The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), entrusted with upholding the law and protecting Canadians, has devolved into a cesspool of incompetence, cowardice, and complicity that allows corruption to fester unchecked among Canada’s political elite and criminal underbelly. This national police force, led by the spineless Commissioner Michael Duheme, has failed spectacularly in its singular duty to enforce justice, instead enabling a parade of corrupt politicians and bureaucrats to plunder public resources, manipulate legal processes, and evade accountability with impunity. The RCMP’s inaction is not mere laziness; it is a betrayal of every Canadian who relies on them to stem the tide of lawlessness. From high-profile scandals like SNC-Lavalin to the insidious spread of foreign interference and organized crime, the RCMP’s refusal to act decisively has turned Canada into a playground for criminals, drug traffickers, and corrupt officials who operate without fear of consequences. This report lays bare the RCMP’s failures, naming the politicians and bureaucrats who have exploited this institutional rot, and exposes a force so mired in dysfunction that it may well be the biggest criminal enabler in Canada.
The SNC-Lavalin affair stands as a glaring monument to the RCMP’s gutless approach to political corruption. In 2019, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his inner circle, including senior aides like Gerald Butts and Michael Wernick, pressured then-Attorney General Jody Wilson-Raybould to secure a Deferred Prosecution Agreement for SNC-Lavalin, a Quebec-based firm accused of paying $48 million in bribes to Libyan officials. The Ethics Commissioner, Mario Dion, confirmed Trudeau violated section 9 of the Conflict of Interest Act by attempting to subvert justice for political gain, a scandal that cost Wilson-Raybould and Jane Philpott their cabinet positions. The RCMP, tasked with investigating potential obstruction of justice under section 139 of the Criminal Code, announced in August 2019 that it would not pursue charges, citing inaccessible evidence due to Cabinet confidences and solicitor-client privilege. This excuse reeks of cowardice, as the RCMP failed to push for legal mechanisms to access critical documents or challenge the government’s stonewalling. Trudeau walked free, his reputation tarnished but his freedom intact, while the RCMP’s inaction signaled to every politician that they could meddle in judicial processes without fear of prosecution. The public’s outrage, voiced on X with claims that “Trudeau would be in jail if he weren’t PM,” reflects the betrayal felt by Canadians who see the RCMP as a lapdog for the powerful rather than a guardian of justice.
The WE Charity scandal further exposes the RCMP’s refusal to confront Liberal corruption. In 2020, Trudeau’s government awarded a $912 million sole-source contract to WE Charity, an organization that paid Trudeau’s mother, Margaret Trudeau, $250,000 and his brother, Alexandre Trudeau, $32,000 for speaking engagements. Former Finance Minister Bill Morneau, whose daughter worked for WE Charity and who accepted $41,000 in reimbursed travel from the group, failed to recuse himself from the decision. The Ethics Commissioner found ethical breaches but no criminality, and the RCMP did not even bother to investigate, dismissing the case as an ethical matter. This failure to probe potential influence peddling or fraud allowed Trudeau and Morneau to escape unscathed, with Morneau’s resignation serving as a political sacrifice rather than a legal consequence. Canadians on X raged, calling the RCMP “useless” for letting “Liberal cronies” siphon public funds, yet the force remained silent, content to let the scandal fade without a single charge. This pattern of inaction emboldens politicians to treat public resources as personal piggy banks, knowing the RCMP lacks the will to intervene.
Foreign interference in Canada’s elections, particularly involving Liberal MP Han Dong, reveals the RCMP’s complicity in allowing national security threats to flourish. The 2024 NSICOP report detailed how China orchestrated support for Dong’s 2019 nomination in Don Valley North, busing 175–200 international students to vote under threat of visa revocation. CSIS confirmed China’s “significant” role, yet the RCMP’s ongoing investigation has produced no charges against Dong or any other implicated parliamentarians. The force’s excuse—that classified intelligence cannot be used in court—is a cop-out that shields traitors while exposing Canadians to foreign manipulation. Dong, now an Independent MP, continues to deny knowledge, but the RCMP’s failure to act leaves the public vulnerable to further interference. X users have branded Dong a “traitor” and the RCMP a “disgrace,” accusing the force of protecting Liberal insiders like Dominic LeBlanc, the Public Safety Minister who oversees the RCMP and refuses to name NSICOP-implicated MPs. LeBlanc’s silence, coupled with his own ethical breach in 2018 for awarding a fishing contract to a family member, underscores how the RCMP’s inaction enables a culture of untouchability among Liberal elites.
