Alberta launched its own border patrol last year to help stop the flow of illegal drugs and migrants across what Premier Danielle Smith called the “leaky” U.S. border. But the Interdiction Patrol Team (IPT) has so far made only a handful of arrests for those offences, according to data released through an access to information request.
From the time the IPT began operations in January until Aug. 8, the unit had made two arrests for illegal border crossing and five arrests for trafficking in a controlled substance, data from the Ministry of Public Safety and Emergency Services (PSES) show.

Of these seven arrests, four occurred within the two-kilometre border zone.


Just performative bull#### that costs money and basically does nothing, the ucp sweet spot.

People complain about how much time teachers get off, why don't more people complain about MLAs when the legislature hasn't sat all summer and isn't getting back to work until October 27.

Easy there, I don't think we want to encourage this gang of dung beetles to work any more than they already do. Less is better.

I don't know... if they were sitting in legislature more often then maybe they wouldn't have time to cook up so many horrible ideas to grift our money away.

If you signed up for the COVID/Flu shot, check your eligibility because you might be able to book your shot now and get it for free if you have any of the eligible underlying medical conditions. It's a pretty extensive list, so you might qualify even if you didn't think you would.

I *do* qualify and the stupid booking system claims otherwise.

EDIT: They've done away with the old booking portal and are now doing it through the Alberta MyHealth site, which worked just now.

I went on Friday. They ask if you have read the conditions, and if you qualify. That was it. Now they may have more info to verify, but it sure felt like you could just say yes and get it free.


And yes, the booking is confusing.
