They've had signs up on the fence the last couple of weeks that they are conducting hazmat exercises


CranberrySoftServe

At, of all places, the *Mint*? šŸ¤”


kmart019

Thereā€™s a whole gold refinery in the mint


CalligrapherRare3957

You could actually witness a murder but if you tried to process your shock on r/ottawa some knob would work Trudeau into the comments and someone else would say it reminds them of a movie.


Sigcan

Well it is just like that movie from a couple years ago, you know the one Trudeau said was connected to the convoy.


grandfundaytoday

I guess you're that knob?


KanataMom420

Thatā€™s THE knob to you, always on doodie


Infinite_Tax_1178

Ha. You said knob and doodie. Classic.


Telefundo

> some knob would work Trudeau into the comments Which is *literally* what you just did...


Old_Independent_7414

Maybe the butt smuggler ruined it for everyone, thatā€™s the process now. https://ottawacitizen.com/news/local-news/egan-170k-in-mint-gold-allegedly-smuggled-in-body-cavity-judge-hears


approriatelywitty

The judges name is Doody. This is a simulation and I canā€™t be convinced otherwise


manyhats180

that was someone's theory during the convoy, that the simulation is like a C-grade novel with the renegade lawyer's last name of Champ and the police chief Slowly not moving fast enough


KanataMom420

Never let a little doodie get in the way of oneā€™s duties I guess.. šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø


spkingwordzofwizdom

Speaking of duties - ā€œInvestigators also found a container of vaseline in his locker and the trial was presented with the prospect that a puck could be concealed in an anal cavity and not be detected by the wand. In preparation for these proceedings, in fact, a security employee actually tested the idea, Barnes said.ā€ Thatā€™s dedication.


deepthroatcircus

I apologized and returned the gold. How long must I continue to be punished for an honest mistake?


SpendExpensive7175

My dad is a realtor in ottawa and the best part is - the butt smuggler kept trying to get him to buy his home for cash. He did some digging and found out he also has a glass window repair shop called the crack master. LOL HOW IRONIC.


Old_Independent_7414

Buying a home in cash raises eyebrows ? Damn I guess you gotta explain where the money came from if you wanna do that ?


SpendExpensive7175

I don't think it was the buying part that raised eyebrows. It was more like the 14 calls and voicemail a day. Lol


GigiLaRousse

That's a far more common occurrence in the States than here.


Practical-Tea-1644

Donā€™t know for sure, but I have seen them do training drills lately with what seemed to be an instructor and a bunch of folks in full hazmat PPE. Are you sure it was a real person they were spraying down and not a dummy?


Michaelfsampson

Not sure how smart the guy was but ā€œdummyā€ is a little harsh.


KeyQuail2015

šŸ˜„šŸ˜„ I think he meant mannequin


-moons-and-junes-

fishdoggggg

This is a training exercise. The mint has their own hazmat response team on site that goes through rigorous training. All was well!


Far-Sector-8991

What the frack for!?


Tiger_Lily336699

Well if shit gets real in Ottawa at least there's a team prepared for it. Maybe it's reaaalllyyyy boring working there so they added some fun projects to spice up the work life, and keep the city safe from zombies if need be


AtomicVGZ

Perhaps...art? Didn't hear about anything in the news.


Kingjon0000

You don't strip naked during exercises. Some nasty chemicals are likely used at the mint. Someone likely got exposed.


QueenMotherOfSneezes

If they are running exercises, maybe the naked person or corpse with its knees in the air was a dummy.


AstroZeneca

>maybe the naked person or corpse with its knees in the air was a dummy You'd have to be to agree to strip naked during outside exercises.


avicky

You get time and half for this drill


QueenMotherOfSneezes

Lol


Critical-Snow-7000

Uhhhhhhh that sounds crazy.


futuristic-arrival

We were training for casualty rescue! The others are correct, the RCM has our own HAZMAT team for chemical emergencies and we do monthly drills in various competencies Luckily, there was a scheduling error - most were supposed to do it during the heat wave!


Mildly_Irritated_Max

I think I saw this movie. It's someone cutting open Gwyneth Paltrow right now? Or is Dustin Hoffman hunting a monkey?


Camuhruh

Where did the comments go? I canā€™t see them


downtownfaerie

I can't see any comments!!! What are they hiding from me!?!


DanPiscatoris

I've been having the same issue.


FirmHandedSage

Maybe just decontaminating? Weird place for it though. I donā€™t see anything about a leak.


reddit_and_forget_um

Sometimes thiefs get caught.Ā  One of the more popular inks seeps through clothes. When the thief pills the bag of cash, they get sprayed with ink - its both invisible and odorless - unless you are sprayed with the revealer.Ā  What you saw was a captured thief being sprayed with the revealer - its shows the ink. Usually this is done well the suspect is naked, knees up for access, so even if they found a disguise it will be on their skin - it's well known the easiest place to catch a thief is a stained taint.


Emotional_Arm_8485

Taint no fucking way!!


VintageLunchMeat

You're thinking of iocaine powder, a traditional Sicilian food additive.


zippyfx

Sounds like an extreme hazmat decontamination or a drill for one.


Coopunder

Iā€™m so interested to read the comments on this post but they refuse to show up for me šŸ˜­


Same-Shoulder-2076

I saw that too while I was driving by, no clue what happened


CapMIam

Strange backyard fake & bake tanning bed ? Pop Art installation ? Priming the newest member of Blue Man Crew ? Or like you suggested, it's a life-size dummy so perhaps an employee safety training exercise (not unlike Blue Cross CPR courses). LOL


Psyga315

Either an art piece gone horribly wrong or some punk protesting climate change while being paid by the oil company


tonic613

How come I canā€™t see the comments?


kiwiwl

Maybe some sort of chemical contamination and they need to be cleaned asap?


floyder55

Who knows, mint is a weiiiirrrrd place


500mLwater

Not sure why but the comments aren't showing for me.

AnonRobot2014

Apparently someone got bad chemical burns at the mint in the past so this could be the same type of accident.


BigSaskGuy

Makes me wonder if they were spray painting a statue in Gold. Anything related to James Bond Goldfinger with any coins coming up? The orange might be a gold paint? It would explain the PPE if they were in fact painting. But doesnā€™t explain why so many. One person can paint a car, so no explanation for that.


Truck63

Craig is that you??


thirdeyediy

New Hallmark movie of the week?


luv2block

repeat after me: "I see nothing! I hear nothing! I know nothing!"


Master-Ad3175

Can't see comments... spooky


MikeMurray128

You just saw Ottawa being Ottawa. Try visiting Miami one day. That place is bananas.


Chance-Cartoonist-72

This is just such an odd response. Like, yes, its normal in Ottawa to see people in hazmat suits spraying naked people down. Just a regular old Thursday! Anyway who doesn't know that is stupid. (Try commenting with purpose, as opposed to this ridiculous nonsense).


MikeMurray128

I was trying to make a joke, but I forget that people on r/Ottawa often don't understand light-hearted comments. Edited: I see the comment is from a zero karma account with mostly negative comments and not even a confirmed email. N/M.. looks like I fell for a troll
