Unfortunately Mark, I made one other big mistake: RCMP. With
all of the developments in the past year alone it would be
easier to sell now there¹s been more media focus on RCMP
corruption, officers convicted of murder, etc.
Don¹t get me wrong I have a lot of respect for the RCMP.
When I researched the book I worked directly with the top
canine trainers in the country, as I live near one of the
training centers. And these were the guys who were called in
at Mayerthorpe when four Mounties were gunned down in rural
Alberta. My husband¹s responsibilities with the fire
department have him dealing with the local RCMP on a
semi-regular basis.
Of course, that just contributes to my charming disposition,
because I hear what¹s going on.
The thing is, no organization or country comprised of human
beings is perfect, or noir-exempt. Kerry rightly points to
the Stonechild case is Saskatoon.
The ms isn¹t professionally edited but if you ever want to
read it I¹ll send you a print out.
Cheers, Sandra
