Canada is an entirely different ballgame as opposed to in the US. Canada charters and US charters are VERY different for many 1% clubs.

NOW, jut for arguments sake and I don't know how many members are in HA at this time in NYC, nor due I know how many sworn police officers are in NYC

Leave it to say that there are a lot more Cops. NOW again for arguments sake, since the State has dumbed-down and relaxed the entrance requirements of the NYPD there are a lot more mopes getting in the dept.

The percentages are going to be skewed. I would wager there are a lot more unsavory mopes in NYPD than the number % of mopes in HA

Correct. The differences between Europe, Canada, Australia, and the US is beyond recognition. Even the bylaws are very different country to country. Its like comparing a Nigerian businessman with Warren Buffet.
Even in the US region to region is very different. You go to New York City and the traditional MC (men only) will be 1%er. Dozens. Whereas in some states the "fraternal club" is often a support club.
