      At an RCMP Musical Ride exhibition in Ottawa a few days ago (June 27)—usually a display of the famous mounted drill team in dress uniform—the Mounties changed the tempo a bit for the family event.

      Out came a tactical SWAT team—complete with full body armour, automatic weapons, and armoured vehicles—that pursued a "suspect" in a vehicle, took him down under the cover of smoke grenades, and then "searched" for his accomplice.

      An announcer, meanwhile, read a pitch for the RCMP as a career choice.

      Harper sits with a blank look on his face and a ridiculous haircut.

      Nothing says family better than showing the violence we can bestow upon one another to the young impressionable ones we claim we love.
      Lock and load values.
      There's a profit in it somewhere.
