I tried but Canadian SWAT is almost a contradiction. Too many instances in my head about where I could imagine them saying “eh” and “aboot” in normal dialog. That came from an Air Farce skit about absurdly politically correct cops.

I liked Flashpoint. Watched every episode.

I came to hate that show. What turned me off was an episode where a young misfit couple were robbing a jewelry store. I think the backdrop was that the criminal wife was suffering from some disease which healthcare wouldn't cover - thus they were 'forced' to rob. The jewelry store was run by some middle aged couple, and the young thieves put a knife to the jewelry store owner-wife. The jewelry store owner-husband pulled a gun on the criminal couple, but they convinced him to drop the gun, or else they'd stab his wife. He did, and the Canadian Bonnie and Clyde took off with the Gun. When the Canadian JBTs ('Flashpoint') showed up, they kept sneeringly referring to the owners as Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Wesson. And, of course, since the young criminals now had a gun in their possession -- they had to commit crimes. Because having a gun just does that to people...

I clicked that show off, and never watched it again.
