Canada has a pretty good investigative journalist named Paul Palango, left,
who has worked for the top institutions of the mainstream media. In his 2008 book Dispelling the Fog, about the RCMP, he wrote:
"A police force acting like a cult is not a new idea. Police live in a world of 'them against us' where it is easy to become isolated from the rest of society. They eat, drink and, all too often, sleep with each other. ... Because of [the unhealthy bond police officers often have with each other], police forces are havens for secret societies like the Masons Order--the mafia of the mediocre, as it has been dubbed. One can't get ahead, even today, in the Calgary Police Force without being a Mason, police insiders say. The Masons are also prominent in the RCMP..." (p. 248).
