As a Canadian, we are only rude when our hockey season gets threatened by a global pandemic

It’s nice of you as an American respecting and learning about our culture. Thank you

I went through Depot (Regina) in 1974 and the training was (as most of us old guys believe) much tougher. Guys who trained before us also told us it was much tougher as they had to ride horses during their "cadet" days which ended in the 60's. We were all sworn members when we arrived at Depot and were making a whole $7800 a year at that time (in 1974). I took a pay cut to become a member of the Force. Upon graduation there was no overtime pay, you were basically on call 24-7, transfers were as required (sometimes over a long weekend you had to pack up an move) and not often to "fun" places, especially if you were single (which you had to remain for your first 2 years of service). You had to ask for permission to marry as well. Training didn't end after you graduated with a badge; you spent at least 6 months in your new Detachment to complete "recruit field training" partnered with an experienced member who showed you the ropes. Once you passed qualifications of the year's training, you were pretty much out on your own, sometimes in a town that only had 3 or 4 RCMP officers anywhere in the country. I could go on and on, but know that I decided when I was 14 years old that this was the career for me and never regretted making the decision to serve...

This was an entertaining video for me to watch! I am the former wife of a RCMP officer. He was not a Mountie when I married him - so I went through the whole acceptance/training process with him! Tragically, he ended his life on September 11, 2017 after a battle with PTSD. When sept. 11 2001 happened in the US he was called into duty as a member of the tact troop to assist with the NYC attacks. It is not lost on me that he chose sept 11 to end his life as it is a significant date for all first responders. The vast majority of Mounties have a university degree prior to entering the force. I have tons of video of him attending training! He was a great officer who treated everyone with respect. He always said "people are more than the crimes they commit" and "you don't know what someone went through in their life" so he tried not to judge. I would welcome the opportunity to answer some of the questions you had about this video. We try to preserve our Mountie's life and service and to raise awareness regarding PTSD. I recall his first day of training they said "if you want to be a cop you go somewhere else, you come here to be a Mountie"....certainly a sense of pride in Canada. I enjoyed this video as if made me look back and smile ....something we don't do as much of since our loss. Take care. By the way - it's not ponounced "none of it" it's pronounced "new na vut" northern Canada. (haha)

Canada is in the commonwealth therefore they are the royal mounted police and that's why they toast the queen,another good vlog,thanks.

The Yukon, North West Territory’s and Nunavut aren’t provinces, they are territories.

My cousin married a mountie and attending that wedding was so thrilling. Lots of handsome young guys in red serge and being 17 it was pretty exciting. The most beautiful part of the ceremony was when they walked out of the church the officers lined up on either side of the sidewalk and raised sabers to form an arch for the bride and groom to walk through. A wedding I will never forget.

I grew up the daughter of an RCMP officer (now retired after 35 years), it has been the honour of my life! Seeing the Red Serge feels like home to me. I am proud to now work in public service as well.

In UK we learn about them in School. My son who's in British Army is stationed in Canada (in the prairies) at the moment so I met a few when I went over to visit. The two I met in Calgary were right sailty individuals. You could tell messing with them would be a bad day. But unbelievably nice guys. Really professional vibe about them.

The oldest recruit that I can remember was 54 years old. He is still on active duty today.

"Nunavut"... means "our land" in the native language Inuktitut :)

Actually my son is RCMP and it took two years to get in. It was a long process where they looked at you work history, your mental and physical health. You then ride along for six months.

I have 43 years military experience, and I now work with the Mounties as a jail guard. They definitely have a lot of military traditions, as they were originally formed almost as a military force. They are paid better than the military, although many city forces in Canada pay even better. They are very professional though, and even go to other countries for peacekeeping, or training others how to do policing. My Ranger uniform is the same colour, which is based on the old infantry colour of the British, and Canadian armies. I like to tease them about that - same colour, but, much more comfortable than theirs!

"a cow sacrificed it's life for your belt" Man, that is one patriotic Canadian cow..

My daughter just got her badge in January , PROUD PROUD moment...

My nephew was an RCMP. He was proud of serving. He served until his retirement. We were all so proud of him. He died at 60 of heart failure. His funeral was memorable.

