The Mountie standing by the female officer with the shotgun is my Brother-in-Law - 40 Cent got to meet him!

Hey, Migs, that link took to the Edmonton Sun, but says no such article.
Hope that it all worked out well and safely.

Jeff looks pissed that he isn't in a full-blown firefight!

I posted a new link that appears to work ....sorry 'bout that Bro !  :)

Is everything ok up there?

[LongBlade]

Hope those Mounties stay safe.

Seems to be a common occurrence in my brother-in-law's area. Some recently graduated Mounties in the Atlantic Provinces haven't drawn their gun after their first 3 years and he can't even remember how many times he's drawn it in a month. I keep hoping that he gets a transfer east before his luck runs out!

Who you kidding??!!  Jeff wouldn't want it any other way... unless he's actually starting to mature as he approaches middle age??!!  :o

[MIGMaster]

His wife wants to move back to NB.....

[Centurion40]

No parlez francais in Alberta??!!  ;)

[MIGMaster]

Non. Ils parlent très peu.  :D

[Staggerwing]

Watch it with that parlez stuff guys, some folks might get the wrong impression.  ;D

[Centurion40]

Nah, ya gotta meet Jeff's wife, or at least hear some of Migsy's tales about her.

[MIGMaster]

Ya got that right !

Sure there is .... just that most of it is in towns near Lesser Slave Lake (St. Albert by Edmonton is a french speaking/catholic enclave holding out against heathen anglais) . But that is only part of the issue....  there ain't no redneck like a francophone redneck!
