Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Canada Symbols of Canada?

Any cook putting Cheese-Wiz on my moose steak gets shot!

Not as cute as the cartoon beavers, but I'll toss this in.

Ignorant here- can you tell me why? Don't want to turn this into a political thing, just curious.

Look up Canadian web sites discussing the flooding at High River, Alberta and the mounties actions there.

Jim;
Good afternoon to you sir, I trust the day has been treating you well.

I see that I wasn't reading wabigoon's question closely enough as he did ask about the symbols I "liked" best and not which ones I might have thought were the most recognizable - which is in truth how I responded.

For me personally it pains me a great deal to agree with Jordan on this issue as the performance of our national police force in High River was nothing short of a disgrace. As well I've not been pleased with the Trudeau government's decision to let the RCMP take charge of firearm classifications either. Making thousands of 10/22 magazines which have been in lawful Canadian hands for decades is just the tip of that particular iceberg.

On the membership side we personally know a few RCMP who were unimpressed enough with their management as to advise our daughter to look elsewhere when she was inquiring about a career there. That to me speaks volumes.

When he was assigned the post of Commissioner, I was initially hopeful that Bob Paulson would do a better job of cleaning up some of the decay and perhaps it's a bit better now, but in my view they still need to work on a lot of things, not the least of which is how they are viewed and respected by average Canucks.

That's just one guy's view from the middle of BC and nothing more Jim, but I don't believe I'm alone in holding it.

All the best to you all this summer sir.

As Jim and Dwayne have mentioned, the RCMP has become a highly politicized, police-state-esque, power-hungry organization that is no longer interested in simply enforcing legislated law. The "brass" is quite against firearms ownership by citizens, which is seen in every statement made by the RCMP when there is a citizen that actually defends himself from an assaulting criminal. Unfortunately they're politically bought and paid for by the left.

I have to say my regard for the mounties started to disappear following the marches in Ottawa in opposition to then proposed gun legislation. After seeing them on roof tops with sniper rifles waiting for some one to do something so they could cut loose it totally changed my feelings toward them. In the end I understand those marches were identified as some of the best run ever seen in Ottawa. Now they seem to serve as a public relations tool due to the recognition given to the red serge uniforms in other countries. It is sad when our traditions seem to fail us so badly. It seems impossible to determine whether their actions just originate at the top or how widely they are held by the rank and file.

Wow Guys- I had no clue, so sorry. Why do I feel all of us are going the way of the Cowboy? God bless Canada.
