Why all the fuss about the FBI operating in Canada? It's not like we can trust the RCMP. Greg Weston writes of the RCMP in The Sun:

But as we have pointed out on numerous occasions before, this isn't the first time in Zaccardelli's six-year tenure that the venerable Horsemen have been up to their britches in manure. Let's remember, the Mounties were caught red-handed in the sponsorship scandal, the force having illegally funnelled almost $3 million of Adscam money through a secret, non-government bank account. No one in the force was disciplined -- heck, Chuck Guite, the now-jailed bureaucrat at the centre of Adscam, was once invited to take the honour salute for the Musical Ride -- and Zaccardelli dismissed it all as an administrative error. No wonder the RCMP were slow to go after their man at the outset of the sponsorship scandal under Jean Chretien. In fact, the force failed to even investigate the $350-million program for almost two years after an internal government audit showing all kinds of hanky-panky. If there is one chapter in Zac's tenure that rankles almost as much as Arar, it is surely the collusion of the Mounties in the shameful hounding and intimidation of Francois Beaudoin, the former head of the federal Business Development Bank. Beaudoin was the honest banker whom Chretien repeatedly tried to pressure into approving a $650,000 federal loan to the then-PM's pal and Shawinigan innkeeper at the centre of what became known as the "Shawinigate" fiasco. When Beaudoin refused to approve the loan as a bad risk, and threatened to blow the whistle on Chretien, the RCMP were called in to help hound the banker out of his job and through years of personal hell. Two cronies Chretien had appointed to the federal bank appealed directly to Zaccardelli to turn the Mounties loose on Beaudoin for all kinds of unfounded wrongdoing. Before Beaudoin finally got his day in court, he had been subjected to three years of a smear campaign, aided and abetted by RCMP raids on his family home, cottage and -- as a final act of attempted public humiliation -- his Montreal golf club. In 2004, Quebec Judge Andre Denis issued a scathing 200-page judgment on the Beaudoin case, awarding the former banker $4.3 million in damages, and describing the actions of the RCMP and Chretien's goon squad as "an unspeakable injustice." But, hey, the Harper government has "full confidence" in Zaccardelli and the Mounties.

Weston fails to mention the APEC Conference where, at the behest of the PMO, the RCMP arrested potential protestors prior to the protests. No crime. No complaint. not even a bylaw violation. Of course Chretien put an end to the inquiry once the request came for him to testify.
