Canadians are polite, right?
So polite, in fact, a conservation officer in British Columbia practically pleaded this week with a pair of moose to leave a school yard in Prince George.
“Alright guys,” the officer can be heard saying off camera as the moose munch on a tree. “It would be really nice if you left the school grounds. It would make our job a lot easier. Please? That would be great. You’d be doing us a huge favour. I know that tree’s delicious, but there’s many other trees in the city.”
He did everything but say, “sorry.”
These moose were not impressed by our COs polite request to leave a school yard in Prince George. The moose eventually moved on#princegeorge pic.twitter.com/rtVmvJwAdF

The moose did eventually vamoose.
“Thank you guys for your cooperation,” the officer added.
Though this might give you a new appreciation for the nicety.
After all, this is the kind of workplace environment the conservation officer service in B.C. are dealing with.
A Peace Region Conservation Officer woke up this morning to discover he had a visitor. As a CO you learn quickly there is little anonymity in small communities; it comes with the job. However, this may have crossed the line. 😊 pic.twitter.com/e0C1yVapme
