Other then one retired F&W biologist (who retired over a decade ago), there is not ONE person who is a scientist with F&W, the ACA or the UofA that would want to see a non-indigenous introduced species purposely brought to Alberta. I don't know many at the UoC, but I can almost guarantee you they would feel the same.

Exactly. I know one can't guarantee escapement, so why would one want to play with fire? You and I don't know what negative effects introducing bass to Alberta may bring.

So why would we want to play with that?

If you think introduction of new species is a good idea, ask the Australians what they think of rabbits.
