A Look Back in History with New Eyes.
The Alberta that I Know and love and adopted as my new home over five decades ago is not like the rest of Canada.
When I came to Calgary, and when I went to the Calgary Stampede the local aboriginal population were featured in the parade and highly respected. Calgary has named major thoroughfares after native leaders.
But that's not all. John Ware (Black for you who discriminate by skin) was highly respected in Alberta Legacy. Like so many Albertans he had escaped tyranny and made a life for himself and his family. There was Alberta.
And, that was the Calgary and the Alberta that I came here to know and love.
I'm not a city boy so I lived far out in the country and my neighbors were European immigrants and refugees, making good here in Alberta, after running away from the same kind of deadly silliness we're seeing now coming to our shores.
The 88 Olympics was exceptional in the community involvement, and everyone gave without any thought of profit.
Is that Calgary still alive?
Danielle is our new Louis Riel and I don't think they can hang her now in 2025 but they're doing their best to bury her.

So, a couple of days ago my wife strained her back from working out a little too intensely (going for a personal best deadlift). She was in pain and couldn’t sleep or get comfortable, as anyone who has dealt with a sore back knows.
Normally she would have grabbed the Advil/Tylenol and maybe the Rebaxacol?, but I convinced her to let me apply some DMSO (75% concentration) on her sore back. She was very skeptical but I have had pretty great results using it on a severely sprained ankle and on a deep deep laceration on my hand.
Within in 15 minutes of application, her pain subsided dramatically and she was able to move freely without tending up.
The next day she woke up sore and stiff again so I applied the DMSO again. It worked to dramatically reduce the pain again.
That evening the pain slowly reappeared and she didn’t want to reapply the DMSO as it is kind of smelly and it irritates the skin somewhat, so I gave her 1ml of liquid CBD oil (Frank CBD 100mg/g). Her pain was pretty much ...
