"From a thousand hills a thousand rills gather into a mighty river which sweeps on to the ocean. An attempt to dam the Niagara, in the hope that it would never reach the sea, would be no more foolish than the attempt to dam labour from its resistless onward sweep towards its natural outlet – cooperative industry."

The North West Mounted Police was founded in 1873. It was renamed the Royal North West Mounted Police in 1904 in recognition of its contribution to the Boer War. It became the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in 1920 as a result of the Winnipeg General Strike and Red Scare. It moved its headquarters from Regina to Ottawa and added security and intelligence to its duties.
