In this chapter, Marquis discusses how RCMP operations clash with contemporary expectations of accountability and transparency from police. He highlights ongoing systemic biases against Indigenous groups and activists and the force’s record of misogyny targetting RCMP officers, and notes the many urgent calls for public oversight and radical change in the role of the force in contemporary Canadian life.
