Scandal is an inappropriate word for the title of this article. "Controversy" is the appropriate term. "Scandal" implies definite wrongdoing on the part of the RCMP of great severity, and often scandals become known to the public against the offender's wishes. I'm not going to change it yet because I'm only one person, but "scandal" is simplistic and inflammatory language. Wannabe rockstar ( talk) 20:33, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

While most of this article looks pretty good, I believe there are serious neutrality issues with the most recently-added section, 'Racist Murderer gets easy treatment'. (It was added by User:Joybuzzard on December 8th.) The title alone is not neutral, and violates WP:BLP; we shouldn't call people 'murderers' who haven't been convicted of it unless we have very strong grounds to do so, which is not the case here. I'm going to rename it to the less problematic 'Death of Leo LaChance'. The content of the section could also use a rewrite; and it would be good to have more sources to prove that this was, in fact, a major scandal or controversy and so deserves to be included on this page in the first place. Terraxos ( talk) 17:11, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
The Gustafsen Lake Standoff was heavily involved with the RCMP (The Armed Forces were not involved, unlike the Oka Crisis. I was really young at the time, but I do hear about the media black out by the RCMP and the government. Is there enough reliable sources about this whole thing to move further and add it to this article. I don't have a clue where to begin looking at this accept the mainsteam news papers like The Province, and such. But these are the exact media sources that blacked out the incident, so how do you site that? lol Anyways, just a thought I'd like to throw out there.

What criteria must an event meet in order to be listed as a scandal in this article? Sancho 14:46, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
Dictionary.com says:
1. a disgraceful or discreditable action, circumstance, etc. 2. an offense caused by a fault or misdeed. 3. damage to reputation; public disgrace. 4. defamatory talk; malicious gossip. 5. a person whose conduct brings disgrace or offense.
So, it would include actions which damage the reputation of the RCMP. It's difficult, because even if, like in the Ian Bush case, officers are cleared of any wrongdoing, a) that doesn't mean damage hasn't been done, and b) it may simply create a worse reputation for the RCMP's ability to investigate itself. - TheMightyQuill ( talk) 15:09, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
This article says that "widespread public opinion" hoped for larger public insight into cases involving the RCMP, and the MP for Skeena-Bulkley Valley, Nathan Cullen, called the findings "disappointing." "I attended days at the inquiry. Having seen the testimony and watched what came forward, it's very difficult to believe entirely the officer's story." Good enough for a keep, but I think better stuff can be found. - TheMightyQuill ( talk) 14:03, 19 July 2008 (UTC) And here is a specific use of the word scandal to describe his death. - TheMightyQuill ( talk) 14:05, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
I'd initially created this article to deal with the scandals of the 1970s that led to the RCMP being stripped of power and CSIS formed, but it now seems to have moved towards a bit more tabloidy scandal-sheet. I'd propose either trimming it back to the original, merging its section on Ian Bush to Ian Bush and including the link in a "See also" section (same with all other post-1979 incidents) -- or else splitting the article to create Timeline of the RCMP Security Service scandals or something similar. Sherurcij ( speaker for the dead) 14:12, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
Another case that probably belongs in this article is the killing of Kevin St. Arnaud by an RCMP officer in Vanderhoof, B.C. in 2004 and the arguably botched investigation into this incident. Bill ( talk) 02:24, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
I think the recent case of Jeff Hughes should be added. [http://www.stormfront.org/forum/showthread.php?t=651543 Stormfront thread, with links] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.110.233.119 ( talk) 03:30, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
I've removed the section regarding the drunk driving charges against Constable Benjamin Robinson because this doesn't meet the criteria of a scandal or contraversy. Although sad and severe that a motorcyclist died, this incident did not occur while an officer was on-duty. In addition, there hasn't been an accusation that the investigation, arrest, or charging of Benjamin Robinson was improper. The only reason this got any media was because the officer was involved in the Dziekanski scandal. Since this scandal has its own Wiki page, it would be appropriate to add this to that page but it doesn't deserve its own section on this page. DivaNtrainin ( talk) 16:01, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
I am asking for feedback regarding the removal of the section regarding the death of Leo LaChance. The contraversy regarding LaChance's death was not in relation to the RCMP's activities. The contraversy relates to the fact that the Justice Department layed lesser charges in the death of LaChance and that Carney Nerland only served four years before going into witness protection. Refer to THE KILLING OF LEO LACHANCE. However, charges and sentencing are things decided by the Justice Departement, not the RCMP. This section incorrectly blames the RCMP for something not within their control. It should be removed and moved to another page. DivaNtrainin ( talk) 02:06, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
With the recent 2011 Vancouver Stanley Cup riot I was trying to find more about civil unrest in Vancouver and recall the 1994 Vancouver Stanley Cup riot as well as the 1997 APEC Summit. I wish there was more information about the APEC summit, the only page that really covers it is this one.
My point, however, is that there is a Category Riots_and_civil_unrest_in_Canada ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Riots_and_civil_unrest_in_Canada ). The 1997 APEC Summit qualifies but is not listed. I don't know enough about Wikipedia, is is possible to put that one topic into the category? Are there other topics covered in this article that belong in that category? -- Michaeldunn123 ( talk) 17:15, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

I have suggested that Police officers charged criminally in Canadabe merged to List of controversies involving the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. If all Canadian Police aren't Royal Canadian Mounted Police then change the name of the list to. List of controversies involving the Canadian Police then have a section for each type of Police in Canada. I tried to fix it. What I did was take the names out so it dont fail WP:BLP. It did not name, names. I did not revert it, like the others did without really looking at it and seeing the changes.(there was a mini edit war) If there was a problem with the refs after what I did he should have said so here until a consensus was reached and not revered it. I think it will be deleted but it needs to be done the right way. I just came to help when it was listed here Wikipedia:Article_Rescue_Squadron/Rescue_list#Police_officers_charged_criminally_in_Canada.

Ivanvector, you are wrong with your interpretation of the policy. It has been clarified umpteen times on WP:RSN that external links must comply with WP:RS, otherwise we would see people dumping their personal websites all the time. A source has to be reliable to be included in WP:EL and policies of external link also apply on further reading, per MOS:FURTHER. MBlaze Lightning talk 17:26, 26 July 2018 (UTC)
It is supposed to be safe in Canada because RCMP protects Canadians. Over 14 hours a madman wreaked havoc on the people of Nova Scotia, and the RCMP did everything properly.
It looks like the killer was an informant for the Mounties. Small wonder they reacted so poorly to get their CI. https://www.macleans.ca/news/canada/the-nova-scotia-shooter-case-has-hallmarks-of-an-undercover-operation/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.6.97.142 ( talk) 15:03, 3 August 2020 (UTC)

Ivanvector, you are wrong with your interpretation of the policy. It has been clarified umpteen times on WP:RSN that external links must comply with WP:RS, otherwise we would see people dumping their personal websites all the time. A source has to be reliable to be included in WP:EL and policies of external link also apply on further reading, per MOS:FURTHER. MBlaze Lightning talk 17:26, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

It looks like the killer was an informant for the Mounties. Small wonder they reacted so poorly to get their CI. https://www.macleans.ca/news/canada/the-nova-scotia-shooter-case-has-hallmarks-of-an-undercover-operation/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.6.97.142 ( talk) 15:03, 3 August 2020 (UTC)