The RCMP’s handling of the 2020 Nova Scotia mass shooting inquiry further cements its reputation as a bumbling, complicit force. When a gunman killed 22 people while disguised as an RCMP officer, the force failed to warn the public via the provincial alert system, relying instead on a single tweet at 11:30 p.m. that downplayed the crisis as a “weapons complaint.” Superintendent Darren Campbell’s notes revealed that Commissioner Brenda Lucki, under pressure from Trudeau and then-Public Safety Minister Bill Blair, pushed to release details about the killer’s firearms to bolster the government’s gun control agenda. This interference, a potential violation of police independence, went unpunished, as the RCMP launched no criminal investigation into Trudeau or Blair. The inquiry exposed the RCMP’s failure to act on prior reports of the gunman’s illegal weapons and domestic abuse, allowing him to rampage for 13 hours. The CBC reported that the RCMP withheld key details, including the victim count, and misled families about their loved ones’ deaths, with one car returned containing gun casings and body parts. X posts lambasted the RCMP as “incompetent” and “corrupt,” accusing Lucki of prioritizing political optics over public safety. The force’s refusal to hold its own accountable, let alone political masters, proves it is more concerned with self-preservation than justice.
Mark Carney’s brief tenure as Liberal leader in 2025, tainted by allegations of conflict of interest, further illustrates the RCMP’s refusal to confront powerful figures. Carney, while advising Trudeau’s government, allegedly leveraged his role at Brookfield Asset Management to secure government contracts, a scheme outlined in a 2024 parliamentary document listing 103 conflicted entities. An open letter from retired RCMP officers Peter Merrifield and Paul McNamara, dated April 12, 2025, accused Carney of endorsing a “cesspool of corruption” by retaining ministers like Marco Mendicino, Dominic LeBlanc, and Bill Blair, who enabled CSIS and RCMP misuse of spyware against Canadians, including union leader Merrifield. The RCMP’s failure to investigate Carney’s financial ties or the spyware scandal, which violated Charter rights by targeting innocent citizens, shows a force too timid to challenge Liberal insiders. X users, like @newscoreca, demanded probes into Carney’s “illegal” contracts, but the RCMP’s silence allowed him to escape scrutiny, reinforcing the perception that it protects the Liberal machine at all costs.
The RCMP’s internal corruption, exposed by a 2007 study uncovering 322 incidents from 1995 to 2005, including officers leaking information to criminals and protecting illegal activities, proves the force is rotten from within. Under Duheme’s leadership, this rot persists, with no robust anti-corruption strategy implemented. A 2013 class-action lawsuit by nearly 300 female Mounties alleging harassment highlights a toxic culture that Duheme has failed to address, further eroding public trust. The 2023 case of former Surrey RCMP constable Dawwd Soukary, charged with 13 counts of drug trafficking, breach of trust, and theft after a covert anti-corruption probe, shows that even when the RCMP acts, it does so reactively, only after public pressure. The force’s delay in charging Soukary, arrested in 2021 but not charged until 2023, reeks of foot-dragging, as noted by former B.C. solicitor general Kash Heed, who criticized the RCMP’s lack of credibility. This internal decay ensures the RCMP cannot police itself, let alone Canada’s elite.
Organized crime flourishes under the RCMP’s watch, with Duheme’s incompetence allowing drug trafficking and auto theft to skyrocket. In 2023, drug offences drove a 3% rise in the Non-violent Crime Severity Index, with 313 organized crime groups, 71 linked to cocaine importation, operating with impunity. British Columbia, Ontario, and Quebec are overrun with marijuana grow-ops and synthetic drug labs, with fentanyl killing Canadians at unprecedented rates. The RCMP’s own reports admit that synthetic drug trafficking has reached “unprecedented levels,” yet Duheme’s force has failed to dismantle these networks, leaving local police to clean up the mess. Car theft, up 5% in 2023 with 286 incidents per 100,000 people, is driven by groups like the Hells Angels, who fund drug and gun smuggling with stolen vehicles. The RCMP’s role in the 2024 National Action Plan on Combatting Auto Theft was marginal, with the Canada Border Services Agency intercepting 2,277 vehicles while the RCMP processed INTERPOL alerts, a pathetic contribution that highlights Duheme’s inability to lead a crackdown. X users decry the RCMP as a “national embarrassment,” with one stolen car every six minutes mocking their supposed crime-fighting mandate.
