Ever wonder what might happen if the RCMP/GRC decided to go rogue and take over. The Australian Law Enforcement Salus Journal has published my article on just that contingency:

View of Military against Gendarmerie: Contingency Planning for a Police-led Coup d’état to Control or Overthrow a Democratically elected Government in Canada (salusjournal.com)

Of course the Canadian Armed Forces would be well up to the task of suppressing and ending a police-led coup d’état, so long as they decided not to join in.

Only in Russia, you say ....
