Slight correction, eon… Canada was established by the British North America Act in 1867; the Northwest Mounted Police (which evolved into the RCMP) was commissioned in 1873.
Firearms licensing for handguns began in the 1930s and while the RCMP enforces the law and administers the licensing, it is the government who drafts and enacts the legislation.

Thanks Wayne. A Canadian friend has always told me that the police weren’t armed when she was a girl. We’re both in our late 60’s now.

That was the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary, a provincial police service modeled after the Royal Irish Constabulary.
The first Constables were hired in 1729, making the RNC the oldest police service in North America… and, to this day, they keep their firearms locked in their vehicles most of the time.
Chilling that this smarmy college twerp and the braindead geriatric patient in DC are genuinely and openly threatening military action against their own citizens.
Interesting that the Canadian military declined the invitation to play with the Truckers. Something about having to stay home and polish their boots. There are only 8 or 10 Mounties, so any game will be only with the local and Provincial police. That could get very interesting. I’d hope that they are smart enough to stay away while fighting litter and J-walking.
No they’re actualky not. NYPD is around 36,000 officers, while the Canadian Armed forces is 67,000 active personnel, and another 36,000 in the reserves.
The NYPD could probably call up the majority of their Officers for action, The Canadian Army is a LOT less than 67,000 once you subtract the Airforce, Navy, and the 10,000 in NDHQ and other Headquarters. We have more than enough generals to go around though, last I checked it was one for evey 300 ‘non-generals’ from Col to Pte. There are more than 300 people in a full strength battalion (which we don’t have any of) for a Lt-Col to run, let alone a Brigade for a Brigadier.
That’s because the NYPD does not fight fair. Just the punch line: A bear come stumbling out of the woods all bloody and bandaged “OK, ok I’m rabbit. I’m a RABBIT!”
Had to search to find that video…absolutely disgusting! Found it on Rumble, most other streaming sites didn’t come up in search results, they’ve gone full fascist apparently. But hey, nothing to see here now back to you regularly scheduled stupid distraction videos on TikTok brought to you by the Chinese Communist Party!
Which reminds me why I detest “automatic” devices. They always do what they want to, leaving me to clean up the mess and stop the bleeding. “Carl” is getting a touch too “creative”.
Apparently, US police are operating on Canadian soil with the blessing of this ‘government’ because the local forces seem less than interested in charging in. That’s blantantly illegal under a great many statues and dangerous for the ones crossing over, they would in all likelihood have no protection under the Law for any of their actions.
I’m waiting for my visit from the authorities now.
In Ontario the OPP is going around to visit anyone who’s supported the truckers online, particulalry on facebook, and handing out little pamphlets intended to intimidate people into not showing up in person because they might be charged with various non-existant offences.
I’m in Ottawa. I’m still on FascistBook including on some of the Freedom Convoy groups and I’ve been downtown. So far, no visits to my humble home.
I’m curious about the US police on Canuck soil. Generally that’s considered a no-no.

Generally, callingyour own citizens various names based on no evidence whatsoever isn’t something a PM should be doing…unless you’re a liebral. Perhaps someone should remind sockboy of the rise and fall of a certain ruler quite reminiscent of him…one named mussolini.

Have Carl put the uniformed thugs’ guns where the sun don’t shine.
Sideways.
You go Carl.
Just give ’em what they asked for, Carl. . .
…but just the firearms for now…
I wondered when sources would start picking up on that one. I saw it on YouTube several days ago. Remember when the Canadian police didn’t carry guns?
I don’t know about local PDs, but the RCMP have always been armed.
They are also the ones who license people to own firearms in Canada, going back to 1867.

According to an article in Canada’s National Post last week the military is saying no thank you to getting involved:
https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/first-reading-military-tells-ottawa-to-find-someone-else-to-evict-the-truckers
Or, the little tyrant wanna be can end the mandates then everybody would leave of their own accord and go back to work.
“Give us a break”
“Terms accepted. Which arm or leg? Your choice.”
I loved Carl’s answer.
Similar dialog in the opening of Men in Black 1. The farmer said “over my dead body” to which the alien responded “Your terms are acceptable”.

The Canadian Army is smart enough to remember the old military axiom about never fighting where you do your recruiting.
Of course, Cabana Boy’s definition of that would be Sarah Lawrence College.

The NYPD is actually bigger than the Canadian Armed forces… and could probably beat them in a fair fight.

Fair fighting is NOT recommended. End it ASAP!

My favorite one from Canuckistan was when the government called the tow truck companies they said, “We all have Covid”.
Military refusal if called upon would bode quite well for the “troubles” that’s a-comin’ down this a way.
So LE is moving in…with “dozens” of officers?

Yeah that might not work out very well, prayers nobody on either side is stupid enough to go off…
