My opinion on the downloading is:
Its ####ing annoying. And it will only continue in the future as they continue to cut grant funding but increase downloading. But I don't foresee that changing with the NDP. It's a trend among all provincial parties to to continue to download responsibility.
This Provincial Police Force will be the next broken "we won't download this onto municipalities" broken promise from the current regime. It is one reason I hope the NDP get a majority this spring as I believe that the plan will be scrapped and no more time or money wasted on such a stupid idea that no one rurally supports (We voted overwhelmingly at the RMA for a motion in support of the RCMP).

Anything is possible with the UCP but they are providing Grande Prairie funding to cover the cost of stitching to a City Police force from the RCMP (covering about 50% of the cost if I understand).
