* ObsfuscatingDisability: Farva's choice of the illicite drugs ends up being a tranquilizer which pretty much immobilizes him. Later, he's recovered somewhat but still needs to use a mobility scooter, which makes him resembles a person with severe mental and physical disabilities, to get around a busy shopping mall where he is made fun of by the Mounties. Farva blows his whistle before loudly announcing that the mounties are harassing the handicapped. This is met with OhCrap faces from the Mounties and an unseen shopper yelling at them to leave him alone.

* TokenGoodCop: All of the troopers besides Captain O'Hagen enjoy pranking motorists in ways that range from childish to sadistic (although Thorny and Foster get the occasional straight man moment compared to the others), and all of the town cops besides Ursula are dimwitted bullies [[spoiler:and drug traffickers.]]

* TruthInTelevision: [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halifax_Explosion The Halifax explosion]] was indeed a real event. And was the largest man-made explosion til Hiroshima, just as Guy says.

* TruthInTelevision: [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halifax_Explosion The Halifax explosion]] was indeed a real event. And was the largest man-made explosion til Hiroshima, just as Guy says. Though considering the large number of fatalities that resulted (over 1'700), a hockey player with no ties to the city naming themselves after the event would likely go over as well as a British football player giving themselves the nickname of Blitzkrieg.

* HitMeDammit: Ursula and Foster meet again at a baseball game after the Winnebago fight with Foster sporting a bandaid on his nose. She offers to even things by giving him a free hit. She closes her eyes thinking it'll be a flirtatious tap and then gets smacked in the eye by a foul ball.

** Made all the more eyebrow-raising when O'Hagan says: "In my day, the rookie got naked." (shoots the gun and discovers they are using real bullets, accidentally destroying one of his cruiser's windows) "And we used ''blanks.''"
*** It's more likely he either knew or suspected they were using real bullets because if he actually thought they were using blanks, why'd he fire in the first place? He probably intentionally shot something to to see if there would be some impact.
