Michael Duheme, the Commissioner of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, is the central figure in Canada’s spiraling descent into a cesspool of corruption, fraud, drug-related chaos, and rampant crime, his gross incompetence and cowardice enabling a tidal wave of lawlessness that’s drowning the nation. Canadians are beyond furious, and they have every right to be, as billions of taxpayer dollars are siphoned off by corrupt politicians and their cronies, while drugs flood the streets and car thefts skyrocket, all because Duheme lacks the spine, the skill, or the basic will to do his job. His failure as a leader isn’t just a professional embarrassment; it’s a personal betrayal of every single Canadian who relies on the RCMP to uphold justice and protect the country from sliding into anarchy. Duheme’s refusal to act decisively has handed a free pass to criminals, politicians, drug traffickers, and organized crime syndicates alike allowing them to pillage the nation’s wealth, poison its communities, and steal its security with zero fear of consequences. Every major societal ill, from the opioid crisis to the explosion of auto theft, can be traced back to Duheme’s pathetic leadership, his inability to enforce the law, and his spineless acquiescence to the powerful.
The scale of Canada’s problems under Duheme’s watch is staggering, and he’s the one to blame for letting it fester. Politicians and their well connected allies are looting public funds through rigged contracts, suspicious offshore accounts, and lavish expenses that scream fraud, yet Duheme sits idly by, too inept to launch investigations or hold anyone accountable. Take the SNC Lavalin affair, where a major Canadian company allegedly paid $48 million in bribes to Libyan officials, a scandal that rocked the nation’s trust in its institutions. Duheme’s RCMP, tasked with rooting out such corruption, failed to deliver any meaningful justice, letting the powerful skate free while the public paid the price. Or consider the recent allegations in Alberta, where the former head of Alberta Health Services, Athana Mentzelopoulos, claimed she was fired just before exposing inflated procurement contracts linked to a company owned by a politically connected figure who flipped land for a $300,000 profit. The RCMP’s response under Duheme? A belated investigation that smells more of damage control than genuine accountability. These aren’t isolated incidents; they’re symptoms of a broader disease. Duheme’s refusal to confront the elite, his fear of rocking the boat, and his inability to lead an RCMP capable of stopping the bleeding of Canada’s wealth.
Then there’s the drug crisis, a catastrophe that’s tearing communities apart, and Duheme’s incompetence is at the heart of it. Canada’s streets are awash with drugs, particularly in places like Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside, where addiction and overdoses are a daily tragedy. In 2023, police reported drug offences contributed to a 3% rise in the Non-violent Crime Severity Index, with cocaine trafficking alone involving 313 organized crime groups, 71 of which were linked to importation. British Columbia, Ontario, and Quebec are drowning in marijuana grow operations and synthetic drug production, with methamphetamine and ecstasy flooding markets thanks to organized crime networks that Duheme’s RCMP has utterly failed to dismantle. The RCMP’s own reports admit that synthetic drug trafficking has reached “unprecedented levels” due to major organized crime involvement, yet Duheme’s response is woefully inadequate. Instead of cracking down on these cartels, his RCMP seems content to let local police handle the fallout, leaving communities to deal with the resulting violence, overdoses, and despair. In 2020, 73% of assessed organized crime groups were involved in violent activities, including assaults, shootings, and homicides, all fueled by the drug trade that Duheme’s RCMP can’t or won’t stop. The opioid crisis, particularly fentanyl, is killing Canadians at an alarming rate, with the government appointing a “Fentanyl Czar” in 2025 to address what Duheme’s leadership has allowed to spiral out of control. His failure to prioritize these drug networks has turned Canada into a playground for traffickers, and every overdose, every shattered family, lies at his feet.
