British Bobbies for Calgary

The Calgary police force is recruiting British police officers, CBC news reports.

This story is interesting because it discusses the British recruit's perceptions of Canadian society. A bit more historical context would have been welcome, however, for the story fails to mention that it was once fairly common for Canadian police forces (most notably the RCMP) to recruit officers in the British Isles.
