Just a thing

I came across this article in the paper the other day...it "intrigued" me. A lot. We have GREAT neighbours who are from Alberta in this hood, GREAT neighbours... we also have some troubling "scofflaws" (that's a great word, isn't it?)from Alberta in this hood. Many neighbours are all too familiar with some of the vehicles with Alberta plates that BLATANTLY deal drugs in our neighbourhood. BLATANTLY. This Jeep Liberty with Alberta plates, for instance, has been dealing drugs for six months or more here in the southend. I know this car has been phoned in and reported to the RCMP for selling drugs (at the very least) ten times. It's been featured in my Blahg at least three times, if not more. Imagine the neighbourhood phonelines ringing off the hook yesterday morning when this car was finally towed away. You could hear the collective WOOT WOOT rising in the air around here. Now, maybe we neighbours all need to pass the collection plate to send the driver(s) back to Alberta to face the warrants they have most likely been hiding from by selling drugs out here.
Life's little dark-minded triumphs. I am happy they lost their car, but they are still out here selling their drugs...on foot in the rainy season. You know, during the rally, this Jeep circled by us a few times honking its horn, as if in appreciation of what we were trying to accomplish, as if we didn't know just exactly who they were. As if.
I don't know why it took six months...will it take six months for the Toyota Forerunner with rusted wheel wells, too? Let's hope not.

OK I'm a bit confused by that article. Is it implying that local state laws stop people on arrest warrants being moved back to the arresting state? It's all Canada right? What's the problem?

I'm not positive WHY but, I think it's the cost of transporting?!? Because in Vancouver, business owners are helping pay to send them back. Lame, isn't it?

Well, maybe this serve as a warning to the other dealers out there..At the very least, these scumbags will be walking now.
I'll put money in the collection plate to send them home.
