Do you still have Mounties? I saw a troop do a riding display as a kid at Olympia in London and I was fascinated by them.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
I genuinely laughed at that question. Yes, Canada still has Mounties. Our federal police force is known as the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). But you only see them atop ponies in their famous red jackets and broad-brimmed hats in ceremonial roles.
Otherwise, they're just another bad-ass law-enforcement unit 'riding' in high-powered SUV automobiles, packing heat, cracking heads and kickin' butt. And that's before anyone even thinks about breaking the law.

but would you do it with a long drawn out breath and a cadence that makes Marvin the Paranoid Android sound excited?I'd do it myself if somone paid me for it.

But, but, but, I hear a number of you talk like Ali Gold is a proper journalist. More like a bit of a glorified fan who's taken on the role of self-appointed citizen journalist. I can't watch his maundering, droning videos or read that pandering, pop-up heavy London website. Reminds me a lot of that Chris Cowlick character.
They've both been at a while and put themselves in the shop window. If they were that good, they'd have been hired by now by some proper news entity.
Chris Cowlin, sure. Made his name by recording weekly videos of the exterior of the new stadium build (videos which veered from tedious to interesting depending on what what happening but he stuck with it) and built his profile from there. Can't say I have any particular opinion on him as I don't listen to his podcasts but I suppose fair play to him for making a gig out of being a Spurs fan.
Ali Gold spent years covering sports for newspapers, albeit at a local rather than national level. I don't watch his videos and find the Football London site almost impossible to read, but to say he is not a 'proper' (whatever that is) journalist is to ignore his background.

I've been, looking back, maybe harsh on Gold, I don't think he's particularly a top tier journo but he is harmless. My main gripe probably lies more on fans who claim he has some knowledge on what's going behind the scenes when he doesn't really, never seen him break any news.
As for Cowlin, I put him in grifter category
