The Royal Canadian Mounted Police have a worldwide reputation for honour and valor. Today, the Parliament of Canada has cited the Deputy Commissioner of the RCMP, Barbara George, with contempt of Parliament. For you non-Canadians, this means that the number two person in our national police force has been called a liar by our politicians. Her punishment could include anything from censure to jail time, though the latter is highly unlikely.
The situation invites all sorts of sarcasm. Politicians accusing someone else of dishonesty? A cop lying on the stand?
George, who comes across as not the brightest bulb in the lighting store, is quoted as saying that this episode had affected her job prospects. Do ya think, eh?
