As of this year, we no longer have a Commissioner to oversee the mounties, who are known liars when they report on investigations of themselves. This is extremely dangerous for Canadians. If they mistreat you in any way, you have no one to turn to. Just think about that for a minute. A letter to your MP might help but what MP is going to take on the mounties if the Prime Minister is too cowed by them to even appoint a commissioner? A letter to the editor might help- but if you 'merely' get treated disrespectfully (or maybe tazered a little) you won't get any print space because before long it will be normal treatment. As individual mounties see they can act with impunity, they will get worse and worse and the worst of the bullies and thugs among them will rise gleefully to the fore in no time at all. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. You won't want to be pulled over at night on a lonely stretch of highway. Without oversight of the police we are just a hair's breadth away from being a police state.
Why on earth would the Prime Minister turn over our domestic safety to the exclusive control of the RCMP, who are controlled at the top by a cabal of lying thugs? It just doesn't make any sense at all. Do they have something on you, Mr. Harper?
