DISPERSING THE FOG

Inside the Secret world of Ottawa and the RCMP

 By Paul Palango

 416 pages - $32.95 – Published by Key Porter Books: - “Palango builds on the powerful and influential arguments made in his first two RCMP books, Above the Law, and The Last Guardians, to show Canadians why they should be concerned about the RCMP, its mandate, its performance and its relationship to governments and politics. He provides the answer to questions that have long simmered in the consciousness of Canadians.”

“Dispersing the Fog is not just a book about the RCMP; it addresses the consequences of too much unchecked power being placed in the hands of too few people. It’s also about politicians and the media in general, who have failed to recognize the many concerns Canadians have about the RCMP’s ability and willingness to carry out its duties.”

Palango was kind enough to include some of my writing, and the powerfully stated concerns of retired VPD chief Bob Stewart, over the situation of E Division in British Columbia and the pending renewal of its 20-year contract to be our provincial police force.
