Just to correct the correction
Just a couple of points of clarification on the information given above so that we are all working off of the same data. The RCMP have the explicit mandate to provide policing in National Parks ( I know the park wardens also perform this function), Indian reserves ( I know we call them First Nations Lands but thats not how the act reads) and all other Federal Properties. Anything beyond that is done under contract.
Also the Province of Alberta does indeed have a Provincial Policing force called the Alberta Sheriff's department who have full policing authority. You can dispute this if you wish however when they pull you over please show them proper deference as they are developing a reputation for over reacting in a violent manner.
