Just a coincidence

I was interested to read today that the RCMP concluded its investigation of the income trust affair and had exonerated the previous Liberal government from any wrongdoing in the investigation of last year's income trust announcements. In fact, the only person charged after "an exhaustive investigation" by the RCMP was a senior Department of Finance bureaucrat. (RCMP Release).

In a *completely unrelated* announcement, PM Steve's government announced today that they will be increasing the number of Mounties they are sendng to Afghanistan tenfold (from 6 to 66), by sending an additional 60 to be part of the Afghan mission.

Like the Chief Electoral officer before them, the RCMP will have to learn that there are consequences for not going along with Steve's politically motivated schemes. I can only assume that next week, Public Safety Minister Day will be opening up a Gulag in Inuvialuit as part of Canada's New Government's crackdown on crime.
