Not bad. Ireland is better though.

Hmm. Compared to HMOs, our system is actually comprehensible and 
efficient...

There was a movie about this (The Canadian Conspiracy).

Obviously your information is antiquarian in nature - the RCMP is a 
fully integrated force and I tell you from personal experience that 
some of the young female members look *damn* good in the Red Serge. 
Of course, put the same young lady in khakis with a vest, a belt full 
of tools of mahem, and a serious kick-butt expression and you 
wouldn't really want to meet her with her On-Duty face on....  

Now, to keep this discussion OT (or to try to drag it back that way), 
people have written rules for grav bikes.... has anyone written rules 
for snowmobile cavalry in SG2? Or skiers or snowshow infantry? 
Strikes me like this is a job for a Canuck, a Fin, or someone from 
one of the other Scandinavian countries.....
