Someone needs to fix the dysfunctional relationship between the RCMP and the government. Trudeau may not be the man to do it, writes Justin Ling.

As a general rule, I hate opinion pieces as I feel that they are a major contributor to our slide towards ‘facts don’t matter’ US style political rhetoric. That said, I thought this was an interesting and fact driven piece that if anything was too easy on the RCMP. Sharing a journalist’s request for information with the union, without permission, definitely struck me as a serious lapse in judgment.

    I think the answer is like housing in which case no party really has any desire to even attempt fix it so people should be voting for something they’d plausibly even attempt do.

        even make the slightest attempt to fix the housing problem in this country. None really want to fix the cost of living either.

        There won’t be much affordability with housing prices the way they are.

        I also rank voting reform over housing. Without voting reform the only plausible flip on housing policies won’t come for decades until things get way worse for more Canadians.
