Canadians... (Especially the Maritime-based ones...) Has there been any speculation why Nova Scotia and Ottawa are loath to do a public inquiry?

I haven't seen any reason for the neutered review. I'm sure some argument is out there.

Responses:

(McNeil is also a bit of a one-man show) -- nm - Reagen Jul 28, 10:49
the dark speculation is that there's some dirty shit with the RCMP that's being covered up. -- nm - Reagen Jul 28, 10:46 14
- That's literally the only theory I can come up with. If I was the next CPC leader, this would be my #1 Maritime policy announcement. - Name Withheld By Request Jul 28, 10:55 12
  - Also, I think this hangs on the provincial party, and McNeil specifically - Reagen Jul 28, 11:02 9
    - Perhaps, but considering how important Atlantic Canada is to Ottawa, WE or no WE, the PMO isn't going to fuck around with those seats. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jul 28, 11:04 8
      - a couple MLAs broke ranks today - with a majority of 1 it's not impossible it leads to an election here - Reagen Jul 28, 11:11 7
        
        I have a buddy here whose aunt was one of the victims. This is his #1 federal voting issue at the moment. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jul 28, 11:12 6
        
        Actually just saw on Twitter that Minister Furey has said the province would do an inquiry if Ottawa comes around. Fully on Trudeau's shoulders now. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jul 28, 11:13 4
        
        Local sentiment still feels like it's on McNeil, whatever the truth of it is. -- nm - Reagen Jul 28, 11:24 3
        
        He's former RCMP, right? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jul 28, 11:27 2
        
        no, he was an appliance repairman. -- nm - Reagen Jul 28, 11:30 1
        
        Maytag man? (I looked it up. It's Furey who is ex-Mountie.) -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jul 28, 11:38
        
        same for all my relatives in NS -- nm - Beaker Jul 28, 11:13
  - a "denturist drug smuggler/gun runner with body disposal chemicals" would be rejected by Fargo as outlandish. -- nm - Reagen Jul 28, 10:59 1
    - Who, as per some MacLeans reporting, may have been a paid informant. (They've stood by their speculation/reporting.) -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jul 28, 11:03
- My off the cuff theory is that there is overlap with Five Eyes that can't be revealed. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 28, 10:51