My uncle trained to become an RCMP officer in 1950 or 1951. He was french Canadian from Winnipeg and the English cadets would put the French guys through a lot of hazing back then. He passed and went on to become one of the six top ranked officers in all of Canada. He was Supervisor of the Quebec branch of the RCMP. I visited the Regina depot two years ago and saw the Sgt Maj. parade. I was very impressed. The tour guide explained much of what you see in this video adding that the cadet starts off wearing sneakers and sweats and as the cadet progresses they are allowed to wear parts of their uniform, starting with the boots and culminating in the red Serge for their last parade. It's really something to see the pride with which the cadets march for visitors.

I live in a town where our police force is staffed by the RCMP. Some of the nicest officers you’ll ever meet, as long as you’re on the correct side of the law. They mostly police rural areas in the west of Canada as well as the Maritime provinces as well as being our federal police force. ...and yes, the dress uniform has spurs. They are the mounted police, after all.

Nunavut encompasses the traditional lands of the Inuit, the indigenous peoples of Arctic Canada (known as Eskimo in the United States); its name means “Our Land” in Inuktitut, the language of the Inuit.

This is the way we were trained . I did my time in the Canadian Forces Reserves Toronto Scottish Regiment . Thank you .

I'm from Regina.... and we've heard almost every joke possible. Lol

Served for 32 years with the Mounties. Great career. Thanks for making this vid. Great commentary!

In 2018 I got a campervan and drove solo across Canada. I was 54 years old and it took me 5 1/2 months. I visited many of our National Parks and was surprised how many historical RCMP outposts I came across. This Police force was the only 'law and order' in many, many Canadian villages, strategic defense locations, and key border crossings, etc. Often men were posted alone in very basic cabins; tiny bed, chopping wood for heat, living on dry rations, very few comforts. Most seemed to have a head officer with 2 or 3 more junior officers stationed with them. Didn't look comfortable and must have been quite a trial and a huge responsibility. Gained a lot of respect for the RCMP - they truly helped build Canada - long before the rail roads united us.

When the original North-West Mounted Police was formed, the red of the British Redcoat was chosen deliberately to show to friend and foe alike just who these guys were. This was important when the blue-coated U.S. Army was just across the border.

It's surprising the number of people that don't realize that Canada has a Queen. She's on our stamps and money. Her picture hangs in Court Houses. Also the Hugo Boss type pants and spurs worn by the Mounties hark back to the "Mounted" part of their name. They act as a federal police force across Canada and some (but not all) provinces have them for provincial police. Also communities too small to train and maintain a local police force, contract to have the R.C.M.P. to maintain a small detachment in their community. If you go to Banff, in the Canadian Rockies, in tourist season, you will often find a RCMP constable walking the beat in their Red Serge: usually surrounded by selfie hounds.

Sweet video brother. I’m Canadian and have 3 Mounties in my family. You guys are the greatest neighbours

Yes, it's Real, Nunavit is a territory. It's an Inuit name. A lot of Mounties are required to server in these remote areas. They get a lot of extra pay for doing so. :)

The ROYAL comes from the fact that the Queen of England is also the Queen of Canada.

The video, quite understandably, skipped one facet of the RCMP firearms training. The Mounties are trained to truly consider their guns as an instrument of last resort to protect members of the public or themselves. If all other measures have failed or cannot be used, then they will draw their sidearm for only one reason: to shoot to kill. They are well trained in the use of their weapons so it is a very bad idea to corner a Mountie and leave them with only one option. The Mounties also have their own version of a SWAT team but I don’t remember what they call it. It would make for an interesting video. I really enjoyed this one. A very fine job!!

Coldest Place: -63 °C (-81.4 °F) at Snag, Yukon, Canada on February 3, 1947. Hottest Spot: 45 °C (113 °F) in Midale and Yellow Grass, Saskatchewan, Canada on July 5, 1937. Canadian RCMP, Military train in extreme conditions. They're tough, but nice they'll shoot first and then say "sorry". lol

I am from Sahtu Territory within the Northwest Territories. They’re called the territories because we own our lands and are separated into three territories. T’licho - south Sahtu - mid Inivialuit - north 90% of Canadians have no clue about this. We are autonomous.

