A place to ask Canadians questions and get answers. The most obvious questions would be about Canada, but you can ask about pretty much anything; news, current events, society, etc

I don't intend this as an AMA format, but can entertain some. Rules:

Be civil and act in good faith.
No trolling.

How would you feel about Canada switching to provincial/territorial/indigenous police forces? (self.askacanadian)

This would come after the abolishing of the RCMP.

I don't actually propose abolishing law enforcement, I want it to be completely over hauled. Learn lessons from other countries. Implement the giod ones here.

Also root out all of the people with old types of thinking.

If younare going to have a rules based society there needs to be a mechanism to enforce those rules. Police as theybare set up aren't the answer, but neither is no law enforcement.

I'm also not arrogant enough to think my ideas as to what it should look is actually coherent.

So which country has good police.

I mean the UK had cops without guns so that’s a good start.

I said good ideas from other countries.

But, we can start looking at which one have single digit or lower yearly body counts nationally as they seem to be doing something right.

It's not copy, it's learn and adapt.
