Stephen Harper Can Sure Pick 'em. Another Embarrassment as RCMP Boss Bombs

So two of Harper's choices to head up important agencies have turned out to be duds. And true to form, Stephen Harper is not talking.
The Prime Minister’s Office did not respond to the Star’s request for comment Monday. The RCMP told the CBC that a workplace assessment is being commissioned. The protest against Elliott, who became the first civilian to head the Mounties in July 2007, comes a month after controversial comments made by Canada’s top spy, CSIS director Richard Fadden.

Fadden said the Canadian Security intelligence Service had two provincial cabinet ministers and a number of municipal politicians under surveillance for their relationships with foreign governments. Both Elliott and Fadden were appointed by Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

But Vic Toews is deeply troubled. He should be.
