It's interesting. With the example I was drawing from when I said we should look at speaking indictments, when that happened in the United States, you should read how the U.S. treated it. They caught the guy before he was able to commit the assassination. They deployed a sophisticated undercover apparatus. The charging document is beautiful.
I went to law school at Columbia, so I know a bit about the U.S. legal system. This individual's chances of successfully defending that prosecution are about 0%.
Look at the way it worked in the U.S. They interdicted it before it happened. Look at the way it happened here. Someone lost their life, and now there's an investigation.
When I'm thinking about the best way to answer your question, I would start to think about the resources of the RCMP and whether or not that institution as it's currently constructed is fit for service, because the 21st century is very different from the 20th. What does a modern police force that has to deal with everything from sophisticated foreign interference operations to cyber-attacks and on and on look like?
