is there a law in Alberta about talking or texting while driving??

Yep, they just introduced it. It is called the "Distracted Driving" law which means if you appear distracted by anything in the car such as a phone, map, GPS, MP3 player... even the radio. you can be given a ticket.
They love giving tickets out here, ticketing in general has becoming a major revenue stream for the police service. Some of the stories I have been hearing are getting pretty stupid... lots of cases of tickets being given for no real reason so the officers can meet thier monthly quota's.
