In the years since the end of the Second Weltkrieg, Canada had found itself under increased threat from the civil war waged just south of its borders.
In some regions, things had stabilized. In others, things had become far worse. Either way, Canada had benefitted greatly. With the Northeastern United States officially integrated into Canada, after a brief conflict provoked by what remained of Roosevelt's rump state, Canada had stabilized the region.
And made use of what Roosevelt had prepared for the sake of keeping the old republic alive. A goal that effectively died with him.
The Canadian Mounted Police no longer wore the bright red uniforms that they had become recognized worldwide for.
Instead, they wore olive fatigues, Brodie helmets, and during dreary days like today, where the rain seemed to last an eternity, matching greatcoats.
