It's cavalry mess kit. The yellow stripe indicates cavalry. Light cavalry will wear two narrower stripes.
In Canada, all Regular Force armoured/cavalry regiments have standard mess kit that looks rather different from this. Standard armour mess kit has also been adopted by many Reserve units and by RCMP officers.
Ergo, this gentleman isn't Regular Force or RCMP. He may be from a Reserve unit, as obsolete patterns of mess kit can be found in many regiments. That would be my guess, although I can't answer for the gongs.
Or, as others have suggested, he may not be Canadian at all.
