Author’s Note It is only through advanced technology that I was able to prepare this blog. If you consider the amount of information I would have had to go through just to start, it is mind boggling. I started with a theory-Canada was not founded for the people, rather, it was created for the Crowns…

A reflection on aging, regret, and rediscovering purpose. Author’s Note: I didn’t plan to write this. It came out one evening after hearing “Gone away” by The Offspring. Just a song — one that hit me differently this time. Maybe this piece is just for me. Maybe it’s for anyone who’s realizing, like I am,…

Author’s Note I really don’t have time for things like this. My days are already full—running a business, keeping my café open, raising a family, staying connected to my community. Yet over the past five years, I’ve watched this country slide into something unrecognizable. I’ve watched friends lose their businesses. I’ve watched government officials close…

Alberta stands on the cusp of a prosperous future—indeed, it seems we’ve always been on the brink of something great, just waiting to be seized. Over the past 50 years, it has become increasingly clear that Alberta’s position within the Canadian Confederation has never been equal. What was once considered a fringe or even irrational…

Have you looked at the political landscape across North America lately? If you haven’t, then you must be living under a rock. We’re in some serious trouble up here in the Great White North.

Good morning from BEAUTIFUL British Columbia! I make a point now of using the name “British Columbia,” because of the woke fools who tell me I am an oppressor for calling the province I grew up in by its name. This province truly is beautiful. It has so much to offer, so much resource, so…

Good day to my fellow Albertans, (and those of you who are Albertan at heart!) And a hearty good day to the rest of you as well! Things are getting very busy for me lately. As I write this, I’m waiting for my son to get ready for his basketball game this morning. We drove…

Good Day Alberta!  (And future Albertans!) Our Premier, Danielle Smith recently did something that politicians often forget to do – she listened to us and did what we asked. At the last UCP AGM, the membership of the party made it quite clear, through a successful policy resolution that, as parents, we require the government…

 It’s been a hectic, crazy month, has it not? The federal government has yet again been embarrassed by a Federal Court ruling.
