Alberta’s police watchdog says there’s no evidence an offence was committed when Mounties used force to arrest a First Nation chief outside a Fort McMurray, Alta., casino in 2020.

The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team also says there’s no evidence of racist treatment by officers against Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation Chief Allan Adam.
