Invite RCMP officers to an underage frosh party and they'll RSVP right away.



Saskatchewan RCMP posted to Facebook this afternoon a tongue-in-cheek message with a serious warning after being invited to a party near Lumsden.



Like any courteous guest, the post said officers would be bringing something to the party.



"Lumsden #‎RCMP will bring chips and salsa and a choice of possible charges for the party goers," the post read.

The post listed a variety of charges and the cost of the fine, including open liquor ($250), underage drinking ($360) and littering ($250).



"Or you can make the smart choice and avoid meeting our officers! Stay safe," ended the post.

(They did attend the party. With chips and salsa.)

I don't think it was accidental. I think some kid really invited them on Facebook.

You Canadians are amazing.

They weren't even joking! They truly did bring chips to the party! Hahaha. ckom.com/article/218499/no-charges-after-rcmp-show-lumsden-underage-frosh-party-chips-and-salsa

ETA:  Oh wait, I see you already said that in the OP.  Reading fail

unrelated - I just finished reading a random cheap kindle book set in Canada and shit kept throwing me off. Like thanksgiving was on the wrong day and the near impossibility of somebody having a legally obtained handgun with concealed carry permit was a plot point.

I was all, "huh??? oh right. Canadian."

Did anyone apologize unnecessarily? Were there mounties? Did anyone stop at Tim's in the middle of a car chase?

it was a crime/suspense novel, so yup, lots of mounties.  of course they referred to them as the RCMP's so it took me a while to figure out what that stood for. 
And LOL, no tim's.  It was waaaaaay the hell out in the boonies on a ranch. 
I'm trying ot think if there were any unnecessary apologies - not really.  But the interpersonal conflicts resolved much faster than most books of the genre would have wrapped things up.  LIke a 15 year rift between a father in son all smoothed over in a 2 day period because they both apologized. 

Canada!
