I'm wondering how many people are actually active on here. We have a few regular posters and some who like articles quite regularly but I think the majority of our subscribers seldom or never visit.
The Lions Locals was set up as a continuation after Danielle Smith closed down Danielle Smith Locals after becoming politically vulnerable.
For a time we maintained connections but lately this seems to have faded away to where there's only a small remnant active, and I suspect many have drifted off to other sites.
What other places are people finding worthwhile?

When I first came to Canada, I landed in Alberta. And I’ll be honest, it felt familiar. The people had a spark in their eye, the land breathed ambition, and the culture rang with a deep, honest pride. To me, Alberta wasn’t all that different from Texas. It was a land of risk-takers, builders, doers. Of families who made their living from the land, who didn’t ask for handouts, and who believed in something very old and very precious: that your life is your own.
And so for years, I assumed Canada was like that everywhere. That Alberta was simply one reflection of a larger national spirit.
But then I went further west, Vancouver, Victoria. And I felt a shift. Not just in politics or preferences, but in the very framework of belief. The worldview was different. The relationship to government was different. The definition of freedom, even, was different.
And that’s when I realized something that shook me: Alberta...
