Si je me souviens bien, mes parents qui étaient postiers m'ont dit que ça déjà servi pour Postes Canada aussi. Ça serait pas les bureaux du SCRS aussi?

When the roof tock fire 2-3 years? ago, armed officer blocked the way to fireman to the 2 most upper floor. They preferred let the building burn to dust than letting untrusted people in. Fireman had to find a external ladder/crane to get on the roof. After this incident took place they moved the so-secret department elsewhere. But it is still secured

Secret-not-so-secret-anymore I guess lol I love men in black... And those fine "undercover agents" that dress as anarchists to infiltrate public demonstrations at political summits.

They are like weed - they are everywhere. And sometimes you do wonder. Was it really worth our tax money to have agents in the crown at Montebello?????????
