4. It takes time to get everything in order, including the courts...

and to give enough time that the so-called 'protesters' can't claim lack of due process, etc. I have no doubt the authorities weren't surprised at what they found given this is Alberta, aka Texas North.

From the OP article, it looks like the Alberta Premier has finally accepted that the authorities need to move in, better late than never I guess.
