RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police)
The National police force of Canada. They originally rode horses back when cars & roads weren't quite up to modern standards. These days they prefer to ride in air-conditioned comfort of Ford Crown Vic Interceptors. The horses are generally only taken out for crowd control, parades, and musical ride.
The Queen's Cowboys pulled me over for speeding and asked for a non-voluntary donation to the National coffers.
A Shackteau is a humble, weather-beaten, structurally questionable shelter located in a spectacular or highly coveted place—Wales, Jackson Hole, Sun Valley, Crested Butte, coastal Maine, the Alps—where the building itself may be worth almost nothing, but the dirt, view, access, and mythology make it absurdly valuable.
In use:
Shackteâu - We thought it was an abandoned shed until the realtor called it a rare alpine Shackteâu with unobstructed views and listed it for $2 million.
