MOUNTIES ON THE PRECIPICE
We have been calling for a fresh start for the RCMP for many months now on these pages.
Now, the government itself is calling for just that.
And just in the nick of time.
They taser a 68-year old guy in Kelowna for a minor parking infraction?
And months after the event, they admit that one of their own has been busted on a child porno charge?
Once again...please get some dignity and skill and a return to pride in performance and behaviour.

Only the front line Constables care about performance, and take any pride in what they do...and only so far as it will reflect on their PER's for that quarter. They are all working diligently to get a promotion and off the front line or 'street' and into Ottawa or Halifax research positions ASAP!

David,
I agree with your desire to see the RCMP revamped, but I am a little disturbed by the photo that accompanies the blog entry. That is a photo of the four mounties that were murdered on a northern Alberta farm. Laid over top are the words "I don't care". Tell me you don't really feel this way.
Oh my god, I'm sorry that I may have misled anyone with that foto.
Of course, I care. That's why I have written about this subject so often.
The foto is a frightening indictment of the current situation.
I apologize if you may have seen it as anything else.
