🇨🇦 Anonymous Mounties in the name of transparency

The sharpest joke here is that Ottawa’s transparency class is suddenly fine with federal police operating without visible names. The RCMP has dropped the requirement for officers to wear name tags on duty, and we are told this is normal administration while the usual experts wring their hands about accountability, as reported. Funny how the same regime that wants every Canadian tracked, flagged, and digitally managed has no issue making state agents harder to identify.

This is the Trudeau era in miniature: endless lectures about trust, inclusion, and democratic norms, paired with less public visibility when the federal apparatus acts in the real world. The problem is not that cops deserve doxxing by lunatics. The problem is a government culture that demands radical openness from citizens and radical deference to institutions. Bureaucrats fail upward, ministers dodge blame, and now even the national police can blur into the uniform. Sovereignty starts with accountable institutions that serve the public, not insulated ones that hide behind managerial talking points.