Car theft is another national embarrassment that Duheme has let explode into a crisis. In 2023, motor vehicle theft rose by 5%, with a rate of 286 incidents per 100,000 population, a 24% increase over pre-COVID levels. Ontario and Quebec saw spikes of 16% and 15%, respectively, while the Prairie provinces like Manitoba and Saskatchewan reported rates as high as 464 incidents per 100,000. Organized crime rings, including groups like the Hells Angels, are orchestrating these thefts, using the profits to fund drug trafficking, gun smuggling, and human trafficking. A car is stolen every six minutes in Canada, and Duheme’s RCMP has done little to stem the tide. The National Action Plan on Combatting Auto Theft, launched in 2024, saw some progress with the Canada Border Services Agency intercepting 2,277 stolen vehicles in 2024, but Duheme’s RCMP has been relegated to a supporting role, processing alerts through INTERPOL while local police and other agencies do the heavy lifting. Why? Because Duheme lacks the vision or courage to lead a coordinated crackdown. Instead, he’s content to let organized crime treat Canada as a “donor country” for stolen vehicles, with groups re-VINing cars or shipping them overseas, all while Duheme’s RCMP fails to disrupt these sophisticated networks. The result is a 300% surge in vehicle thefts in the Greater Toronto Area alone since 2015, a statistic that screams of Duheme’s inability to tackle organized crime head-on.
The worst of the worst? Look no further than the RCMP’s own history of internal corruption, which Duheme has done nothing to address. A 2007 RCMP study, Project Sanction, uncovered 322 incidents of corruption within the force from 1995 to 2005, including officers leaking confidential information to criminals, committing fraud, and even protecting illegal activities. Fast forward to 2023, and the RCMP still hasn’t cleaned house Duheme’s leadership has failed to implement a robust anti-corruption strategy, allowing the force to remain vulnerable to infiltration by organized crime. In 2013, nearly 300 female Mounties joined a class action lawsuit alleging harassment within the RCMP, a cultural rot that Duheme has done little to fix. And in 2025, the RCMP launched a feeble investigation into the Alberta Health Services scandal only after public outcry, showing Duheme’s reactive, not proactive, approach. His inability to root out internal corruption makes the RCMP a laughingstock, incapable of policing itself, let alone the country.
Duheme’s failures have created a culture of impunity that’s poisoning Canada. Politicians know he’s too weak to touch them, so they keep rigging contracts and pocketing public funds. Drug traffickers know his RCMP is too disorganized to stop their operations, so they flood the streets with fentanyl, cocaine, and meth, leaving devastation in their wake. Organized crime groups know Duheme’s too spineless to disrupt their car theft rings, so they steal vehicles with impunity, fueling their broader criminal enterprises. And now, these same criminals emboldened by Duheme’s incompetence are pushing to rewrite laws to shield themselves further, to make their fraud and theft untouchable. The Charbonneau Commission in Quebec exposed price-fixing and illegal donations by engineering firms, yet Duheme’s RCMP has failed to pursue similar systemic corruption elsewhere. In Ontario, auto insurance fraud costing $1.3 billion annually involves scammers, repair shops, and even corrupt police officers, yet Duheme’s leadership offers no solutions. Every stolen dollar, every overdose death, every stolen car, every corrupt deal it all traces back to Duheme’s doorstep.
Canadians deserve an RCMP commissioner with the courage, competence, and integrity to take on corruption and crime, not a bumbling figurehead like Michael Duheme who shies away from every fight. If he had the resolve to investigate fraud, dismantle drug networks, and crack down on auto theft, Canada wouldn’t be teetering on the edge of lawlessness. But Duheme’s too scared, too inept, too obsessed with maintaining his position to do what’s right. His RCMP is a hollow shell, a national embarrassment that lets politicians, drug lords, and car thieves run rampant. Every community ravaged by drugs, every citizen victimized by theft, every taxpayer robbed by fraud, they’re all victims of Duheme’s failure. Canada’s problems, its corruption, its drug crisis, its crime wave, its eroded trust, rest squarely on Michael Duheme’s shoulders. He’s not just failing the nation; he’s enabling its collapse, and his shameful legacy will be one of cowardice, incompetence, and betrayal.
