This was always bullshit.
History lesson time: late June 2020, BC had worked and sacrificed to eliminate Covid locally and had done it, the province was one of the first outside China to have cases, but we had beaten it. Because of that, we had public Canada Day celebrations.
July 1st: a bunch of Albertan morons drive to Kelowna so they can party, reintroducing covid to the province.
Kelowna is just Alberta lite anyway. Lots of those people probably have vacation homes out there haha
Also as a Victorian, covid spread here from Vancouverites looking to party. Covid on the island was a fucking nightmare. Most packed camping season ever I think. Bathrooms were mostly closed and I’m still finding human shit in 2026 lol

I bet they complained about our healthcare, government and culture, demanding that we copy them. KLF would’ve done it, the bc conservatives are traitors.
Over the past decade, rats increased by 390% in Washington DC
These things just write themselves, don’t they?
Ya, and its name is Marlaina.

It’s not that there are no rats in Alberta; they are just actively illegal there and hence uncommon. If rats are found on your property, the government can compel you to exterminate them. Rats cannot be kept as pets.
Dead rats and even small infestations of rats have been found before so I don’t understand what makes this one special.
I wonder if rat breeders exist in other provinces?
I imagine so if there is a market for them as pets.
The BC hippie approach would be “Sterilise him!”
That seems a bit intense. There are nonlethal rat food bait that just cause temporary sterilization. That combined with nonlethal traps works great.
Fool-meat Albertan-things boast rat-free lines-borders, yes-yes! But Clan Skryre has breached the perimeter-zone! Dig-burrow beneath the oil-tar sands, steal-snatch the black warpstone, quick-quick! The Great Horned Rat claims the prairie-lands! Yessss yesss.
Ahahahahahaha!
Probably why the UCP is politically done.
Could be the Premier conspiring with foreign governments that’s been identified?
Rat fell out of a window American style.
Imagine believing that the rats stop at the Provincial border, repelled exclusively by the power of oil revenue…
And it’s due to climate change. Fitting.
How so? Alberta’s climate is getting less harsh but it was never the reason that rats weren’t present. There are much more hostile environments in Canada that have rats.
I also think that Alberta was never truly rat free. I know people who have seen them in Calgary before. There is just no way that they magically disappear at the BC border for instance. Rats crawl into people’s vehicles and then those vehicles go back to Alberta.
There are supposed to be no breeding rat population. People see lots of other things and think they are rats.
The rat hotline publishes stats: https://www.alberta.ca/rat-control-program-statistics
Effectively no rats but they do pop up.
Lots of people mistake muskrats as rats, that’s true
I think I smell a rat.
