I don't usually respond to requests for informations when queried by telephone survey groups. However, I did participate in an 'Environics' survey about crime and law enforcement. Towards the end of the survey were two questions that I believe were the actual focus of the survey. I was asked if I favoured the creation of an 'Alberta Provincial Police Force' and secondly, if I was in favour of 'Privatized' jails in this province.
The PC's have kicked these ideas around before and did not get a good enough response so they were set aside for future consideration.
Seems like they are trying again to get some kind of support.
I for one do not want any 'Alberta Storm Troopers'. I can see it all: "Ex-Officio gets appointed to 'Top Cop' position".
I definitely do not want some, (most likely American), private group running our jails. This nothing but a Union busting move and nothing more.
Everytime that the Alberta Gov't has some dispute with the Feds, (health, energy, agriculture, young offenders act, etc.), they start this B.S. about 'we're a goin'a do it our way'.
How do you all feel about these issues?
