To investigate a crime scene where the perp is dead and everyone in the country already knows what happened?
Eighteen months, believe it or not.

As usual, they will wait until most people have forgotten this issue. (And it takes the parents of one of the slain RCMP officers to demand an accounting!?!) Considering that this whackjob was running around on the loose for YEARS in that community, it is understandable why the feds would prefer this issue to be dropped- it only serves to make the public take a hard look at what our ‘criminal justice system’ is doing to us.
Mark steyn mentions you in an interview with the blog rightwing news.

John Hawkins: So what blogs are you reading regularly these days?
Mark Steyn: I read a wide range. They come and go, but I�m still reading many of those I mentioned to you last time round, like Natalie Solent in Britain and Tim Blair down under. Going back to my earlier point about the dullness of many newspaper comment pages, look at, say, Saskatchewan: it�s got a yawnsville newspaper – The Saskatoon Star-Phoenix � and one of the sharpest bloggers on the planet, Kate McMillan. I don’t know Miss McMillan, never met her, doubt I ever will, but she’s a thousand times pithier and more insightful than the fellows holding down the columnar real estate at the Star-Phoenix.
Yay! Kate gets an extra day off, (without pay.)
Last week Arnie and I watched a show on the Canadian History Channel, about a 13 YEAR investigation of theft at Pearson Airport that ended with the perp getting 9 months in jail.
It’s great to be a criminal in Canada. Look at Air India – 20 years and the guy got off – and people are surprised the guy got off. I can’t remember what I ate for breakfast but witnesses are supposed to remain credible and remember every detail 20 years later. Lets have an inquiry and get to the bottom of this. We don’t need yet another bloody inquiry – 20 years is the answer!
Kathy: These things take time, yaknow……..(overtime, even).
Not only does it cast aspersion on the criminal justice system, but the gun registry as well. The guy had an arsenal full of weaponry and I highly doubt any of it was registered.
But the reason they do what they do is because it’s a fact whether people want to face it or not – if you wait long enough most Cdns will forget about it. That’s what politicians count on and they win time and again.
The nice thing about blogging on these issues is that you can view readily any topic under the archives to bring it back into the limelight.
Those officers were slaughter for the lambs and the RCMP know it. They will never admit that they made tragic errors which resulted in the killing of these officers.
Homolka seeks protection from media
CBC News – 5 hours ago
Fearing for her life once she’s released from prison, convicted killer Karla Homolka is going to court to seek an injunction that would ban media coverage of her. The injunction request, which will be heard …

CBC Headline from last night’s local broadcast.
“Anger over arrests.”
Two prominent First Nations activists, who say they’re on a mission to help native youth, were arrested in a full-scale police takedown on the Burrard bridge on Monday.
CBC’s “activists” are members of the West Coast Warrior Society. The pair say the Tsawataineuk wants to teach its youth how to hunt and survive in the outdoors…
They had 10,000 rounds of ammunition. That’s a lot of practising.
I’d suspect that anybody that is arrested experiences some anger.
But in this case, the CBC was angry party. How dare the police wrongly interfere with the “activists” good works?
Why the long official inquest on a crime where perp and victims are not there to testify….well, Kate this is Canada….reality and the “official truth” are two separate matters…this process in motion is standard procedure to create the reality needed to save the fat bacon of the bureaucrats/bureaucracy that fouled up and was essentially complicit in the crime.
When the smoke and mirrors are cleared away from this one, I’m willing to bet we are no closer to the truth as to WHY a known armed sociopathic convict had a banned weapon and why he was treated with the flippancy displayed by the RCMP detachment brass?
Sloppy police work, pathetic public safety from the pointless gun registry, and the menacing disregard for the community the parole system has shown.
Don’t expect these culprits to be cited for “review” when this expensive dog and pony show wraps up……it’s not about justice , it’s about feeding a legal industry full of publicly fattened lawyers and judges.
If I sound jaded it’s because I am…I’m a tax payer sick to death of the ineptitude and corruption I recieve for my tax burden.
I’m afraid the actual course of action here is for the RCMP to add even more padding to the administrative fiefdoms already there. It’s a natural reaction pursued by statist bureaucracies everywhere. The well paid administrators wander around doing little, while preening and looking important in their self-styled fashion. Whenever trouble hits they all assume some other layer of the bureaucracy has tended to it already. When it’s soon discovered that no one has done anything an enormous effort is launched to hide from and shift blame.
I just learned about you from CQ’s reference to the Mark Steyn Interviews. I read both regularly with great relief in knowing there are others who think as I do.
I have barely had time to peruse much of your site, but you are bookmarked for daily read from here on.
I loved your air brush work. I am a life long biker … started in the 60s on Truimphs … then Harley … now Ducati Monster 620.
As I read more of your scrbblings, both blog and personal, my heart was a thumpin’.
You have inspired me!

