Beleaguered
RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki is leaving her post as head of the Mounties.
In a public statement, Commissioner Lucki said she has decided to retire. Her last day will be March 17.
Back in November, however, Commissioner Lucki, who has dealt with a series of controversies that has put the Trudeau government on the defensive,
said she did not want to step aside. Her five-year term would have come up for renewal in March.
The Globe and Mail reported last November, citing three unnamed senior government officials, that the federal cabinet was dissatisfied with her stewardship of the RCMP. They pointed to what they call her poor communication skills and the mishandling of major files such as the Nova Scotia mass shooting, the Emergencies Act and systemic racism within the RCMP.

In the end, she’s still a female, Trudeau has a bus to throw them under, it’s 2015-ish, gender balance something something feminism etc…
Conservative public safety critic Raquel Dancho reacted to news of Commissioner Lucki’s exit, calling on Minister Blair to leave his post as well “for misleading Canadians about political interference and pressure he and his government placed” on the top Mountie in relation to the Nova Scotia mass killing. “One of the responsible parties is stepping down, but that does not exonerate the other. Now is the time for Minister Blair to do the right thing and resign,” says Ms. Dancho.
Tomorrow is another day. That is all.
