Police Admit Planting Officers at Protest

Opposition parties are calling on the RCMP to review how it handled security at the recent Montebello Summit in Quebec where George W Bush, Canada's Prime Minister Stephen Harper and President Calderon of Mexico all met in secret.

A video of the demonstration broadcast on YouTube and which I previously posted shows three men with bandanas across their faces and large rocks in their hands taunting union members before being handcuffed and escorted away by police in riot gear.

A statement by the Quebec police force said of the undercover officers "their mandate was to seek out and identify non-peaceful demonstrators to avoid having things boil over. At no point did the Quebec police officers act as agents , provocateurs or criminals."

It is quite evident that they did want to incite violence. What else would explain why they had rocks in their hands? The whole situation was just disgraceful. And it wouldn't be a first time that undercover thugs like the ones at the Quebec summit are sent in to incite violence among protestors. I'm just glad that the situation at the Quebec summit was caught on tape.

Marlene Jennings, the federal Liberal justice critic said that the RCMP has some explaining to do.
