- bigbubba 6y agoAlberta still has native 'pack rats' which could perhaps be mistaken for 'true rats' (the sort Alberta is ostensibly free of.) They are still actively fighting them, it's a constant battle I suppose, but at least in theory there aren't any permanent breeding populations of true rats in Alberta. You're not even allowed to own a pet rat there.