Cal,
You’ve only touched the tip of the iceberg. 10,000 rounds of ammunition is definitely a lot of practice. I wonder why they were able to purchase this amount. As I understand it there are restrictions on purchasing ammo in this country, but being Native Americans perhaps they were able to bring this equipment in from south of the border, free and unlimited access! When are we going to wake up!!!!
Don Stewart,
CBC’s oddball take on the story grabbed me more than the story itself.
But they are currently advertising their made for TV movie “Cowboys and Indians”.
I don’t think anyone needs to wait with bated breath to find out who they put the white hats on.
An RCMP officer must develop the patience of Jobe.
They go to the effort to produce evidence in court that convicts a violent offender of smashing someone’s face and almost blinding them with the broken eyeglasses.
This was an unprovoked attack, yet the judge allows this felon to walk with some community service penalty.
Martin lays work bonuses on all his non-performing Govt. lackeys so they will not squeal on Libscamming, but he can not afford six months room and board for a knuckle dragger who goes about breaking faces.
Some law and order we have in this country.
If you have the slightest doubt about this factual story, then don’t. I can provide photo-copies of the original court papers.
The felon in question had similar priors, but that was inadmissible in court.

The bottom line? The Gun Registry, all $2,000,000,000 worth of it, is having NO measurable impact on firearms deaths among Canadians. It is not controlling the types of weapons or behaviour that are killing Canadians (the use of handguns in the commission of crimes); and it CANNOT control whether Canadians eat a bullet from a legally purchased and registered weapon. IT IS NOT SAVING LIVES.
So what, precisely, is it doing? Other, of course, than blowing through my money like Paul Martin facing a confidence vote?

What did it do/what is it doing?
The setting up of this charade was a ploy by the Librano$$$$$$$ to capture the votes of bleeding hearts; that worked for the Librano$$$$$$$$.
Now it is used as a make-work program to keep Librano$$$$$$$$$ on your payroll as a voting block for the Librano$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
It is still working for the Librano$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
A big bang for the Librano$$$$$$$ from your bucks.
$2,000,000,000 buys alot of advertising…in Quebec.
Sorry Kate, but accuracy maters. Eighteen months? No, sorry, more like just about four months. And believe me, I share your basic concerns. This was a tragedy that in retrospect was predictable, given the management ethos. But … lets not prejudge the investigation .. it’s actually more like 18 weeks…
Gordon
10,000 rounds of what? If it’s .22 rimfire, and you’re teaching 50 kids to shoot, that’s 200 rounds apiece. As a firearms safety instructor, I can tell you that some of them won’t be able to keep 10 out of 10 on paper after 200 rounds, let alone shoot a decent score. Of course the CBC thinks all ammunition is armour-piercing and high explosive.
OH, I get it now.
The Gun Registry is a libscamming make work project. How many Liberal brothers, cousins, uncles, aunts, girlfriends, neighbours and golf pals have an office with a desk and a phone and time on their hands?
Don’t laugh, I knew a guy in Calgary who had an office, a desk and a phone but nothing to do for a full year.
I worked with him the following year on a survey crew. He said he had to get some time in the outdoors after his government job. 73s TG
