The RCMP held a gun to my wife's head when she was pulled over and threatened to shoot. I think it was because she was driving a beat up car in a wealthy part of the city. After they realized she was a student, they just let her go and did a complete 180 pretending they were all buddy-buddy with her.

During the interaction they said some really threatening, creepy, and disparaging things.

We launched a complaint, but since we left the country (for work), they said they couldn't do anything as we were non-residents.

The whole thing was completely unacceptable. I'm not anti-police, but the RCMP need serious reform. I feel uncomfortable every time we return to Canada visit family.
