Excuse me while I roll my eyes

So, the RCMP will investigate itself about its role in the massacre of Inuit husky dogs? Excuse me while I roll my eyes.

The RCMP have obviously been ordered by their political masters to do a quick whitewash so the government can use their so-called findings as an excuse not to have a public inquiry.

This so-called investigation is the start of a public relations effort to push this slaughter under the rug. Even before the investigation is complete, they have already concluded that the government is not to blame. What a farce.

They have already started using the word “cull” instead of “slaughter.” In many instances, it was a massacre.

They have started telling stories abut members of their force bringing sled dog pups into some communities to bolster local populations. Excuse me while I puke.

I feel sympathy for the RCMP officers who have been ordered to do this investigation so their political masters can hide behind them.

The best thing the RCMP can do is admit that a slaughter took place and the best way to find facts is through a public inquiry. That is the only conclusion they can reach that would have any credibility.
