2007: When the QPP sent cops to the SPP to start a riot. And failed.

Back in 2007, a YouTube, "NanaimoCanadians" posted a video which exposed how the Quebec Provincial Police (QPP) sent three (that we know of) armed agents to a protest in order to stir up trouble and try and cause a riot.Show more

2007 was a time when the unions and other leftist organizations were still opposed to war, multinationalism, unrestricted immigration and free trade. It was a time when unions saw "free trade" and multi-lateral "trade agreements" for the threats that they are. Threats to the jobs of their members and threats to all of us.

David Cole, then president of the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union (CEP) was leading a protest at the site of the Security and Prosperity Partnership (now defunct), a trilateral organization whose membership consisted of the governments of the Canada, Mexico and the United States. At the summit were Canadian prime minister Stephen Harper, U.S. president George W. Bush and Mexican president Felipe Calderon.

While Mr. Cole is leading the rally, three mask-wearing gentlemen who were later exposed as officers of the QPP, started picking up rocks and generally causing trouble.

Mr. Cole orders them away from the protests. There is a confrontation which becomes physical between he and one of the cops.

The intent of reposting this video on this channel is to expand on it and demonstrate how provacateuring by armed government officers is not a "conspiracy theory," is not rare and is, in fact, downright common.

The Quebec Provincial Police did us a service nearly 20 years ago by showing us just how brazenly such operations are performed, and how shameless their armed state collaborators are. That's the problem with real criminals. When the cops show up, they tend to fight back. But taking down a couple of dozen law-biding, peaceful (albeit pissed off) citizens is like taking candy from a baby. If they're really lucky, the protesters will thank the officers for their service while they're being handcuffed and thrown in the back of the police cruiser.

The January 6th, 2021 police riot in Washington, D.C. is but the most recent and most memorable example.

The guy egging the rest of you on, the guy talking shit about some big ideas and who seems to have come out of nowhere and has an endless supply of money, the guy who says, "let's you and him fight," that guy is a cop. And while Canadian courts - up to and including their supreme court - have smacked down cops for entrapping and provacateuring. cops here in the United States still have free reign to engage in behavior that would have made the East German Stasi blush.

During the intro and outro to the original video (shown unedited, in its entirety), enjoy David Knight's performance of John Williams' "The Patriot" score. Mr. Bush also makes a cameo appearance when he appeared as a guest on Family Guy.

The video is mostly in English with some French. Even if you don't speak french, you'll get the hint.

Quebec police admit they went undercover at Montebello protest
CBC News · Posted: Aug 23, 2007 6:20 PM EDT | Last Updated: August 23, 2007

Quebec provincial police admitted Thursday that three of their officers disguised themselves as demonstrators during the protest at the North American leaders summit in Montebello, Que.

However, the police force denied allegations its undercover officers were there on Monday to provoke the crowd and instigate violence.

"At no time did the police of the Sûreté du Québec act as instigators or commit criminal acts," the police force said in French in a news release. "It is not in the police force's policies, nor in its strategies, to act in that manner.

"At all times, they responded within their mandate to keep order and security."

Police said the three undercover officers were only at the protest to locate and identify non-peaceful protesters in order to prevent any incidents.

Police came under fire Tuesday, when a video surfaced on YouTube that appeared to show three plainclothes police officers at the protest with bandanas across their faces. One of the men was carrying a rock.

In the video, protest organizers in suits order the men to put the rock down, call them police instigators and try unsuccessfully to unmask them.

Police-issued boots identified fake protesters

Protest organizers on Wednesday played the video for the media at a news conference in Ottawa. One of the organizers, union leader Dave Coles, explained that one reason protesters knew the men's true identities was because they were wearing the same boots as other police officers.

Coles said on Wednesday that the only thing he didn't know was whether the men were Quebec police, RCMP or hired security officers.
