I think this sums up a lot of the motivation of the author, and the general right wing tendency to want a provincial police force.
- the option of providing our own police force, just like the grown-up provinces of Ontario and Quebec.
Just another image thing IMHO for Alberta Separatists. The laws of the country are the same, and the the method of which by they are enforced will always be up for debate, regardless of whether it's a Mountie or APP.
If you think an APP force would have handled the Vancouver incident flawlessly, the history of Dudley George and the OPP or the Oka / SQ would suggest that a provincial police force is as likely to make such errors in judgement.
