$3.20
In this chapter, Marquis examines the RCMP’s domestic intelligence gathering during the Cold War era. He explores how senior Mounties and federal politicians prioritized ideological monitoring over law enforcement procedures, targeting marginalized groups, Quebec sovereigntists, activists, and those the Mounties labelled as "communist." He also discusses how the public and parliamentary inquiries pushed for civilian oversight.