Canadians aren't mean, we get insanely fierce when we need to. My cousin in-law just graduated and joined the RCMP last year, you've done all his hard work justice CAC!

Great vid. A lot of former British Colonies keep the traditions of their founding units.

As a retired RCMP officer, thank you for showing the training we go through. I taught at Depot, the Training Academy, serving members can apply to go back for 3-4 years as an instructor so the cadets get a national perspective. The Royal, in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police is a designation by the Queen, as we are part of the Commonwealth. We are the national police force for Canada, and we transfer across the country throughout our career.

Thank you for the Canada reactions 🍁 I enjoy your perspective coming from that background. Love your passion for it; keep it up!! You've got some childish innocence to you, too, so keep smiling 😃 "I don't think it was the cow's decision" lmfao

We are nice in Canada with any statement there’s usually a but. Yes it’s cold up here in winter and some of us get cranky 😂 🇨🇦

They were first the North West Mounted Police back in the 1870s. Then they became the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

You should make a video on the RCMP Emergency Response Team (ERT). Canada’s version of SWAT

A bit of a history lesson for our American host. The RCMP of today was actually founded in 1873, ten years after Canadian confederation, by the Canadian Government. The force was called the Northwest Mounted Police, they were dispatched to the prairie provinces during the March west and established Fort Whoop Up and Forth McLeod in southern Alberta. They were to establish relationships with local native tribes, put a stop to the American whiskey trade and provide law and order for pending settlement of the west. Ironically, Sitting Bull and other members of the Lakota Nation sought refuge and protection from the mounties in Canada after their battle with Custer at the Little Big Horn. They stayed in Canada until the US government allowed them to return. Members of the Nez Peirce tribe from Eastern Washington and Oregon also fled to Canada after they too did battle with the US Calvary. The mounties were later sent north to the Yukon at the start of the Klondike gold rush in 1898. Primarily, to again establish law and order but also to prevent the annexation of the Yukon gold fields to the United States. Inspector Sam Steele, who was in charge of the Mounties in the Yukon, gained great notoriety during this period and was attributed with saving many potential prospectors lives by denying them entry into Canada unless the had at least a tonne of supplies with them to endure the harsh country. The Northwest Mounted Police later became the Royal Northwest Mounted Police and then finally the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. The policing services the Mounties provide to Canadians, depending on where you are in Canada, is the American equivalent of your local Sheriff, Municipal Police force, State Police, FBI and/or DEA. To say the Mounties wear many different hats is an understatement. I served with the RCMP for over 25 years. My wife was from the United States and whenever we visited your country and our American friends or family heard I was a mountie, well, let's say I never had to buy the drinks.

I'm a retired police officer here in the Philippines, and I would say that it's an honor for me that I have a son who follows my footsteps, who is now a member of the RCMP. Proud of what he achieved 👏

As a Canadian citizen I want only the highest standard for those who represent the RCMP. Only the elites should serve on such a prestigious position. Thank you for this video, it provides a perspective of Canadians that is needed.

Canada, like Australia and New Zealand and the UK is a Commonwealth Realm. We share the same Queen.

I used to watch the trails for the entry to the program. They held them at the university. Those were brutal and the candidates earned all the onlookers respect.

i watched a tactical squad operate in my old neighbourhood doing a drug bust... it was intense... do a piece on CSIS next!... my buddy went through years of approval

Back in the 1990's I trained Emergency Response Team Mounties in advanced tactical rope work. They reached a such a high level of proficiency they could snatch a life size baby/doll out of a hostage takers hands on rappel.

I am currently in the lengthy application process for the RCMP! Requirements: at least 19, Canadian citizen\permanent resident, first aid & CPR certified, no criminal charges etc. (Basic stuff). I'm in prep to take my written exam next week, and if I pass, there are about 90000 more hoops to jump through to get accepted. Here's hoping!! Also, at like 15:30 or something, he said "pits", not piss haha. It's their quarters/where they keep their belongings.

