    VIDEOUntil now I thought that the most RIDICULOUS Covid mask worn by a public figure was the Darth Vader double mask rig worn by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin. However, it seems I will now have to revise that assessment due to the picture in this video which serves to reveal the inner Dork of its wearer, Naheed Nenshi, the former mayor of Calgary who is now running to become the leader of the Alberta New Democratic Party (NDP). For those of you not living in Canada or down here in Baja Canada aka South Florida (now home to the best...

    AParents whose kids have undergone medical or surgical 'transitioning' say that Premier Danielle Smith’s policies will spare other families from 'the heartache their families have been through.' (LifeSiteNews) — Many parents, some of whom consider themselves very “liberal,” are on board with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith’s forthcoming legislation that will ban doctors from surgically or chemically “transitioning” children, saying the new rules will help prevent the immense sorrow that comes from extreme transgender ideology. As highlighted in a recent Epoch Times report, parents whose kids have undergone medical or surgical “transitioning” say that Smith’s new policies will only benefit families...

    OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada's health minister on Thursday said planned restrictions for transgender youth in the Western province of Alberta are "extremely dangerous," a sign that policies could become a political wedge issue going into next year's election. On Wednesday, conservative Alberta Premier Danielle Smith unveiled sweeping changes to policies related to students and gender identity, restricting the medical treatments they may seek. This includes prohibiting hormonal treatment, puberty blockers and gender affirming surgery for children under 15 years of age and banning gender-related surgery for minors. Parents also will have to give permission for any student under 15 to...

    Smith said she viewed the sit-down interview as an opportunity to speak with all types of media and that she doesn’t agree with the viewpoints of every outlet she speaks to — a point made by her office in November when the event was announced. Carlson also noted he and Smith had dinner Tuesday night. “First of all, we had dinner last night, and I had the best time — and thank you for letting me, a rank foreigner, ask you questions,” Carlson said. Carlson asked Smith for her thoughts on the four men arrested at the Coutts border crossing...

    Albertans did the right thing Saturday night, unplugging enough that the provincial power grid was able to avoid resorting to a series of rotating power outages on a night when the wind-chill readings across the province threatened to drop to -50. The Alberta Electric System Operator (AESO) worked with the province to issue an Emergency Alert early Saturday evening, asking everyone to reduce electricity use to essential needs only, to lower the load on the province’s electrical grid, which had been running with a grid alert since 3:30 p.m. Almost immediately, the AESO says there was a 100 megawatt (MW)...

    Albertans were asked for the second evening in a row on Saturday to limit their electricity usage to essential needs only. According to an alert issued by the Alberta Emergency Management Agency to all cell phones shortly before 7 p.m., a high demand for power during the extreme cold placed the province at a "high risk" of rotating power outages. "On top of high demand of our own energy generation, Alberta's grid receives electricity from neighboring provinces. Extreme weather in Saskatchewan and British Columbia is impacting electricity sharing, which is also a contributing factor to tonight's grid alert," Nathan Neudorf,...

    Alberta's United Conservative government has invoked its controversial Sovereignty Act for the first time by introducing a resolution to push back against the federal government's proposed Clean Electricity Regulations. The resolution, tabled in the Alberta legislature Monday, instructs governments and provincial entities such as the Alberta Electric System Operator and the Alberta Utilities Commission to ignore the regulations when they come into force "to the extent legally permission." The resolution also raises the possibility of Alberta setting up a Crown corporation to protect the private sector companies that provide electricity in the province. The Clean Electricity Regulations, currently in draft...

    A restaurant that refused to shut down during COVID-19 restrictions and didn't require documentation of vaccination had its charges dropped after finally getting its day in court. The crown dropped charges against Jesse Johnson, owner of Without Papers Pizza, after just 10 minutes of action in the courtroom, Media Bezirgan reported. The Calgary, Canada, business faced shutdowns and charges from the Alberta provincial government after it refused to close while also declining to participate in Canada's vaccine passport program, which required two doses of the COVID-19 vaccine to eat indoors at restaurants.

    Alberta’s Leduc geological formation contains an abundance of lithium, a critical and rare metal that is needed in batteries to power electric vehicles and cellphones. Lithium has traditionally been extracted from “hard rocks,” but in Alberta, it exists in the brine, or water, left behind in oilfields across the province. Geologist Chris Doornbos started E3 Lithium, a TSX-listed geo-tech company that entered into a strategic partnership with Imperial Oil last year. And last week, the company announced some impressive test results. “Our resource was upgraded (last week) to 16-million tonnes — 9.4 indicated and 6.6 measured resources of lithium carbonate...

    A Canadian pensioner seeking euthanasia because he fears homelessness has received approval from a doctor despite admitting poverty is a major factor in the decision to end his own life. Les Landry, 65, told assessors for the procedure he 'doesn't want to die' but has applied for medical assistance in dying (MAID) because he can't afford to live comfortably. Astonishingly, a doctor has given one of the two signatures required for Landry to end his own life, despite knowing that financial hardship - not illness - is a leading reason for the profound decision. Landry is now awaiting the decision...
