Why would a East Indian want to wear his Turbin while dressed in a RCMP Uniform? I don't believe it is anything against east Indians and there culture. The red surge is practically a Canadian trademark. From the round hat to the brown boots, it just says Canadian and not East India.
Moses crossed the red sea in order to escape from the Egyptians and slavery. After they crossed the Red Sea, they wandered around for 40 years. At last, they were guided by God to the promised land which they had to cross the Jordan River to enter. Unfortunately Moses died just before they entered the promised land, so the Israelites were guided by Joshua. So the Red Sea: escaping from slavery in Egypt. The Jordan River: entering the promised land.

Excellent question. :) Priests wear red chasubles when celebrating feast days in honor of martyrs; i.e. those who gave their lives rather than compromising the Faith. The color red reminds us of the blood they shed, calling further to mind the Precious Blood Jesus shed during His Passion. Red is also worn on Pentecost and other mass celebrations honoring the Holy Spirit. On these days, the color red may call to mind fire, a symbol under which the Holy Spirit manifested His presence throughout salvation history; e.g. Ex 3:2-3, Ex 13:21-22, Ex 14:19-20, Acts 2:2-4.
Catholic priests do not wear robes when administering the sacrament of confession. Usually they wear a surplice, which is a white long-sleeved linen garment that extends just beyond the waist, and a purple stole. The purple stole is considered so important that even when in prisons or in times of extreme persecution, priests hid a purple stole on their persons, even if it was no more than a purple thread, for use when hearing confessions.
