Military Mottos From Canada
Canadian Military Mottos
"Jeme souviens"
( I remember)
le Royal 22ieme Regimentfrom Canada.
It is also the motto from the province of Quebec.
We must remember those who came before us and gave their lives for our countryand our regiment.
In terms of Canadian history, "Je me souviens" (I remember) has alwaysbeen associated with the Conquest, which is the name given to the process bywhich Britain gained complete control of the North American colonies after theBattle of the Plains of Abraham in 1759. "Je me souviens" has sincebeen used by French Nationalists as a rallying cry for Quebec's status as a'distinct society', because French Canadian culture predates the politicalentity that is Canada by a matter of hundreads of years. "I Remember",then, essentially means "I remember the days before the British tookover" to a French Canadian.

Canadian Military Police
Canadian Military Police are probably unique in the world as they are
classified as Peace Officers in terms of the Canadian Criminal Code, and
because this gives them the same powers as civilian police they have the
power to arrest civilians and any member of the Canadian Forces, regardless of RANK!
