An interesting read - I wished I could say I was surprised but what is happening with the RCMP involvement with the Fairy Creek blockades and RCMP/Coastal Gas Link relationship on Wet'suwet'en territories in BC is another example of something toxic happening within the RCMP.

Paul Palango's book is one hell of a page turner. It's so many things at once: a primer on investigative reporting, an incisive commentary on the failings of mainstream journalism and most of all, a chronicle of RCMP bungling, secrecy, concealment and lying. I can't believe how doggedly he worked on this story under extremely adverse circumstances, both personal and political. The best investigative reporters always follow one main rule: talk to absolutely everybody --- and more than once if you need to --- and listen to what they say. I'm glad this interview provided additional insights into the weaknesses inherent in the Mass Casualty Commission, weaknesses that have become increasingly apparent since the book went to press.
