Sois calme¸, Moremiles.

Those FBI agents are "legal attachés" in the US Embassy in Ottawa (there may be a couple in Consulates-General as well).

They are no different than the RCMP attachés that we post around the world. Their function is intelligence gathering and liaison--not direct law enforcement.
