Ottawa considers moving the RCMP away from policing

CBC is reporting that "Hours before Farnworth's news conference, the Toronto Star reported the federal government is considering its own big change for the RCMP, one that would turn it away from on-the-ground policing and towards an FBI-style model focusing on national security and cybercrime issues." Alberta and BC are considering getting rid of the RCMP and form a regional police force like Ontario and Quebec, the two largest provinces in the country.

Ottawa's decision to move the RCMP away from on-the-ground policing and towards an FBI-style model focusing on national security and cybercrime may indeed force BC and Alberta to create their own police force. That certainly puts the debate into a completely new perspective.

I had always been an idealist fan of keeping the RCMP. Sadly the politicized leadership of the RCMP have convinced me that is not in Canadian's best interest. That is why I have launched a new website called Get Rid of the RCMP dot ca.

This is where I will explain why I have come to that conclusion. I support law enforcement. I support Police on Guard. I do not support the politicized leadership of the RCMP. They are the Swamp and the only way we can drain the Swamp is by getting rid of the RCMP and forming a Regional Police force that is accountable to the local regions and the people who pay their wages. Ottawa's decision to move the RCMP away from on-the-ground policing and move towards an FBI-style model directly affects BC as BC is the largest contractor of RCMP services.
