You'd think someone called a "Peace Officer" would be a person in charge of making sure protests don't become violent, taming rioters, etc.; however, the purpose of Canada's "Peace Officer" is to randomly pull over commerical vehicles on the freeway to make sure they comply with safety and environmental regulations. So I guess, in a roundabout way, they are keeping the peace by attempting to prevent future accidents and global destruction. This is probably a better use of their time--Canadians only riot during hockey season anyway.
