I used my years of experience at Copy&Paste.
And the skill clearly shows, but i note that the person you quoted in that story ALSO doesn't have any experience as a police officer or investigator
this one was weighing & measuring both claims against each other.

I don't know - i see little value in repeating the arguments of the apologists. He seems to agree that it's political interference and there's really not a lot of argument against that , i think we should just deal with what it is.

Audio has now emerged providing pretty clear evidence that Lucki attempted to intervene in the Nova Scotia mass shooting investigation in order to provide political cover for a Liberal gun ban. To which Lucki is holding firm that whatever it seems is occurring on the tape, it didn’t actually happen. “I did not, nor did I attempt to interfere in the criminal investigation into the 2020 mass casualty event in Nova Scotia, on behalf of Minister Blair, or the prime minister,” she recently told the House of Commons Public Safety Committee.

The Emergencies Act inquiry has obtained texts that Lucki sent to other senior police officials calling for their support of the Emergencies Act. Basically no senior police official anywhere was calling for the Act before the Liberal government invoked it. Lucki sent a text to her Ontario Provincial Police counterpart asking “Has Minister Blair hit you up for a letter to support the EA?” When queried by reporters why she had sent this — and whether it was another attempt to provide political cover for the Liberals — Lucki replied that she didn’t know.

Eroding public trust in the RCMP certainly isn’t going to be helped by a recent revelation at Nova Scotia’s Mass Casualty Commission.

That is that there was a now-deleted recording of a controversial phone call between RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki and senior RCMP officers in the province that raised questions about political interference by the Trudeau government into the investigation of the mass killing in which 22 people were murdered in April 2020.

Mountie has ‘impression’ Liberal government interfered with N.S. mass shooting probe
Chief Supt. Chris Leather made the comment at the public inquiry into the rampage during cross-examination

HALIFAX — A senior Mountie testified Thursday he believes political interference was behind RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki’s determination to have police release details on the guns used in the Nova Scotia mass shooting.

MacDonald asked if Leather believed, after the officer participated in a teleconference with Lucki shortly after the shootings, that the commissioner’s comments reflected political interference in the criminal probe underway at the time.

RCMP Chief Supt. Darren Campbell has alleged that during a meeting on April 28, 2020, Lucki said she promised the Prime Minister’s Office that the information on the guns would be released in connection with the Liberal government’s “pending gun control legislation.”

The government was in the midst of drafting fresh gun control measures to reduce access to semi-automatic weapons in the days following the mass shooting. Campbell and Leather both testified this week that releasing the information on the guns would have interfered with the ongoing investigation into who provided the killer with the semi-automatic weapons.

Lucki has denied interfering in the police investigation. Blah, blah, blah, etc..
We don’t know how this could have happened , trust us .
….and she’s out. Retirement March 17th, announced the day after the Ethics Commissioner bails out.
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.
