  11. In Canada, a lot of police ride on horses and they are called mounties. My great uncle was the chief of mountie police in Toronto. One of my favorite children's authors is Canadian. Canada has an island out in the ocean and not many people live there. There are people called the Inuit that are similar to Eskimos that live in Northern Canada. Some people go to their backyard to get syrup from a tree. I am wondering if there are still mountie police?🇨🇦
