The day after the election I watched the documentary released a week before it by those eager to oust the now previous regime for their own step-and-fetch-its (for the same-named Seattle documentary released three years ago, click here). Had I the choice of watching it or a documentary on how municipalities are handcuffed by provincial and federal governments, not to mention Supreme Court rulings, I would have watched the latter. But since no such documentary exists, there's always the hope one will. A good place to begin such a documentary would be the ongoing saga of Surrey, whose incoming mayor was elected for promising to abandon -- midstream -- the establishment of its own municipal force and return to a federal constabulary (RCMP) that takes its orders not from local citizens, but from Ottawa.
