On Dec. 21, 1910, four Royal North-West Mounted Police officers left Fort McPherson to deliver mail and parcels to Dawson City.
They never reached their destination. All four died in the wilderness.
This is the story of the Lost Patrol.

Yes! As Smith redefines what she calls democracy, it’s absolutely time for the silent majority to push back against authoritarianism! Accountability happens between elections too, even though UCP prefers to dismiss any dissent from mainstream moderate Albertans. We’re not extreme leftists! #ableg
Get over it?
We have a democracy and free speech and the right to criticize power. When the rule of law and the checks and balances of democracy are threatened we have a duty to stand up and defend democracy. Only wannabe dictators want us to do & say nothing. #ableg #cdnpoli
