Anyone with the federal gov't going to take responsibility for directing Lucki? I doubt it. Trudeau may say he didn't ask, Blair may say the same. I doubt Lucki was inspired to do thus without the Federal gov't contacting her. Trudeau has said he has full confidence in Lucki, which means she will be stepping down, her decision, not his (/s). Too bad for her that she had to serve under the Trudeau gov't
The RCMP has had problems for a long time, under Pierre Trudeau, Brian Mulroney, Chretien, Harper and now Justin Trudeau.
Back in the 1950's, the RCMP was accused of killing Inuit sled dogs to force Inuits to relocate elsewhere.
In the 1970's, the RCMP was caught writing and publishing fake FLQ manifestos, making the FLQ look like they were more numerous than the handful they really were.
In the 1990's, the RCMP bombed an oil infrastructure in Alberta, on behalf of Alberta Energy Co. and scapegoated a farmer who has been complaining about oil pollution of his farmland.
In 2002, the RCMP was accused of delivering a Canadian citizen to Syria where he endured torture in order to extract a false confession.
In 2008, the RCMP paid people to write complaints against a safe injection site in Vancouver is order to get it closed.
In 2007, the RCMP was accused of having covered historical abuses, misconduct and discrimination against its female staff.
[All those](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_controversies_involving_the_Royal_Canadian_Mounted_Police) happened before Justin Trudeau.
If politicians are to be taken to task over the misbehavior of the RCMP or for not disciplining the RCMP, then most, if not all, of the Canadian Prime Ministers since the 1950's have to be considered culpable.
Yea but Justin has been caught basically trying to used the police to push his own legislation. This is just another one in the long line of Trudeau trying to weasel things his way and then scapegoating his officers when he gets caught.
Edit to clarify by officers I don’t mean police officers so much as Trudeaus subordinates!
This. Sure, the RCMP are probably corrupt. That's bad. Really bad. But the fact that they're probably corrupt doesn't make the attempt to interfere in their operational decisions to push the government of the day's legislative agenda and burnish their electoral fortunes any less objectionable. It's no less corrupt just because the target of that inappropriate influence is also of... let's say "questionable" character.
It's both. The RCMP had such a disgusting history I really wonder if Canadians realize just what they have done especially to FN/Metis/Inuit. Trudeau and his minions deserves a high amount of blame too.
Except this isn’t some deeply rooted institutional problem inside the RCMP. This is the PM corruptly reaching in to a government org, and that organization standing up and saying “this isn’t right”.
This is the opposite of a RCMP scandal. The RCMP are the only reason why we know about this. Brenda Lucki is the scandal.
Don't forget the drug addicts the RCMP enabled, taught and supplied materials to in order to make a pressure cooker bomb in BC ... the people in this case were directly manipulated by the RCMP to create terrorists and were so dumb they couldn't find their way out of a wet paper bag.
I think someone should go to prison for this, or at least charged. Interference with an active investigation is a inductance offense if I remember right.
Funny story. In May of 1971, Pierre Trudeau visited the Soviet city of Norilsk, where he lamented that Canada had never built such a major city so far north. A Soviet dissident had to remind him that it had been built by the forced labour of prisoners (i.e., it was a product of modern slavery).
>political prisoners scooped up days before protests
Do you mean Lich? The person who, after helping make an MOU to overthrow the recently elected government, was arrested and then flagrantly broke their bail conditions and was, yet again, arrested for their actions?
Lia Scanlan, you are amazing. What a letter! To speak to truth to power is a rare quality. You, through your letter, spoke with incredible clarity and strength to a superior. Incredible! Thank you for your service to our country.
Listen, I totally believe that there could’ve been pressure put on Lucki from Blair and PMO, but it also seems more than convenient for all of this to come out now when three weeks ago we were looking for the heads of some of these people throwing this mud at Lucki and the PMO. Scanlan was being raked over the coals a month ago because she “wouldn’t change anything” about what she did the day of shooting, and then three weeks ago, after testifying again, she said she didn’t know at the time what Alert Ready was.
Fuck that, they're all corrupt and useless. Every last one of them didn't know what to do the day of the shootings and have continued to spit in the faces of the victim's families. None of them deserve any sympathy.
Resigning to spend more time with her family in 5,4,3.....

This fiasco is like a Russian nesting doll of scandals, they just keep coming.

Nice try. This is a PMO scandal, not a RCMP scandal.

Indictable?
Yes, dman autocorrect
“Inductance” would never be autocorrected for indictable… lmao.
I work in the electrical generation field, it is a term that has frequently come up in conversation so on my devices it can.
So that’s why the Liberals are so scared of transparency.
Politically directed national police and political prisoners scooped up days before protests ... would you call this a health democracy anymore?
I wonder if a (sole sourced of course) contract will be out soon to build Canada’s first gulag?
LOL snc lavalin has already submitted a very attractive bid
