Alberta considers replacing RCMP with its own provincial police force

In eight provinces, three territories, and more than 150 municipalities across Canada, it is the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) that hands out speeding tickets, enforces bylaws, and tracks down thieves, thugs, and drug dealers.
