Magnifisyncopathological: Canada Invades Texas!

Canada Invades Texas!

Well. Not really.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police are getting some Texas training.

They stopped in Central Texas to learn from Texas Department of Public Safety troopers.

The Mounties plan to ride in DPS vehicles and observe traffic stops.

This oughta be good. Might be worth it to drive nuckin' futs outside the City of Austin and get pulled over just to hang out with the Mounties. Haven't been bothered by them yet, and I'm half Canadian!

They picked DPS because they share similar border concerns.

An American nationalist (something I consider myself to not be) might take offense at that. Is this implying the US is Canada's Mexico, sending millions of dollars of illegal goods and services northward as well as hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants? :)

I do wish the Great White North would send more cold weather. The last few weeksn haven't been enough, even though Austin did get some snow.

Mounted police Sgt. Rob Ruiters said the cross training is beneficial because it establishes contacts.

"The world is a smaller place, and so I'm saying there is a traveling criminal who is in Texas today may be in Canada tomorrow, or vice versa,? Ruiter said.

I'd stop by Vancouver first, mind you.
