Harper is all about using funding to change policy when it comes to blocking the accountability mechanisms in government. This combined with the Harper new use of anti terror laws to ban a 5-time elected British MP from Canada... to use the law against free speech for a political expedient reason and not a genuine security threat. Everyone should realize this is in effect using terror laws to legislate 'political correctness' and that the rights of those that oppose are being stripped away slowly bit by bit.

IMO we should have a war on ignorance. Ignorance is at the root of all evil big and small. The only real weapon to fight ignorance is free speech... so that fools can reveal themselves and others can try to educate them. A society that loses its freedom of speech historically leads to a decline into dictatorship and disfunctionality.

Jason Kenny went so far as to declare that any Canadian media that publishes the words of George Galloway will be investigated for violation of the anti terror laws. This is just ludicrous outrageous and only something that would be acceptable in a police state... yet here we are in Canada and that is the official word from our government.

Cutting funding to what little the public does have to hold the RCMP to account through learning from past mistakes.. does not surprise me at all.. considering a small group of party insiders have a clear agenda (neocon) driven by foreign interests that require police state tactics to protect their agenda.

AIMHO

A conspiracy theory before breakfast, whoa!

This is funny...very funny!
The one tool we are suppose to have to investigate the RCMP and they cut the budget?
What's the matter...were they doing too good a job investigating these complaints?
I doubt that!

Ignorance is Bliss!
Kust look at the shite eating grins on Harper & Gordo.

Surprised ?

At least "don't have the money" is a slightly better excuse than "the file sat on somebody's desk for a year, but they didn't see it". (The Thousand Acre Desk)

Welcome to Northern Mexico, where we practice the same methodology, but we do it with a little more finesse.

come on all,
We knew something like this would happen.

Did you hear the one about an RCMP officer deleting a video of an incident. Or should I say he destroyed evidence.

Good. Dismantle that decrepit cess pool.

We need to put accused cops before Grand Juries, without a judge in sight.

To a cop, Breach of Trust isn't a crime; it is their job description.

Why is this a surprise? Obviously the police are in some trouble with their accountability and actions; nicely "excused" with no criminal charges. This is a mindset of not only the Feds, but the Provincial government as well as they excuse everything from sexual harassment to stalking when their empolyees are involved. So much for fair and transparent complaint process all around. Cut the budget and sweep it under the rug. We do it well.