I grew up in Ottawa which is the capital of Canada so I've seen many Mounties in my life but never knew all the details of their training. As a kid we used to go to the parliament buildings on Canada Day and watch them do a special ceremony called "The Musical Ride" which is a beautiful showcase of their marching drill as well as drills on horseback. Thanks for the video! It was super informative and I also loved your comments.

They are called “Royal Canadian........” Because Canada is a British commonwealth country and recognizes the Queen of England as the head of state.

The R.C.M.P. were formed as a Mounted Police Force to bring the law to the Western Provences . Fort Gary (now Calgary), Alberta, was the main post. They were formed under a Royal Charter back when Canada was formed. They had to ride horse back to get to the first posting from the Lake-head.

Queen Elizabeth II is officially still the monarch of Canada. This is why they are the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and why the Canadian military use Royal in the name of their regiments and ships.

I've grown up in this organization and am now a dispatcher for them. One of my proudest moments was watching my best friend graduate from Depot. I'm very proud of him and all of the members that I have the pleasure to work with. The Mounties are a Canadian institution steeped in history and pride of service.

I am a retired RCMP and appreciated your video. Depot always holds a special place for me and my wife, also a retired member.

the history is behind the royal aspect is in 1904 the northwest mounted police as it known as then was given a royal prefix by king Edward VII and in 2012 Queen Elizabeth II was promoted from honorary commissioner in chief to commissioner in chief and for 24 hrs the rcmp mounted the queens life guard and guarded horse guards parade being the only non military unit to guard the queen so that is where the royal aspect comes in

Everythings royal in Canada even the Royal Botanical Gardens

The saying: "the mounties always get their man" comes from their willingness to do whatever it takes to catch criminals. About 40 years ago they pioneered a unique sting operation known as a "kingpin sting" in which they lure wanted criminals into a situation where they're offered the opportunity to be involved with what they're led to believe is a criminal organization, all they have to do is provide their bonafides in terms of talking about crimes they've committed in the past. Using this system they've caught people who spent 40+ years on the run, and they've been able to secure convictions that put people away forever using all the evidence gathered against them in the stings.

1873 -North West Mounted Police. 1905 -Royal North West Mounted Police. 1920 -Royal Canadian Mounted Police. They are considered a para-military force and have served in WW1, WW2, and on peace keeping missions. Equitation used to be mandatory until it was cancelled in 1965. The RCMP still perform equitation demonstrations referred to as "The Musical Ride". The dress uniform consists of a scarlet tunic, navy pegged breeches, brown Strathcona boots, a tan, flat brimmed Stetson, brown gauntlets or gloves, and brown gunbelt. The trouser stripe was originally white but was changed to "cavalry" yellow. Their foot drill is referred to as dismounted cavalry drill. Training is 6 months in Regina, the flattest place on earth. The joke is that you can see your dog running away for three days. A 25 hour day is referred to as a "sleep" so, 4 days would be 4 sleeps. They have a service dog training facility in Innisfail, Alberta. Their motto is not "we always get our man" and is, in fact, Maintiens Le Droit or Maintain the Right. Besides Tribal Police, the RCMP are the only non-indigenous force in Canada that can enforce the law on a Native reservation unless specified otherwise.

@Combat Arms Channel: My mom was RCMP back in the '70s. It looks to me like the training has gotten a bit 'soft' by comparison. Unless I'm mistaken (there have been changes to the uniform since then), commissioned officers have navy blue cuffs on their red tunics, while enlisted members do not. The red serge is only a dress uniform similar to the USMC evening dress. The deep navy blue uniform is the equivalent of the tan class A? USMC uniform. Detectives wear suits just like the FBI. Rock on, Marine! Love from British Columbia, Canada.

The Queens Grandfather I’m pretty sure bestowed the Royal title on them for their diligence to the Empire.

They're Royal because the Queen of the United Kingdom is also the Queen of Canada, Australia, New Zealand and a bunch of other small island nations mostly in the Caribbean.

The big fuzzy wool hat is not worn very often in the west by the way, must be an eastern thing, in the western half of Canada they typically wear a black or dark blue toque (skull cap).