The RCMP’s historical scandals, from the 1972 barn-burning in Quebec to the 1973 theft of Parti Québécois membership lists, reveal a long-standing pattern of lawlessness enabled by weak leadership. The 1977 Keable Inquiry charged 17 RCMP members with 44 offences, yet the force learned nothing, continuing its pattern of shielding the powerful. The 1997 APEC Summit saw the RCMP use excessive force against protesters at the behest of the government, with a public inquiry confirming political interference. The 2002 Maher Arar case, where the RCMP wrongly provided information leading to his torture in Syria, ended with a $10.5 million settlement but no charges against officers. These failures, spanning decades, show a force that prioritizes political loyalty over justice, a legacy Duheme upholds with his refusal to confront corruption head-on.
Politicians like Mary Ng, who awarded $16,950 in contracts to a friend’s company in 2022, and Chrystia Freeland, who ignored spyware and labour rights violations as Deputy Prime Minister, exemplify the RCMP’s failure to hold Liberals accountable. Ng’s ethical breach, confirmed by the Ethics Commissioner, went uninvestigated by the RCMP, despite potential fraud implications. Freeland’s inaction on national security leaks, including unredacted documents exposing Canadians to Chinese retaliation, drew no RCMP scrutiny, despite violating section 38 of the Canada Evidence Act. Ministers like Mélanie Joly and Arif Virani, who failed to address these leaks, and David McGuinty, who ignored CSIS withholding information from the RCMP, operate without fear of prosecution, knowing the RCMP lacks the spine to act. The force’s oversight by LeBlanc, a minister tainted by his own ethical violations, creates a conflict where the fox guards the henhouse, ensuring no Liberal faces justice.
The RCMP’s structural flaws amplify its failures. The Civilian Review and Complaints Commission, meant to oversee the force, is toothless, with non-binding recommendations that Duheme ignores. The RCMP Act’s vague language, placing the Commissioner “under the direction” of the Public Safety Minister, invites political meddling, as seen in the Nova Scotia inquiry. The force’s refusal to adopt polygraph tests for recruits, as suggested by Heed, allows criminals like Soukary to infiltrate its ranks. The 2021 Mass Casualty Commission and other external reviews have exposed systemic incompetence, yet Duheme’s Reform, Accountability and Culture sector, established in 2023, is a hollow gesture that changes nothing. The RCMP’s reliance on provincial oversight bodies, like Alberta’s ASIRT, which lack consistency or public trust, further undermines accountability. Canadians on X, echoing criminologists like Kent Roach, demand an overhaul, with one user stating, “The RCMP is a broken system that protects crooks in suits.”
The RCMP’s inaction has real consequences: billions in public funds looted through rigged contracts, communities ravaged by drugs, and elections tainted by foreign influence. Every overdose death, every stolen car, every unpunished politician traces back to Duheme’s doorstep. His leadership is a masterclass in cowardice, allowing criminals to thrive while the public suffers. The RCMP’s failure to investigate Alberta Health Services’ Athana Mentzelopoulos, fired before exposing inflated contracts linked to a politically connected figure, shows a force that reacts only when cornered by public outcry. The Charbonneau Commission in Quebec exposed price-fixing and illegal donations, yet the RCMP has not pursued similar corruption nationally. Ontario’s $1.3 billion auto insurance fraud, involving corrupt officers, goes unchecked under Duheme’s watch. The RCMP is not just failing; it is enabling Canada’s collapse into a lawless state where politicians, bureaucrats, and criminals laugh at justice.
This report demands that Canadians, politicians, and the RCMP itself confront the ugly truth: the force is a hollow shell, complicit in the very crimes it is meant to stop. Trudeau, Morneau, Dong, Carney, LeBlanc, Ng, Freeland, Joly, Virani, McGuinty, and their ilk operate without fear, knowing Duheme’s RCMP will never touch them. The public’s fury, evident in X posts calling for the RCMP’s dissolution, is justified. The force’s inaction is not laziness—it is a deliberate betrayal, making it the biggest enabler of crime in Canada. Every day Duheme remains Commissioner, every moment the RCMP shirks its duty, is a slap in the face to Canadians who deserve a police force that fights for them, not for the corrupt elite.
