Reply to comment by MeInMyOwnWords in Canadian federal police are investigating widespread interference by China in Canadian affairs, including its "democratic processes," the nation's top cop has said in a letter to a parliamentary committee but without detailing the allegations by DoremusJessup

Bruh.

You: "The RCMP is the police agency that investigates serious crime."

Me: "Provincial police forces investigate all crime, serious or not, except for where the RCMP is the only police agency to start with. They also investigate two very specific crimes: organized and financial.

Idk how else to explain it to you. Practically all crimes in Canada, serious or not, are defined by the Criminal Code. Provinces have exclusive jurisdiction over the Criminal Code. That's all there is to it.

If parliament makes something a crime outside the criminal code, then enforcement is federal jurisdiction. But that's only happened with organized crime and money laundering. All other crimes, serious or not, are provincial responsibility.

Again, to reiterate, since you have trouble reading: the RCMP is not tasked with enforcing "serious" crime.

Lol good for you, I'm out. You can believe the RCMP enforces "serious crime" if you want. You'd be an idiot that believes the wrong thing and doesn't even understand the basics of our constitution, but hey. You do you.

You're too much of a narcissist to admit you're wrong, and this feels like talking to a brick wall. Even in the face of evidence that you found yourself proving you wrong, you still refuse to get your head out of your ass. So adios, have a good day.

Edit: And all this because I left a friendly comment explaining our constitution divides policing powers differently than the US constitution, and that the RCMP thus fulfils a different role than the FBI.