This kind of similar to French gendarmarie training. It makes sense since both are police from army regiments their training is like that.

Was actually interesting, good option to all military videos even though there are a lot of military to react to.

As a retired RCMP Member I can tell you the training is extensive, exhausting both physically and mentally. Esprit de Corps is very important as is tradition. When you are an Icon and recognized around the world, you have a lot to live up to. i have worn my uniform several times for ceremonial purposes and it is interesting to see the reaction. I stood in the lobby of the Gaylord in Grapevine Texas for an hour or two one time and seeing the kids response was amazing. They came right up and asked if I was a real Mountie.

The RCMP precursor was the Northwest Mounted Police. They brought law to the western provinces in the late 1800's. Famously after the battle of Little Big Horn Sitting Bull led his people to Canada and was met peacefully by two mounties. Sitting Bull had respect for the great white mother

The oldest graduate as of 2015 when I visited was 40. Regina is latin for queen, it was originally called “Wascana”, Cree for “Pile of Bones”. The territories of Canada are Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut. The provinces of Canada are British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, Newfoundland and Labrador, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia. As someone who lives in the city where they’re trained, cadets go in with strong wills, and Mounties leave with strong minds and bodies. Try beating them in a crossfit workout, it’s extremely rare that someone is in better shape, even the local police.

Hey my American friend! Thank you for your interest in us Canadians! You are right, they are good! I am a very proud Canadian! We are a quiet, friendly ally, always ready for our friends! Come on up and enjoy the beauty of our country, YOU seem awesome!!!

This is awesome, I was US Army Combat Medic and a flight medic now, I love seeing this kinda stuff!!! Great video bro!!! I especially like trying to take down a larger suspect, that great training!!!

Description of Bailey the Canadian police dog : "We're really lucky to work with Bailey, Bailey is very friendly and very nice to work around" (when it's not attacking you or anything) Typical description of Canadians! I love your videos man! and yeah, wearing spurs and the funny pants,etc. The whole mounted thingy, you know? but it's mainly ceremonial, lol

As a Canadian myself I can say that we are probably a little bit nicer than in the states but it’s probably close it’s probably more alike here and in the states than you think

Regina means Queen. And was named in honour of Queen Victoria

I think it was 1905, after the second Boar War, The RCMP (Was actually Royal Northwest Mounted Police, prior to the King designated their Royal designation). The Boars were excellent fighters on horseback, the British Army was getting their ass' kicked by them. They then brought in the Canadian Mounties who at that time were excellent horseman and shooters from mounted. The British won the second war with the Boars and afterwards designated the Mounted |Police as a military Force ontop of being Police Officers. I wrote this from memory so I hope I didn't get it too wrong. In 1966 they discontinued the regular horsemanship training as it was no longer feasible or practical. The combined training was 1 year long reduced to 6 months after discontinuing the horsemanship. I'm a retired RCMP officer with over 30 years of training and a gift of PTSD. I'm now 68 years old and joined in 1976. It was the hardest thing I ever did and would not do it again if I new what I was getting into.

As a little known fact our CSIS (Canadian Security Intelligence Service), was born out of the RCMP. I think they are a hybrid of your CIA and FBI because they work both within Canada and on foreign soil. My brother-in-law was in the very first batch of CSIS operatives, as an undercover narcotics/HA biker gang member for 30+ years and today still no one has any idea he was ever either a police officer or undercover CSIS operative. He was recruited because of his exceptional marksmanship which was developed by the RCMP. He used to say the training he received there for firearms was the best he'd received anywhere. Apparently they have some unusual drills and exercises that require proficiency under duress. He retired a decade ago and has passed away so I'm not putting him in any danger. I just thought I would share those little tidbits with you. I just discovered your channel and honestly I find you very compelling as a host/reviewer. Humble, genuine, patriotic and knowledgeable. The US is lucky to have you. Please stay safe.

RCMP has such an amazing history. They've fought in several wars as well, including in Italy during WW2.

