The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) does not serve Ontario and Quebec as these provinces have their own provincial police forces: the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) and the S?reté du Québec (SQ), respectively. The RCMP primarily serves as the federal and national police force of Canada, responsible for enforcing Federal Laws, providing policing services in the territories, and serving as the provincial police force for all provinces and territories without their own. The decision to not serve Ontario and Quebec allows for a more localized and specialized approach to policing within these provinces.

Why does the RCMP not serve Ontario and Quebec？-Well, you know, the RCMP doesn't serve Ontario and Quebec mainly because of the existence of provincial police forces in those provinces. Ontario has the Ontario Provincial Police and Quebec has its own provincial police. These provincial police forces have been established to handle law enforcement within their respective regions. It's all about the division of responsibilities and the way the law enforcement system is structured in Canada. So, that's why the RCMP doesn't have that role there. Oh, and it's also related to historical and administrative factors that have shaped the policing landscape over time.
