Woke up in Canada today and you'd swear we just had an election. Wall-to-wall U.S. midterm coverage on our news since last night. Quick reminder for our media: that's a different country. Ours has a federal budget dropping TOMORROW. 11 years of Liberal government, and somehow it's always Trump's fault. Imagine if they spent half that energy on what's happening here. Maybe we'd be headed in a better direction, eh? 🇨🇦

If you live in Canada, and are not a US citizen, please repeat after me: “I’m not a US citizen. I need to pay more attention to the affairs of my own country, and our politics, rather than obsessing over America’s. I cannot vote in US elections, therefore I should not act irrationally or base my entire personality over the outcome of those elections. I cannot blame a foreign president or political party for all the shortcomings and problems our nation is struggling with.”

We now live in a world where things like loyalty and commitment mean nothing. Sad times.

Some buildings hold events. But in Calgary, our home held everything else. One last ride starts tonight.

There's a lot of talk it's because Canada banned plastic grocery bags

JUST IN - Doug Ford discovers that Canadian oil is shipped through the US back to Canada "I have to give credit to Danielle Smith, she came up with these ideas to reroute Canadian oil through Canada" This is unbelievable. They didn't KNOW about this massive risk.

Sad day in Calgary, as we report the legendary radio voice of the Flames, Peter Maher, has passed away. A man of immense class, integrity and heart, Maher was a mentor to many and a comforting voice for Flames fans for 32 years. It was impossible not to love the man. There is a reason we named the Good Guy Award after him. As good a guy as there was. He lit up the room when he showed up this spring, as he always did, to present Blake Coleman with the award. Gutting day.

Barring a trade-up this June, the Saddledome will go its entire existence without seeing a Top 3 draft pick made by the Flames. That’s 43+ years btw.

Jonathan Rowe Liberals spent years saying $2/L gas was the only way to Net Zero… We tax our own fuel then wonder why we can’t compete. Fishermen in Newfoundland paying MORE than guys in Maine just to go to work. You don’t cripple your own economy and call it climate policy. Canada has some of the cleanest energy on earth and instead of exporting it to replace coal, Liberals made it unaffordable at home.

This right here is why we are in the mess we are. Government bloat and overreach. All paid by us the citizens. And people wonder why we pay so much in taxes. That is a million salaries we had to absorb over a decade.

Trudeau was always an idiot. Carney is dangerous. Know the difference.

After watching Mark Carney’s speech from the Liberal Convention, Canadians need to start preparing for a real tough future ahead. Take aways from it: He clearly doesn’t care if we have a free trade deal with the U.S. that’s a million Canadians jobs who rely on that & countless businesses. He doesn’t care how much Canadians will suffer while he implements his new plan for our Country. He is not working in our best interests. This is why he keeps repeating Pro Canada mantras every second, it’s a tactic to keep you believing he is. He is clearly working for unelected parties & the world banking system. I’m actually at a loss on how I feel after watching it. He is pure evil wrapped in a frail smiling unassuming body & millions are fooled by it.

Wow odd. Enjoyed 30 mL of Buffalo Trace this evening.
PM Carney: "It started quietly. People choosing a wine from the Okanagan over one from California -- anyone had any bourbon recently? No, I didn't think so. Sorry."

You know a nation is declining rapidly when the younger generation want to leave and another older generation wants to force them to stay.

Here's what Marilyn Gladu says she thinks of Mark Carney: She says Carney is responsible for the economic mess that we're in, has terrible judgement, and can't be trusted at all. And yet just today, she crossed the floor to the Liberals. You can't even make this up..

Geno man WTF was that?

Please explain......how a HST from TO to QC is national infrastructure? To be clear I wouldn't expect federal tax payers from anywhere other than AB to contribute to a HST from Calgary to Edmonton. What are we doing??
Coming out against building new national infrastructure is a baffling political decision to say the least
