🚨 Victoria Day long weekend in Alberta.
6 fatalities. 25 injury collisions. 122 impaired drivers off the road. Over 1,200 tickets issued. One weekend.
Alberta RCMP were straight about it — aggressive driving, distraction and speeding are back to pre-pandemic levels. Victoria Day is the unofficial start to summer and enforcement ramps up hard from here.
Fines are up 50% since March 2026. Every ticket landing on an Alberta driver right now costs more than it ever has. 1,200 drivers now facing lost Good Driver status and up to $2,600+ in insurance increases over 3 years.
16 more weekends just like that one are coming this summer.
Most of those drivers had no plan. The ones with Shield already had someone going to work the moment the lights came on.
$25 a month — all summer long.
