Here’s a look at the Kananaskis River just downstream from Barrier Lake. Highway 40 is closed at Sibbald Creek Trail. Parks officials say around 1,500 people are stuck in campgrounds in the area due to bridge washouts and mudslides.

@Albertadoctors President @Bjwrz says Albertans are satisfied with their family doctors - if they have one.

He says not knowing how many actual doctors are in the province makes it difficult to close the gap.

Danielle Smith pegs the cost at starting up the country of Alberta at $400B.

Chatted with economist Chetan Dave, who believes it would be closer to $500B- adding we'd also be starting from scratch on trade deals and tariffs.

Albertans deserve to know exactly what some of the leading voices behind separation are advocating: mandatory military service, citizenship based on birthplace, and a vision of society that belongs in the past.

At a time when Calgary is attracting talent, investment, and opportunity from across Canada and around the world, the provincial referendum decision is giving oxygen to a movement that creates uncertainty, division, and risk.

Our city needs more homes, more jobs, more infrastructure, and stronger ties with the rest of Canada and the world. Instead, we're being dragged into a debate that threatens investment, undermines confidence, and distracts from the real challenges facing Albertans.

Calgary's future is as a growing, confident Canadian city. We must be focused on building that future, not legitimizing a movement that puts it at risk.

WOW!

Today Smith tried to perpetuate her spin on what duty to consult means and how it applies...

And Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew was having NONE of it!

UPDATED: Still catching this column up to one of the craziest recent days in Alberta politics, and that's saying a lot. Everything from cabinet resignations to a comms blooper that's now a national joke.

If the Oilers plan all along was to let Knoblauch go, then their handling of this has been horrendous.

If they wanted to explore Cassidy as an option, and if it didn’t work out retain Kris, then it was risky - if it got out, they’d be scuttling a coach they just re-signed and were considering keeping.

The fact it got out made a return for Knoblauch impossible.

Arguably the most important off season in 30 years for this franchise gets off to a rough start.

Have to think Bowman and Jackson are very much on the clock as well. Fatigue and injuries only go so far in masking a body of work with some massive mistakes at critical junctures.

Brett Kulak with a series winner last night puts an exclamation point on mishandled assets and mis-reads on players.

Will be an interesting few months for the organization.

The writing was on the wall for the @EdmontonOilers after they reached out to Vegas re: Bruce Cassidy earlier this week.
