Be prepared to be interrogated by the high school sales clerk the next time you buy Sudafed. The Manitoba Government has asked retail employees to help it catch crystal meth cooks.
This seems to be trend nowadays: recruiting regular, everyday people to snitch on their fellow citizens. There's photo radar which forces the owner of a vehicle to track down, charge, and collect from the speeding driver, and a short while ago I got a notice from Manitoba Hydro to be on the lookout for houses in my neighbourhood with "bright lights", a "concealed meter", or a "beware of dog sign". They recommended that I rat said neighbour out to the Police since they might be running a marijuana grow operation.
What ever happened to the police policing? This all reminds me of 1984. Are we getting closer? Scary stuff.
