You're assuming a bad outcome and then acting as if it's a guaranteed outcome. This is maladaptive behavior under any circumstances.
Please actually talk to a therapist about this if you can. I guarantee this behaviour pattern is occurring in other places in your life, and it's not healthy.
This is fundamentally the real problem. Submitting false reports to police will always be possible. Anyone can do it. But a false police report should never endanger someone's life. That's only possible because of bad policing.
I've actually personally made a police report that resulted in our version of a SWAT team being sent. They're called ETF here in Canada. I saw what looked like a domestic violence incident, with a knife involved. Because there was a weapon, policy said to send ETF.
When they arrived they locked down the entire area, and then they talked to the people inside the apartment. They gave clear and simple instructions, they made them both walk out one at a time, they got everyone's stories, and they resolved the entire incident without violence.
ETF are trained by JTF-2, one of the best special forces units in the world. These are absolutely terrifying people. If violence had been needed they would have dispensed it with ruthless efficiency. But that training also gives them the confidence to not use violence as a first resort. They're taught to de-escalate, to resolve situations safely and calmly wherever possible.
This is how policing works all over the developed world. Only in America is "murder by cop" a realistic option, and that's 100% a problem with American policing.
And, I want to be absolutely clear about this; Canadian policing sucks. We're not even a good example. So many countries do it better than us. America has set the bar so low that even our middling efforts look amazing in comparison.
It genuinely is the actual name, because Hegseth genuinely is that cringe.
Instead of theorizing, just call and ask why they haven't responded. If the answer is "Because we're snowed under", well, there you go. And now they know that you really give a shit because you're badgering them for a response. They get a lot of form letters but very few people follow up. That immediately ups the seriousness in their minds.
Be unreasonable if you have to be. I don't mean impolite. Be nice to the human being on the other end of the line. But be demanding. Your MP works for you. Make them work.
Functionally, yes, it is auditory dyslexia. You're not struggling to hear, you're struggling to get the sounds to process into words.
And all of that would be fine if they were still acting like an ally.
Phone their office, demand to know why you haven't heard back from them. Make them search through their emails and pull up every message you ever sent. Make them uncomfortable. Be a problem.
I'm not sure what you feel like you're adding with this reply.
Well done for making the effort. Thank you, and we all appreciate it.
But what do you want other people to take from this? Are you trying to discourage other people from taking action? Because you encountered resistance other people shouldn't try at all, even though they might end up speaking to someone more receptive?
Even your MP may end up changing their mind if enough people speak up. The goal is not to single-handedly sway their opinion, it's to add your voice to a growing chorus. You're joining a movement, not fighting a solo battle.
If you're a Canadian, please contact your MP about bill C-22, and do it now. They're voting on this in the next few days.
Salt Typhoon, a hacking group connected to the Chinese government, used the backdoors put in place by CALEA in the US to spend months buried deep in US telecoms providers surveilling citizens. The Liberals are proposing to put in place a worse version of those exact same backdoors. Bring this up to your MP, remind them that when the Chinese (or North Koreans, Iranians, Russians, or even Americans) inevitably exploit these backdoors to do the same thing to us, it's going to blow up in their faces.
Read the link above for more salient points about why this is bad law. Read Open Media's articles on it (https://openmedia.org/press/item/ottawa-repackages-its-surveillance-backdoor-in-bill-c-22). Bring up these points to your MP. Email them. Phone and demand to speak to them. Make a stink about this.
If nothing else, send the form letter from Open Media (the other options are better, but something is better than nothing); https://action.openmedia.org/page/188754/action/1#main-content
They already tried to pass this law once and it failed. Yes, they have a majority now, but it is a very slim majority. If a few MPs defect this bill will die.
Can I get in on those beans though?
Oh no! Not my private jet!
So, you're saying that an MP has filed a police report against you for harassment?
