Commentary
The RCMP’s official motto is “Maintiens le Droit” or “Maintain the Right.” However, the common belief was that it was “We Will Get Our Man.” At least that was the slogan that was used in countless newspaper articles, novels, and movies that enchanted us all in an earlier time. The “Mounties” were incredibly popular not only in Canada, but throughout the Western world. Movies, such as the 1936 classic “Rose Marie” starring Nelson Eddy and Jeannette MacDonald, captured the imagination of millions.
