Can you imagine what a pickle Glaude will be in if he releases his report with findings that Pelletier, Murray MacDonald and Griffiths were a little overworked, and little understaffed and a whole lot shy on knowledge of the horrific impact of sexual abuse on male victims of same sex sexual abuse, and then imagine that within weeks or months the RCMP announces that one, two or all three are charged with obstruction of justice? That would be a lot of mud for a judicial face to wear.

So, I am watching with great interest to see if the RCMP investigation happens to wrap up weeks before the Glaude report is released for public consumption. In other words, will the investigation wrap up in time to take the pressure off the commissioner before he commits his findings to the public?

We shall have to wait and see. What else can we do?

I hope the “O” Division of the RCMP gets it right, but I wouldn’t hold my breath as I went to the CFSEU Div. of the RCMP about the lies and cover-up being done by the Hamilton Police Services. End result O as I never heard back and I still have the Police in front of the IPC and remember that the Asst. Privacy Commish Brian Beamish got involved in my case and issued out a “Notice of Inquiry” to the Police Chief, Superintendants and detectives involved in my case ordering them to have Affidavits filled out and signed “Attesting as to their QUALIFICATIONS as Police officers and also as to their KNOWLEDGE of child abuse” and get it into his office. Everybody knows what a butcher job those cops did but it would appear like I’ve said many times that cops just don’t want to either investigate or charge other cops. And hey, we can’t forget what a swell job the RCMP did in their lying about the tasering death of that Polish man in B.C. I wouldn’t trust those clown nor any other cops as far as I could throw them. Even after the “movie” of the tasering, the cops still continued to lie or shall we say not tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth about how they killed that man as some have said they did. Good luck but don’t hold your breath, sorry for the pessimism but after watching how cops handled my case and also some of the issues up there, I would allege that they might well do the job by grabbing a broom, lifting up the carpet and sweeping it all under the rug

I am intrigued to see that the Cornwall Police Chief draws the same salary as that of the Ottawa Chief. (Ottawa has a population close to one million). That Cornwall’s Justice McPhee earned as much as Glaude. That Derochie earned $120,000 sitting in the Weave Shed. That Perry would undoubtedly be earning in the range of $100,000 or more if he hadn’t been drawn and quartered by his own for blowing the whistle. And that heading up Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada is financially lucrative.

That’s up by about 33 per cent from the annual salary he earned in 2004, the last full year he was a judge in Ontario BEFORE he was named commissioner of the inquiry. In that year, the regional senior justice for northern Ontario earned a comparably paltry $205,782.94.

No wonder that thing went on as long as it did. Wouldn’t you want to continue for as long as possible in a job where your salary was jumping about eight per cent every single year?

Nurses and teachers have to fight tooth and nail to get the province to agree to annual wage increases in the one to two per cent range, not even enough to keep up with inflation.

Not that I don’t believe people should be paid well for work they do well. I just wonder sometimes about the amount we, as taxpayers, are on the hook for.
