Is it a story now?
We can now confirm that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Financial Crimes Unit (RCMP) has opened a criminal investigation into CSA conduct. FYI, the Financial Crimes Unit has responsibility for government corruption cases. We can further confirm that the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) has initiated at least two criminal investigations into CSA activities in the United States.
So I wrote the minister of industry, James Moore, a while back and suggested that he look into this issue because, as an engineer, I had real concerns about the efficacy of the CSA, given the current stories about its practices. He told me that there was basically no issue. I wonder what he would say now…
It is time to rub some salt in that wound.
James Moore must have some serious dirt on Harper to keep his job
Maybe they all have their fingers in the pie.
Moore isn’t going to rock the boat. He’s not a maverick who is going to attract attention picking a fight with the entrenched interests within the CSA. Much easier to cut ribbons and appear at photo ops.
What’s of concern is that if the investigations progress to criminal charges in the near future this could become a real scandal and could damage the Tories’s election prospects. This should have been dealt with much earlier so that the current government could plausibly claim that it was a legacy of the previous government.
That said, better late than never.
PERP WALK! PERP WALK PERP WALK!
Damn, I am out of popcorn….
