The politicization of the RCMP continues. This time the force is being used to harass opposition MPs, just days before an election:

Federal Immigration Minister Joe Volpe has asked the RCMP and Federal Ethics Commissioner to investigate two Conservative MPs, CTV News has learned. CTV Ottawa bureau chief Robert Fife reports that Volpe is alleging the two MPs offered to help immigrants in return for money... Fife reports that the Liberals leaked the information to CTV, even though most ministerial referrals to the RCMP are kept confidential.
