"The Royal Canadian Mounted Police admitted Wednesday that the phalanx of officers assigned as the Prime Minister's bodyguards overstepped their bounds to enforce Harper's closed-to-the-public re-election bid,” the Star reported yesterday. "Their transgressions include blocking and ejecting those whose only crime is to seek out the Tory chief's election message without advance notice or sufficient party glee."
