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.

The Liberals must stop growing the public service and instead find ways to boost the economy
(Really, get off our backs and get out of the way. That's all it would take)
