Fort MacLeod RCMP lay charges after turkey farm protest
Fort MacLeod, Alta. – Four people have been charged following an investigation that began on September 2, 2019, concerning several individuals gaining unlawful access to a turkey farm near Fort MacLeod.
On September 2, 2019, at approximately 7:15 a.m., Fort MacLeod RCMP were dispatched to a rural property in response to a large gathering of people protesting on a turkey farm and the adjacent highway.
On arrival, RCMP located several people who had entered the barn area unlawfully. The situation was resolved peacefully with the land owner and protesters, all of whom departed by 12:15 p.m.
The ongoing investigation has led to charges against several people for their alleged involvement.
Maxwell Ming Mah (46) of Edmonton, Claire Buchanan (28) of Calgary, Kennadi Rae Herbert (24) of Pincher Creek, and a 16-year-old female from Calgary, have all been charged with one count of Break & Enter to Commit Mischief, contrary to s. 348(1)(e) of the Criminal Code.
All four have been released from custody. The three adults are scheduled to appear in Fort MacLeod Provincial Court on November 27, 2019. The youth is scheduled to appear in Fort MacLeod Provincial Court on November 15, 2019.
As this matter is now before the courts, no further information will be provided.

Canada, Mexico Tariffs Coming April 1 Unless You ‘Stop Allowing Fentanyl Into Our Country’
From the Daily Caller News Foundation
By Harold Hutchison
Canada should expect Tariffs starting April 1
Secretary of Commerce-designate Howard Lutnick told a Senate committee that the threat of imposing a 25% tariff was to get Canada and Mexico to “respect” the United States and stop the flow of fentanyl into the country.
President Donald Trump nominated Lutnick, who rebuilt Cantor Fitzgerald after the financial services firm suffered massive losses in the Sept. 11, 2001 attack on the World Trade Center, to serve as Secretary of Commerce Nov. 19. Lutnick told Democratic Sen. Gary Peters of Michigan during a Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee hearing that the threatened tariffs were intended to “create action” on two major issues.
WATCH:
“The short-term issue is illegal migration and worse, even still, fentanyl coming into this country and killing over a hundred thousand Americans,” Lutnick said. “There’s no war we could have that would kill a hundred thousand Americans. The president is focused on ending fentanyl coming into the country. You know that the labs in Canada are run by Mexican cartels. So, this tariff model is simply to shut their borders with respect, respect America. We are your biggest trading partner, show us the respect, shut your border and end fentanyl coming into this country.”
“So it is not a tariff, per se,” Lutnick continued. “It is an action of domestic policy. Shut your border and stop allowing fentanyl into our country, killing our people. So this is a separate tariff to create action from Mexico and action from Canada, and as far as I know, they are acting swiftly and if they execute, there will be no tariff. If they don’t, then there will be.”
Drug overdoses killed 105,007 Americans in 2023, which is slightly fewer than the 107,941 who were killed in 2022, according to the Centers for Disease Control. The Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) seized over 55 million fentanyl pills in 2023 alone, CBS News reported.
One kilogram of fentanyl can reportedly kill up to a half-million people, according to the DEA.
Almost 22,000 pounds of fentanyl were seized at the U.S. border in fiscal year 2024 with another 4,537 pounds being seized in fiscal year 2025 to date, according to statistics released by United States Customs and Border Protection. Upon taking office on Jan. 20, Trump issued several executive orders, including designating Mexican drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, declaring a national emergency on the southern border and setting policy on securing the border.
