Inspired by this song Dave Howery posted in the "Movies Based on Songs" thread, what if there was large-scale piracy on the rivers of Canada?

Bonus points if government cutbacks cause at least one unemployed Mountie to sign on as a pirate.

What, have none of you people heard Last Saskatchewan Pirate before this? I knew all the lyrics to that thing at the age of 12.

No, never had. And I'm Saskatchewanian (OK, so I haven't been back for more than holidays since '81)

Actuality there were River Pirates, on most rivers in America. Gangs 10~12 men Hijacking Keel Boats and the Like. I think you want them more successful and better known.

A absolutly cool topic. Do they have to operate on Canadian rivers?

Yes, they do, because otherwise a mountie joining makes less of a deal.
