From the beginning of the Robert Dziekanski "death by RCMP Taser" incident I discovered the news aggregation blog - RCMPWatch - that was dedicated to reports about RCMP actions - good and bad - but mostly bad.

It revealed the extent of questionable RCMP activities right across the country - in almost every province - and from almost every credible news source. It became one of my regular RSS feeds on Google Reader (itself disbanded at about the same time).
Then in June 2013 - it just disappeared. No announcement or warning - nothing. It's domain name just stopped working and has not been reinstated. This is odd. On conducting some Google Searches I discovered the secretive nature of its role. No-one was ever clearly identified with the site. Some speculated that it was actually an RCMP "Honeypot" operation - but to my knowledge that was never proven. Regardless it did provide a useful site to review most of the crazy activity of the RCMP - with comments adding insight and observation.
