I will kindly remind you that the government of Canada was created to protect the interests of a blanket retailer.

And why we have the RCMP, who've sadly out lasted the blanket retailer.

Pourquoi pas les deux? Manufactured blankets from Europe, furs for hats from Canada, take a profit both directions. Keep the atrocities small enough to avoid most of the history books, and here we are.
