Canadians aren’t known for complaining so it’s always kind of fun for the rest of us when they do. The classic Mountie Song set to scenes from Due South is a perfect pairing – particularly when you note that Benton Fraser the ultimate Mountie from the series who does love his job does all of his Mountie’ing in the U.S.

Whenever there’s upheaval in the news, and when isn’t there?, there’s something comforting in the black and white world of Benton Fraser, RCMP in the old series Due South
.  He always holds the door for women and stops his horse at a red light. It’s been a long time since it was on the air, so the styles are a bit retro now, but the stories are timeless in a quirky, offbeat way and there is a loyal cult following that shows no signs of dying out – see the Wikipedia entry for all the details.  Supposedly all the characters, no matter how brief the appearance, are named after Canadian historical figures, so see how many you know (Maggie Thatcher is the freebie.)
