Over the past decade, rats increased by 390% in Washington DC
These things just write themselves, don’t they?

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.
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.
The BC hippie approach would be “Sterilise him!”
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.
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
Probably why the UCP is politically done.
Imagine believing that the rats stop at the Provincial border, repelled exclusively by the power of oil revenue...

“Did someone summon me? Do you want to hear about oil? Is this the Sunday brunch Tammy Lich sorry I mean people from my church invited me to?”

Hmm I feel this is Andrew' Pantons fault
Pretty sure they were talking about it A few weeks back on the regulation podcast and making jokes about they just find rats and take them over the border etc
Hilarious. A community of people who think they are special realizing they are just humans. Poor little rats. I bet they are better stewards of the earth than any of the "albertans"
How embarrassing for the fascist UCP. Hurting trans people more important than the health of the province.
I know albertans who have seen rats in calgary before. Alberta has never been rat free. That said I lived there for 24 years and never saw one.
