   @ben Paw Patrol is a corporation in the series.

   Wikipedia describes it in more detail:
   "In a 2020 paper published in the journal Crime, Media, Culture, Paw Patrol is criticized for sending the message that companies are more capable of providing social services than the state.[38] Author Liam Kennedy argues that the show "encourages complicity in a global capitalist system that (re)produces inequalities and causes environmental harms". Kennedy suggests that Paw Patrol echoes the "core tenets of neoliberalism" by depicting the state and politicians as either unethical or incompetent while the Paw Patrol corporation is entrusted with crimefighting and conservation.[39][38]"

     Help me settle a debate. Is Paw Patrol publicly funded or are they a private vigilante force? Are they a symbol of Canadian public services or corporate overreach?
