I really appreciate this incisive article, which combines information and analysis so well. Yes, here in the States we tend to regard Canadians and Canadian institutions as ineffectual and harmless. Like all stereotypes it is unfair, even to the Mounties, who, one supposes, want to be regarded as big and dangerous like self-respecting police everywhere. But much worse is the way such stereotypes fill our minds and close us off to the truth.
Wow, so many interesting things going on here. I would have loved to read this during my classes on police and the criminal justice system. If I teach that module again, I will propose this reading to the students. Also, I'm going to look differently at my cute little MP teddy bear.
