[R A W S A L E R T S @rawsalerts]

its been a slow news day ok 😂

[Al Macintyre @nobovineskat]

As with all the first responders from so many agencies & the major case investigators that worked this case, we will never be able to un-see the horrors witnessed that fateful day. Never. Mayerthorpe four - we won’t forget your sacrifice to Canada. @HalwaKevin @AFPAElliott

[Michael Elliott M.O.M @AFPAElliott]

Today we remember, respect & honour their sacrifices helping their community. #mayerthorpe #remember @RCMPAlberta @npffpn @rcmpgrcpolice

[Al Macintyre @nobovineskat]

Absolutely out of control. At local pizza joint to pickup a phone in order. The POS device had a tip as the first option. I went to the CO-OP liquor store in Lly. No service. Pick up the wine and to the cash register and again, the first screen on the device is asking for a tip.

[The Province @theprovince]

Is tipping getting out of control? Many consumers say yes https://t.co/fFbAa9V24b
