The Alberta government has hired Price Waterhouse Coopers (PwC) Canada to study whether the province should replace the Royal Canadian Mounted Police with a provincial force.

This is not the first time the idea of transitioning away from the Mounties has come up in Alberta. In 2001, the so-called “firewall letter” to Premier Ralph Klein proposed establishing a provincial police force to replace the RCMP.
