Tonik elucidates that "RCMP is product of research I've been doing about the RCMP specifically and part of a larger interest about national identity. The RCMP is a paradox: a police who does serious law enforcement but is simultaneously tricked out in colonial regalia, steeped in childish nostalgia, and so damn earnest. It's hard not to be enamored but it's hard to hold in the laughter too."

The book is available for sale at Art Metropole in Toronto, Printed Matter in NYC, Colette in Paris, and Boekie Woekie in Amsterdam...
