I don’t know about K9 units, but I’ve never seen one anywhere in Canada, except maybe at an airport once.
- Teever 4y agoThey brought a bunch of police dogs into my Canadian high school for a 'random' search. I saw the principal come into the class I was in and point out a specific kid that she wanted searched. The distrust of authority that I learned from that experience is without a doubt the greatest lesson I ever got in high school.

- throwaway59596 4y agoWhy does that matter? The point is that it can happen and it's normal enough that the principal just did it and the police just followed up, no questions asked no eyebrows batted. That it's hidden enough is worse, not better for Canada, if it was outrageous there would be outrage and everyone would know - but nobody cares.

It's this sense of what countries are like in general, statistically, that allows us to say anything intelligent about things like this.
