I was looking for this. I find it deeply disturbing that Canadians don’t really care about this. I knew both of these people in my late teens and it couldn’t have been clearer that they were mentally unstable. They couldn’t conspire to do much at all, let alone the sophisticated things they were accused of. The work that would have gone into framing them is so difficult to overstate. They would have undermined the RCMP at every turn, either through incompetence or lack of interest in the big plan. Not through any fault of their own. Korody was nicknamed “potato” as a teen because she was about as intelligent as one. Which is awful, don’t get me wrong. I have a lot of sympathy for these two. This case made me extremely apprehensive about the RCMP, in any case. The recent Fairy Creek debacle on Vancouver Island wasn’t as bad, but clearly exposed the rotten underbelly of the organization once again. It’s rough because most Canadians will assume you’re some kind of conspiracy theorist or shit disturber if you hold these opinions. Our police and military possess a strange kind of innocence in our national narrative that the US counterparts don’t appear to have.

  >Our police and military possess a strange kind of innocence in our national narrative that the US counterparts don’t appear to have. I think the USians you run into on the internet are a more well read and skeptical bunch than average. Most Americans I know in person aren’t even aware of past actions of the FBI that even the current FBI denounces, such as their abhorrent treatment of Martin Luther King Jr.
