[…] The two also stood together for the news cameras with a group of officers from the RCMP, OPP and Ottawa city police, and talked about Mountie history before a statue of former Northwest Mounted Police commissioner James Farquharson MacLeod.
But the Liberals and their media are apoplectic. The head of the RCMP posed with Conservative Prime Minister-to-be Stephen Harper yesterday. It’s a sight they don’t like to see. No good can come of this. I mean no good for their cause. They fear the worst. And that’s why they have to write a huge story about it, complete with the picture. The awful picture.
If there’s one male couple they don’t like seeing together too much, now that the Conservatives are in power, it is the head of the RCMP and the Conservative Prime Minister. This is disquieting to the liberal-left—not gay group sex in public parlours with or without their wives and boytoy friends in tow.
It’s “their Canada”, remember? Oops! Sorry—not any more! It’s not the Liberals’ Canada any more, it’s our Canada again. Back to normal pictures and sights and sounds!
INCOMING! Here comes the liberals’ reporting. They never retreat! Take cover!
A high-ranking Liberal fumed that the photo opportunity “raises a lot of questions” about the relationship between Harper — whose party had criticized the RCMP for dragging its feet in investigations involving the Liberals — and the senior leadership of the national police force.
“I’m sure (the RCMP) wants to get off on the right foot with the new administration but there is a line that shouldn’t be crossed by either side between open partisanship and neutrality … and we’re getting very close to that line,” said the official, who declined to be named.
…and who probably reminded the reporter that he/she was “completely exonerated” by Judge Gomery, who they appointed a little after appointing the RCMP Commissioner pictured above with the enemy.
But who in tarnation is “raising a lot of questions”? And what questions, exactly? Name names, and list the questions! Where did that comment come from? Where is this story going? Why is this a story? Those are the only legitimate questions here!
And yet it goes on. As I always say, nothing in the liberal-left Canadian mediaworld can really be true unless they first speak to a left-wing university professor, who will dutifully reinforce the story they’re trying to convey after the reporter phones them and asks the exact right questions in the exact right way and then prints only their select answers, even if also offering a bit of a cadence on the way there.
Legal expert Wesley Pue, the associate dean of graduate studies at the University of British Columbia’s law school, pointed out the Liberals’ accusations are “a bit of the pot calling the kettle black” because Liberals are not “lily-white in terms of respecting the distance of the RCMP from political control.”
That was the cadence. They’re not “lily-white”. Huh. They’re reporting that now? The not lily-white Liberals are under countless criminal and corruption investigations. mmmmBut…..
But he also said image-driven events involving political figures and the RCMP should be discouraged.
Well who would know better than a university professor?
But delve a little deeper and in actual fact, this is (hopefully!) a new political scandal in the making. It’s sometimes hard to see—especially when there isn’t a miltary drum beat accompanying the story like in the Liberals’ ads. But ignore all that if you can and just imagine it this way: The liberals are sitting on the john, and they’re constipated, and they’re pushing… trying really, really hard. That’s what this story is, and what many stories are. Now continue.
In reality, see, the Liberals and their ads were right. It’s all part of that whole “police state” that the Liberals advertised—or tried to. This was no pose for the cameras, folks, it’s a conspiracy in the making. The Conservative agenda. They did not make this up, it’s real! The next thing you know, there will be soldiers, with guns, in our streets. In Canada.
The good professor hiding under that tin foil hat is warning us so, in the never-ending news story about the prime minister-to-be who stood with the head of our national police force and had his freaking picture taken.
“The decision on either side for the RCMP to be employed for a feel-good photo opportunity for political purposes, or of the incoming prime minister to use the RCMP for that purpose, is quite unfortunate,” said Pue, an author who has studied the relationship between politicians and the police.
He added that both Harper and Zaccardelli would be well advised to respect the tradition that police forces in Canada “stand above the grubby game” of politics.
“The principle is extremely important, and the RCMP, and the leadership of the RCMP, are not just a backdrop for a nice photo,” he said.
OK I surrender! The new Prime Minister should not pose with the head of the national police force. Law and order and the appearance of that…. is stupid. But lewd and pornographic gay pride festivals and parades through our city streets and through public squares are federally funded and encouraged, and the media writes glowingly about them complete with pictures for our kids to take in and enjoy.
Why don’t they just say all that?