“Regina” means the reigning Queen essentially. I don’t get the whole “unfortunate” name thing. It’s Latin. But then, I come from a place that has a town named Dildo, so I think I’m immune to weird names for cities and towns, lol

My Sister is in that vidoe! Super proud of her!

The RCMP is "Royal" because they inherited their Royal patronage from the Royal North-West Mounted Police, one of their two predecessor agencies (along with the Dominion Police). The RNWMP in turn was granted Royal patronage by King Edward VII in 1904 in honour of their service in Africa during the Second Boer War.

Canada is a commonwealth realm country which means Queen Elizabeth is the Queen of Canada as well as the UK and other realms so thats why they have the word royal in the police name and also most Canadian army regiments start with the word royal such as the Royal Canadian Regiment and Royal Highland Fusiliers of Canada.

“Did he say Nunavut? Is that real” lol

1876 One year after the fall of General Custer at Little Bighorn Sitting Bull and his Sioux followers headed north to Canada. One Canadian from the North-West Mounted Police went among these 5,000 to discuss peace in Canada. Inspector James Morrow Walsh sat down with Sitting Bull and they got along. The Canadian government distrusted the agreement and wanted the Sioux to leave. This chore to ask them to leave fell on Inspector Walsh. The Sioux eventually returned peacefully to the USA. The North-West Mounted Police (NWMP) were the precursor to the RCMP. The NWMP were also known as the RNWMP, the Royal North-West Mounted Police. The red surge uniforms are for dress only. The flat brimmed hats are almost never worn. Function overcomes fashion. Spurs are for dress only and not part of the daily uniform.

Thanks for covering the Mounties. Nice to get someone else's view on our training. Wish I could answer your questions for you.

His reaction to Nunavut "is that real?" Hahaha

The RCMP also has tactical units that do man hunts and sniper units and the usual swat stuff.

Mountie here! Depot was the greatest experience in my life. Now that I am in the field, I miss it.

My cousin is now retired, but she served in the RCMP for most of her life. She was stationed all around Canada, and even around the world. She was also an instructor at depot. She only EVER had to pull her pistol once, and it was for a warning shot. There is a HUGE difference between an RCMP officer and a city cop. Tbh, City cops tend to be pretty horrible, most never should’ve gone into law enforcement to begin with, and many are people who flunked entry into the RC’s. This isn’t to say that there isn’t issues within the RCMP, but it tends to be less than in city detachments.

You should watch a video on the The Mounties Musical Ride. It’s a wonderful part of The Mounties history.

If nobody has done it the Hitory of the RCMP goes back to 1873. Started as the Northwest Mounted Police then got the Royal designation in 1904 after the Bore War. Then the RNWMP merged with the Dominion Police to become the RCMP in 1920.

I come from over 2 generations of RCMP. My Grandfather, Father, Step Father, 2 great cousins & Uncles all in The RCMP. Very Proud to be a part of this heritage. The RCMP is a Paramilitary organization, and is essentially the (American Equivelant) -The FBI and Local Police combined. On a Personal note, I grew up around RCMP officers... Those guys partied pretty hard. I remember some pretty crazy parties with the cops! Including some "Lawn Darts" incidents. Geez.

My family history is steeped in the RCMP. My Dad was a police dog handler (called dogmasters at the time) for 16 years .He and his dog even survived a plane crash together deep in the woods, a four seater with both engines on fire. They hit the tops of the trees, threw the dog and themselves out and everyone and the dog survived with only one person breaking a leg. In leass than one year, in 1969 he found 85 people: lost people, escaped people, criminals. One time he found a lost 4 year old who died in his arms as he was running to try to save the boy who had been missing for days. Sadly he succumbed to all his blackfly bites. To avoid a similar fate, my dad had to bury himself and his dog in sand by a lake until a helicopter could get to the remote area to pick him up. He eventually trained police dogs and police dog handlers for a number of uears. It was his calling and we were thrilled, because the dogs stayed with us and they were amazing. As was my (is) my Dad. Great video, thanks.

It was Nunavut not none of it. Large northern territory sparsely populated but rich in resources and friendly people.

