I didn’t say it was. One way or another. I just think that given the public’s perception of policing as a whole that any attempts to bring it closer to anything military will not be viewed positively. Heck our MPs have demilitarized themselves almost. I think the RCMP a needs to focus more...

Militarization of our police forces is not likely to be supported in this day and age.

They are also obsessed with falls from grace.

Nobody should trust anything they say at this time about their motives.

Trumpism will continue though. Someone much smarter than me stated that anyone thinking this is just a blip is an idiot. Not claiming you yourself are an idiot but US policy is unlikely to change after Trump. It may soften. But it will never be as it once was.

When was the last time they were polling that low? The party is already courting disaster. The leader is in a weak position with party discipline seemingly a mess. Psychologically that poll number could trigger a leadership crisis with caucus either pushing for change or more floor crossing...

Stop picking fly shit out of pepper. You know exactly what @dapaterson was saying.

Agreed however I suspect that those are still functioning because of the interpersonal relationships that exist at the military level. Created of decades of shared blood, toil and cooperation. At the political and diplomatic level is the issue. They are working for now despite attempts...

We’d be doing the same thing
