For about a month, that dominated the news cycle and we were constantly told to call in if we have any suspicions if we see a rat. Alberta takes its rat-free status very seriously.

You need to visit Cadomin, it's in Alberta, I'm an indigenous tracker, Alberta Rockies have a huge variety of squirrels you may have not known about, can see them in my videos

About 10 years ago, I was working in the Sherwood Park, Alberta Industrial Park, near the dump and rendering plant. I had a good view of what looked like a rat, but could have been a muskrat. I reported it to our OHS officer, and he told me to forget about it. He didn't want to do the paperwork.

They also have large snakes, that has to help.

In case anyone is wondering, the rat free rule extends into the Saskatchewan half of lloydminister. So there’s this tiny area in Saskatchewan that is rat free as well.

I have been living in Lethbridge for less than a year and have seen rats in an apartment building as well as a dead rat on the side of a road in downtown Lethbridge.

I live in Alberta and while I was on a walking tour in London I was more intrigued by the rats than whatever the tour guide was talking about lol

I thought you were gonna mention how our winters get down to lows of -40 but are typically in the -30s and our summers can get as hot as +40 but hover around the +30s. Y'know, harsh weather and living conditions. I didn't know there were essentially rat-walls on three sides of the province and a security force on the fourth.

It’s funny how the harsh environment in Alberta keeps out lots of things I don’t want to be here: rats, ticks, poisonous reptiles, large insects, poisonous insects, and people. Edit: Thank you everyone for informing me that everything I just listed (except rats) exists in southern Alberta. Please keep in mind that this was a joke (maybe not a very good one but that’s beside the point) and stop taking it so seriously.

bro had it going with the first statement

Canada has free health care but the quality of that care is not that good. Someone who I have known my entire life had to go to multiple different doctors and wait 6 months before she got an mri and discovered a large mass in her chest that had collapsed a lung was pushing on her esophagus and on her heart. She was initially told she had asthma then it was pneumonia. She recently passed away because she had become too weak after the cancer treatment. I would rather her family be in copious amounts of debt than them going through the pain they are going through now.

As an Albertan I can attest to this. We send all our rat's to Ottawa.
