AHC: Hostile Canadian Troops in Moscow

Have the Canadians have troops hostile to the Russian government in Moscow. Bonus points if the Canadians are the ones to take Moscow itself.
 
You know,the idea isn't totally outlandish since this is the before 1900 forum.Somehow align Britain with Germany so that in an alternate WWI,you get Canadian troops as part of the Commonwealth forces storming Moscow.
 
The Allies get more involved in the Russian Civil War than OTL. Canadian troops are part of a White Russian and Allied coalition that crush the Bolsheviks and seize Moscow.
 
Post 1900 but, Canadian troops, including members of the Royal North-West Mounted Police, as it was then, were sent to Vladivostok,
It was the original intention of the Allied High Command was to have “B” Squadron – RNWMP deployed to Vladivostok and a short time thereafter to be boarded onto a Trans-Siberian Railway heading to Omsk, Russia. In July 1918, Omsk had been established as the White Russian Army headquarters opposing the Bolshevik forces.

Other Canadian and Allied Forces in the Caspian Sea area could potentially link up if required or when required.

There was a mutiny among the French-Canadian soldiers who refused to be sent overseas to put down the Reds, but it was squashed by troops from Ontario.

Also, not mentioned in the RNWMP article, the returning police were originally scheduled to disembark in New Westminster, a hotbed of radicalism during the General Strike, but when the crowd which had gathered to welcome what it thought were veterans returning from Europe discovered that they were instead RNWMP coming back from Siberria, they refused to allow them to disembark, and the ship had to be redocked in Vancouver.
 
This will require a post-1900 POD, but if you have an alternate development of the post-WW1 decades you could have a Britain/France/Germany(/USA) vs. Soviet Russia war. IOTL there were people almost up until the start of WW2 who saw Nazi Germany as a potential ally and bulwark against communism; obviously Hitler's general expansionism and obsession with getting revenge for WW1 meant that this didn't happen, but with a saner leader at the helm some sort of anti-communist alliance could work. Then have war flare up somehow (triggered by the civil war in Spain maybe?): the British forces would include troops from Canada, and if the *Allies manage to get as far as Moscow it could well chance that Canadian units are the first to enter the city.
