I was driving down York this morning and saw 12 cop cars parked along the street....presumably they are attending court.
Is this a proper use of resources...couldn't they have gone down in another manner or, in fewer cars?

are cop cars "assigned" to one set of officers? or is it a pool they just take whatever car is available after signing it out?

different court cases, no exact time that the case is going to be heard, they pretty much have to sit there until the case is heard and then they can leave...could be 5 minutes.. could be 5 hours.

Police converge on Canwest Building
Updated: Thu Feb. 19 2009 12:17:25
ctvwinnipeg.ca
A large number of police have converged on the Canwest Place at Portage and Main. Police have confirmed that the building is being evacuated because of a security concern.
Police arrived at the building at about 10:15 a.m. and did not at first issue an evacuation order, but a short time later began shuttling people out onto the street and asking people to move away from the base of the tower.
One man CTV News spoke to says he was not given any indication about why the building was evacuated, but says he did not see any signs of fire.
He says it was an orderly procedure and adds that he feels safe in the building. His company has only been a tenant for one month.
More to come

No no...you've got it wrong....
Stadium...football...passing...bomb.
Museum...death...hole in the ground...
(ya ya I know...weak...very weak.)
But the thought just came to me.
How will the recession affect donations?

why would they need donations? Its a Fed building.. all cost overruns will be born by them. The HRM will never need donations again.
