@insite I don't think you're wrong, for that matter I share your thoughts; yes the BC Liberals are testing the will of the people, but you're analogy is a bit off the mark - what is it that you through against the wall to see if it sticks (stinks)? This more aptly describes what the BC Liberlas have been doing all along and missing the true reason they were put into power to achieve. I believe that a provincial police force is a good idea - just look at the provinces who have it; there is sufficient justification? The BC Liberals were in too much of a hurry to jump into an RCMP contract with both feet and we have politicians who do not have any experience with contracts to have anticipated it's pitfalls. Just look at the clowns who have been involved in the process - one of them is now running as a BC Liberla candidate, non other than Peter Fastspender. An independent review is what is needed, without political interference. The process is too little too late for the BC Liberlas and to believe that they will follow through with any of their promise is a fantasy; which only the most gullible will believe and judging by past elections, we know who they are - the affluent BC liberal crony supporters?

@WillemC I have to strongly disagree. The only way to make regionalisation acceptable to all is for the Province to create a totally new organisation under the governance of a largely civilian independent body.

@WillemC Did you know? that 80% of the total RCMP in Canada are in BC. We are paying for the National police force
