With humility, I'm not a lawyer, but I've spoken to many lawyers, and especially many current and former Canadian police, about this opinion. It's not my opinion but my shared opinion that due to Stinchcombe, a law that essentially demands the RCMP release almost all evidence to the defence side, and Jordan, which at the same time applies a strict time pressure to very complex cases involving international networks and translation, any amount of information has to be funnelled through a time barrier with a tremendous volume. We can read of cases that have been dropped involving Mexican cartels. I can point to Cobra, in Alberta, and Brisa, in Ontario, and we can find in open-sourced reporting that Stinchcombe and Jordan are cited in the dropping of those cases.
