I assume if our country becomes way larger in the future they'll make a seperate bureau

Cybercrimes, ATF jobs, DEA jobs, highway patrol, border patrol, forensics for rural areas, FBI stuff, counter-terrorism, search and rescue, the list goes on.

the rcmp is thick

Well unlike the US, Canada wasn't founded on the principle of trying to be not tyrannical.

Which the US is failing at currently but we can talk about that later.

So that's why the US has like 1000 different letter organizations.

Is because they're basically created as loopholes around things that the founding fathers hoped wouldn't happen.

To keep that brief.

But in Canada, we have no such protections. So the RCMP can just do everything.

And get thicc.

And never have to worry about bureaucratic headaches like joint-department stuff. They can just pull up whatever they need because it's all the same organization.

jk rcmp please don't arrest me for threatening to make an illegal firearm. I know you're watching this guy is the real racist not me 😢

We also don't have anything resembling a 2A.

So instead of red flag laws, we have something even worse.

Deadass at any time if an inspecting RCMP officers deems you unfit to own firearms, they can attempt to seize your guns and PAL.

Just on the spot.

Nogunzlmao.

please don't take my rifle it's a .22 anyways with a firing power of 150J it can't do anything

the rcmp is crazy big

Yeah.

I've been thinking about becoming a police officer maybe though

They kinda have to be. Canada's a big place.

RCMP also has country-wide jurisdiction.

So an officer in BC can arrest a nigga in Newfoundland if he wants.

I wish I was taught this in school. I already knew that but I didn't know the rcmp handled the atf

Yup.

all they taught us in social studies is all of the times white people discriminated against minorities

All rural policing is the part I find the most interesting about the RCMP.

How you can live so rural in this country, that you don't even have a police station in town, you gotta get the cops to come from their centralized RCMP barracks nearby.

Thats what most of Alaska is like

Only Ontario and Quebec have a provincial police force.

RCMP doesn't do much there to my understanding. So if they're in those two provinces it's either for bureaucracy or some real shit, there's no inbetween.

did you learn about the komagata maru in school?

it might be only bc education idk

Nope.

We had other ships to learn about like the Montblanc.

That I forget the name of the Norweigan ship that blew up.

But the Halifax explosion was a frequent topic of discussion.

"The Komagata Maru incident involved the Japanese steamship Komagata Maru, on which a group of people from British India attempted to emigrate to Canada in 1914, but most were denied entry and forced to return to Calcutta (present-day Kolkata), India. There, the Indian Imperial Police attempted an arrest of the group leaders, a riot ensued and they were fired upon by the police, resulting in the deaths of 20 Sikhs.

Komagata Maru sailed from British Hong Kong, via Shanghai, China, and Yokohama, Japan, to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, in 1914, carrying 376 passengers from Punjab, British India. Of them, 24 were admitted to Canada, but the other 352 passengers were not allowed to disembark in Canada, and the ship was forced to return to India.[1] The passengers comprised 337 Sikhs, 27 Muslims and 12 Hindus, all Punjabis and British subjects.[2] This was one of several incidents in the early 20th century in which exclusion laws in Canada and the United States were used to exclude immigrants of Asian origin. "

we learnt that this was a horrible action on the side of the canadians, but I realized even at the time that they were justified in denying them
