🇨🇦 Ottawa’s answer to every policing failure: more bureaucracy, less accountability

The sharpest part is this: the RCMP referred itself to an oversight body that is not even required to investigate. That is the grand accountability machine after video from Sheshatshiu triggered public outrage over an arrest and alleged excessive force, as reported. Translation: the state will review the state, then decide whether the state did anything wrong.

Now Innu leaders want two officers sidelined and are again pushing for a separate Innu police service because provincial law blocks it and Ottawa funding rules trap everything in the usual maze. Classic Canada: endless reconciliation slogans, zero coherent structure, and every crisis turned into a jurisdictional food fight between provincial legislation, federal programs, and the RCMP’s PR department. The Trudeau era built a country where institutions are too bloated to function, too cowardly to act, and too obsessed with optics to command trust. Sovereignty starts with order and credibility, not another layer of managerial theater.
