Why does the RCMP not serve Ontario and Quebec?

Answer 1

Oh, dude, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) doesn't serve Ontario and Quebec because those provinces have their own provincial police forces. It's like having your own personal bodyguard instead of relying on the RCMP to protect you. So, yeah, they're just like, "We've got this covered, thanks."

Answer 2

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) does not serve Ontario and Quebec as these provinces have their own provincial police forces: the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) and the Sûreté du Québec (SQ), respectively. The RCMP primarily serves as the federal and national police force of Canada, responsible for enforcing Federal Laws, providing policing services in the territories, and serving as the provincial police force for all provinces and territories without their own. The decision to not serve Ontario and Quebec allows for a more localized and specialized approach to policing within these provinces.

Answer 3

Actually, the RCMP does serve Ontario and Quebec on federal police matters; the RCMP serves as provincial or territorial police for those provinces and territories that want this service--it just so happens that Ontario and Quebec have their own separate provincial police forces, whereas the other provinces and territories do not and use the RCMP for provincial matters. However, the RCMP does have federal policing jurisdiction in Ontario and Quebec.
