Episode Details

Retired RCMP officer, Clinton Jaws, shares his distressing experience of being deceived into participating in a CBC prank show, Northland Tales. The show, which uses satire for social action, allegedly targeted former officers, presenting them as symbols for a prank that humiliated them and tarnished their reputation. Jaws, a veteran of nearly forty years with the RCMP, was invited under false pretenses, leading to a deeply humiliating experience. The episode, which was meant to be a documentary about post-retirement life for police, turned into a satirical event that framed the RCMP as responsible for the plight of Indigenous people. The CBC has since paused the program amidst criticism and concerns about taxpayer money being used for activism disguised as comedy.
