In return, we ought to have the Canadians make berets for our military, the ones that we have are pieces of cr*p.

We lived in Juneau for 25 years and every July 4th the RCMP sent a squad of Mounties to march in the parade. They were very sharp - with their bright red jackets, campaign hats and spit shined boots.
Not so spiffy ....

My favorite Mountie story is from a book about the Klondike gold rush. There was a pass between Skagway and Canada, and the Mounties monitored it and required anyone entering Canada have a years worth of supplies hauled up there before they could cross into Canada. A mobster named Soapy Smith ran Skagway, and one of his henchment hiked up to the pass and went into a Mountie’s office and asked, well, what if I don’t want to bring in a year’s worth of supplies? What if I shoot my way in?
The Mountie opened a drawer, pulled out a revolver, put it on his desk and said “Start shooting. Find out.”
The thug slunk back to Skagway.
