So in this case, anything other than a province-wide alert would have been dumb.

But in the Ontario cases I guess they were also going provincewide, within only a couple hours, and it's like 14 hours from Thunder Bay to Toronto. So... I dunno.

Edit: For what it's worth, 6 hrs, 52 minutes from abduction time to the amber alert at 21:42. Google Maps says ~6 hours, 15 minutes from Edmonton to the Coutts crossing. Presumably they'd have been made aware well prior to the alert.

Why do we restrict it to Alberta only? She could have driven to Sask or BC much quicker than Coutts.
