Enforce *Yawn* Law? ...ho hum

The CBC reported on the Grewal tapes on tonight's National. They gave it about 2 minutes. If this was the United States, and sometimes I wish Canada had similar media attention to crimes of the government, it would be on the news for weeks if not months until justice was seen to be done.

What pissed me off more was Peter Mansbridge telling Canadians the RCMP hasn't decided whether they were going to investigate. What?

What right does the RCMP have to make a decision on whether or not to protect the public from criminal activity? Does that mean the RCMP is maintaining the status quo of politicians being above the law? Do I not as a Canadian citizen have a right under s. 15 of the Charter to be protected under these laws? Why is it they get to decide whether or not they do their jobs and enforce Part IV of the Criminal Code to protect the public?

What are they afraid of that the Liberals will cut money from their funding and thus making them prone to political manipulation?

Justice is about justice, not always about convictions. I know that I am sick and tired of seeing politicians getting away with crimes that the rest of us would get charged for.

Perhaps the RCMP should remember the 1970 Supreme Court decision of R. v. Drybones making it illegal to punish a group of people more severely than another. Group 1 = the common Canadian vs. Group 2 = the politician, in particular, the Liberal politician.
