Another kind of musical ride is being orchestrated by Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
In my opinion there is far too much hub-to-do about something that ain’t gonna happen. Tighten the reins on all bad cops as it doesn’t make horse sense to trade thoroughbreds for glue factory nags. I don’t believe for one minute that switching from the RCMP to a provincial force would change a thing for the good. I believe it’s just another game of smoke and mirrors mixed with the fear factor ingredient cooked up by Harper for reasons unknown to the public. The fear factor could perhaps send a message to the RCMP to climb down from their high horse and realize they are not above the laws of our land. Time given to fit the crime should be applied to the few RCMP and other cops that abuse combined power to cover up their shortcomings.
The saying goes that provincial police forces are mainly rejects that failed to become a member of the RCMP.
