If the Surrey transition is any indication, this would be an extremely expensive move for Alberta. We all know what this is really about, Danielle “mini trump” Smith trying to take Alberta out of Canada.

I’m from Ontario which provides the context for my comment. This is one of those situation where a provincial government is f**ing over their own people. Little to no impact on the rest of Canada. The rest of us just get to put our feet up and watch. Which btw, since we have Ford in Ontario, it is so nice to see another province getting f**d over by their Premier.

It will cost the province hundreds of millions of dollars more for worse service.
No thanks.

People need to understand that the province is actively lying to its constituents to further its political agenda.
One of the most common complaints I hear is the rcmp is understaffed in rural communities and that a provincial police service wouldn’t have the same problems. The province frames this as the rcmp only assigning a certain amount of officers to rural detachments.
What they conveniently ignore is the RCMP sets the MINIMUM amount of officers they will police a detachment with, the province has and has always had the ability to increase those numbers to whatever they see fit. In other words if they wanted 25 members instead of say 8 in Fox Creek, Alberta they can do it, they have to pay for it.
I also see talk about RCMP staff being off on various leaves like sickness, injuries etc. and yet a simple google search shows all major municipal agencies in Alberta having percentages just as bad or GREATER than the RCMPs current woes. In other words it isn’t an rcmp problem, it’s a policing problem that will exist regardless of which agency is policing.
In other words Alberta will have to pay substantially more just to have the SAME level of service they currently have, never mind improving service.
