This throw-away line from a Times Colonist piece certainly needs further investigating:
As part of strengthened security, RCMP removed two men wearing media badges minutes before Harper took the stage at Brentwood College’s Crooks Hall. (see here)
This happened a day after two eco-nutbars crashed the stage dressed as waiters during another Harper event at a Vancouver Board of Trade function.
Two questions immediately pop into mind:
1) How was it possible for these two to receive official media passes?
2) What are the names of these two men who posed as accredited media?
Update: Here’s the media notice for Harper’s Jan 7th Brentwood College School event:
Media are required to present proper identification for accreditation. (see here)

It’s a breach in security no matter how they try to cut it. To make matters worse there will be no charges…get this…”it wouldn’t be in the public interest”!!!!
There would be charges if this happened around the US President and there would also be firings.
It’s not about the actual twits who did this it’s about the message it sends.

The Vancouver Police are run by Mayor Moonbeam who doesn’t want to upset his Rabble base of supporters and the RCMP want this embarrassment to go away

Since it’s about the safety of the PM of our country we need to keep at this one, the RCMP work for us.
What have we heard from “Mayor Moonbeam” on the security breach?

They were there to record for the TV show we produce and were in fact Media
