When the results of the latest Public Service Employment Survey landed on Dan Rogers’ desk earlier this year, the new head of Canada’s spy agency was angry.
No matter how he looked at them, the results for CSIS were bleak and clear: there is a leadership trust crisis

The RCMP's felt hat, nicknamed the “red Stetson,” is as iconic as an internationally recognizable piece of Canadiana as it gets. It's been part of the RCMP uniform for over 100 years.
And, unlike what's written on the RCMP'S website, it’s made in the U.S.

The RCMP's Stetson is 'iconic' Canadiana. It's also made in America
The Mounties' stetson hate has been described as "mythical", "iconic" and a "defining element" of the RCMP's Canadiana image. It's also made in the United States.
