I was just interested to know if anyone has any ideas on how some of the Canadian government was integrated into the UCAS. We see references to a lot of US-centric agencies as remaining in the UCAS government, but there were two governments before Unification Day. I think this is especially interesting in light of things like just merging the RCMP into the existing US government (i.e., the DoJ) when the RCMP's operations are reflected in the following US agencies:
  • FBI (natch)
  • US Secret Service (incl. Secret Service Unformed Division) (Protection, Electronic Crimes, etc.)
  • US Marshals Service (viz, Judiciary protection)
  • Immigration & Customs Enforcement (DHS agency; combined INS, Customs Service enforcement arms)
  • Diplomtic Security Service (AFAIK. This is what prompted the whole investigation)
  • BATFE (I assume, and for completeness)
I'd mention the DEA, but since that's a part of Lone Star, it's not a major issue. However, there are also things the RCMP does that have no eqv. in the US, such as "contract policing" and operating in peacekeeping operations. But of course, the main difference is that there is no national uniformed police force in the U.S. (Those that are uniformed are either in D.C., ports of entry, federal lands, or the border, generally.)

There's also be a previous discussion about the different intelligence and military units, neither of which have produced much consensus.

However, in the context of the aggregate information on the UCAS, there are only a handful of federal law enforcement agencies in the UCAS:
  • FBI (FBi today, plus smuggling (bye-bye ICE))
  • Secret Service (same as today, except...)
  • Marshals Service (same, but incredulously enough... Matrix Crime. Because it's not like the Secret Service has a history of investigating computer-based/cyber crime or anything...)
  • BATTF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Telesma, and Firearms)
  • FedPols
Basically, what happened to all the Canucks?
