GL: Can one avoid Canada?

[Ron Rogers]

Mostly, they do not wear those beautiful uniforms which have taken on an 
almost ceremonial role except for Sergeant Preston of the Yukon. So, don't 
doubt an RCMP officer wearing his/her regular duty uniform.

| RCMP = Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
|
| Sometimes they are mounted on boats.
