Episode Details

Albertas government unveils new bill to display federal RCMP policing costs on local tax notices, aiming to enhance transparency and highlight increased costs for ratepayers. The legislation, to be introduced by Public Safety Minister Mike Ellis, has received support from rural leaders but criticism from Albertas Official Opposition Leader Naheed Nenshi. The province continues to advocate for its own police force, with recent expansions to the Alberta Sheriffs Police Service. The bill is expected to pass and receive royal assent, allowing towns and cities to start using it by the end of the legislatures spring session on May fourteenth, with the current RCMP contract set to expire in March 2032.
