Citation style...

Hi. Over the next month or so, I'd like to take this article forward to GA status. As part of that work, I'd like to propose using the harnvb template short citation system throughout, backed up by the "cite web" template, with the bibliography using the "cite book" templates, and "cite web" templates as necessary. As an example of this in practice, see Henry I of England. I think that short citations for articles with a large number of citations are easier to read and to edit. This would represent a change to the current style, and would therefore require prior consensus, as per MOS:CITE.

Expansion...

As promised a while back, I've finally got on and finished off a proper expansion of the page - I'm pretty convinced it now covers the full literature. A caveat, however: I've tried my best to write in Canadian English, but, not being Canadian myself, I'm sure I'll have made mistakes - my apologies in advance for any BritEnglish variants that have crept in.

Great job!

G'day, great job on this article. I had read through it a couple of times and was just about to start a review when Hawkeye got in first. Great to learn something new. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 04:38, 14 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Revisionist history

The North-West Mounted Police was created from legislation of the Temporary North-West Council and approved by the federal government as all legislation in the territories was. Saying that John A MacDonald planned the whole force out is revisionist history and it makes this article a bunch of crud.