So in Canada it goes , City police , provincial police as in Ontario it would be the "o.p.p " Then it's RCMP and they have full coverage of Canada and territories. Then military if the RCs can't deal with it. But marshall law has only been implemented once. So it's RCMP that mainly controls Canada.

Something not touched upon in this video : the RCMP has effectively 2 levels, functioning in both the Federal law enforcement role same as the FBI, DEA, ATF etc, as well as municipal policing in locations not already possessing their own police force (typically small towns and rural areas, with a few urban areas as well).

Elizabeth II, is Queen of Canada which is a Constitutional Monarchy as a form of Government like the UK. There are a lot of "Royal" in Canada including the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and the Royal Canadian Navy. Standards are high in both, and in others.

Thanks for letting me see some of my own Canadiana. The city Regina where the training depot is located is Latin for Queen. The city was named for Queen Victoria. The huge territory called "Nunavut (noon-a-voot) is an Inuit term referring to "the land." The training is rigorous. I personally worked the many RCMP members over the years and found almost all to be diligent and honourable. Unfortunately humans can fail and we have seen too much of this in the news. Less frequently per capita in Canada (we are one ninth the pop. of the US.) Perhaps because the training is national with a rigorous selection process? Bb

Feeling all warm and fuzzy with Canadian pride.

The "Royal" part is due to our connection to the crown in England. We also have royal airforce and navy etc.

A lot of people didn't notice but take a gander at who led the Queens funeral. Canada was the most visited country than any other in the world. She came to see us I believe it was 23 times. Canada has a strong link to Britain. We may be really nice but, like anyone else, we have our limits. I think it's really cool that you're interested in our culture whether it be military or police. And our secret reserves of maple syrup lol. 👍🇨🇦👍

RCMP = Royal Canadian Mounted Police. The requirements: Be a Canadian citizen or have permanent resident status in Canada. Individuals with permanent resident status must have resided (been physically present) in Canada for 3 (1,095 days) out of the last 5 years as a permanent resident. Be at least 18 years of age to apply Be proficient in English and/or French Possess a valid, unrestricted driver's licence Possess a Canadian secondary school (high school) diploma or equivalent Meet the health and psychological standards Meet the vision standards Meet the hearing standards Meet the necessary level of physical abilities Be prepared and able to carry a firearm and to use it or any other necessary physical force Be willing to spend 26 weeks at the RCMP's training academy (Depot) in Regina, Saskatchewan Be willing to relocate anywhere within Canada Be willing to work shift work including weekends and holidays Be aware of requirements for tattoos, jewelry and other personal effects Lastly, police officers must conform to certain standards. At several stages during the recruiting process, you will be made aware of the behavior standards which will be expected of you throughout the application process and your career as a police officer of the RCMP. Physical: 2.43 kilometre run (1.5 miles) in 10:45 minutes (men) and 12:00 minutes (women); 4.86 kilometre run (3.0 miles) in 22:00 minutes (men) and 24:00 minutes (women); 8.1 kilometre run (5.0 miles) in 40:00 to 45:00 minutes; 25 pushups minimum; and.

Station 2 - Push/Pull This simulates having to physically solve a problem or occurrence. Station 3 - Weight Carry This simulates having to remove an object or a person from the scene

The polygraphs are inaccurate and non admissible to court. Why the RCMP uses them I will never know....

Canada's official Head of State is Queen Elizabeth II (aka the Queen of England). Even though it's largely a ceremonial role now (even for her Representative in the Government of Canada, known as the Governor General of Canada), the country is nonetheless a parliamentary constitutional monarchy. This is where the 'Royal' part of the RCMP name comes from. It also means that when you are charged with a federal crime, for instance, you are being charged by 'the Crown' and the prosecution team will officially be 'representing the Crown' in such legal cases. And yes, Nunavut is a real 'territory' in Canada. Although I believe that first 'u' in the name is supposed to be pronounced a bit more like 'oo' than 'uh' (at least, according to Wikipedia's pronunciation info and audio) - so it would sound more like 'noo-ni-vut', rather than 'none-of-it' lol. And it is the native Inuktitut language's word meaning "our land".

Thank you from a proud Canadian. My brother in law is a retired Mountie
