Talk about it here.

The Mountie harasses an American citizen traveling in Canada.

DO I LOOK LIKE AN OFFICER? I'M DA MOUNTIE!

Mountie pulling over people on horse. When I left concert a few years back I was walking on the wrong side of the street and got charged by a state police on horse. That horse wanted to run me down big time. Don’t screw around with a determined horse.

Enjoyed these so far as the vignettes have a good atmosphere to them.

Canada looks a lot like Connecticut for some reason. Hmmmm

So the motorist Jacques pulls over is from Georgia, is she? If I didn't know better, I'd swear Vince was taking a shot at WCW. He wouldn't do that, would he?

 

I'll give Jacques credit for this much: He's playing the character well enough that it's hard to remember that he's Jacques Rougeau, who'd just been jobbed out of the tag division a little less than a year before. The trick to success in the WWF with a far-out gimmick is simple. If you have enough natural acting skill to play one of these screwball characters well, you have a chance of getting over, even if your character's stupid. If you're not a good actor or fight the idea on camera (as some did), you're headed down the toilet. So far, as I said, Jacques is pulling this one off pretty well. We'll see if that continues in the weeks ahead.

 

This should be dated 12/22, not 12/29.
