1342...Don't Rock Stephen Harper's Boat

Or you will get your ass fired. Tonda McCharles of the Toronto Star reports that is what happened to Paul Kennedy, the man charged with watching over the RCMP.

Appointed by the Liberals back in the good old days, the crux of the matter is simply that "Kennedy argues the commission cannot be an effective watchdog because it is forced to rely on RCMP brass for cooperation. He wants the ability to compel or subpoena Mountie witnesses and evidence in its investigations. Kennedy has also suggested his $5.2 million budget wasn't adequate to match the RCMP's $4.1 billion budget."

Look, mostly the RCMP do good things but when they f'ck up, and they are a big ass organization, they will f'ck up, it is good to have someone with the temperment and courage of Mr. Kennedy to be there to sort things out.

An independent review.

Police are very important and no police service is more important to Canada than the horsemen. But if they cannot be taken to task when they f'ck up they will f'ck up even more.

Apparently the Conservatives don't feel the same way that I do.

Sad.

And a bit scary, don't you think?

Slippery slope and all that.
