After Alberta announced this week it would not cooperate with Ottawa over the buyback enforcement of “assault-style” firearms, its justice minister alleged on Sept. 28 that the RCMP division in the province is also not supportive.

“Alberta has been informally advised that the Commanding Officer of Alberta’s RCMP does not support the use of provincial resources to administer the federal government’s confiscation program,” said minister Tyler Shandro in a statement posted on social media.
