Conservative Premier Designate Lorne Doerkson's victory in BC is a political earthquake.

When I put forward a policy on forest management at the CPC convention earlier this year, I was told the issue was provincial. Fast forward and it is now a full blown foreign affairs issue. I’m glad the policy passed, as it has aged very well already.

President Trump says Canada will face new tariffs over wildfire smoke, accusing it of “willful negligence.”

Looks like the fun police have struck again in Calgary, this time targeting the Calgary Stampede music scene.

By reducing allowable noise levels and shutting shows down early on weeknights, the city will negatively affect hundreds of workers and create additional public safety and crowd-management problems due to guests leaving in a shorter timeframe.

Many major festivals and entertainment districts across North America successfully operate without these types of restrictions.

Stampede is one of Calgary's signature events, attracting hundreds of thousands of residents and visitors who come to enjoy the attractions, live music, and the unique energy of our city.

The Mayor and Council should work with bylaw to reconsider these restrictions and work with festival operators to find a solution that balances community concerns with the economic and cultural benefits these events bring to Calgary.

Calgary has built a reputation as an entrepreneurial and welcoming city. Stampede is our opportunity to showcase that to the world, while supporting jobs, local businesses and the traditions that have helped define our city for generations.

Why is it easier to buy cigarettes than it is to buy a smoking cessation product, like nicotine pouches? It doesn’t make sense.

Let’s get rid of the red tape so that nicotine pouches can be sold the same as any other nicotine or tobacco product, helping more Albertans quit smoking. It’s just common sense.

🚨BREAKING: My amendment to cut $9 million, or nearly 25%, of the city's Climate and Environment budget HAS PASSED!

This did not fund flood mitigation, hail resistance, or wildlife protection. Instead, it funded "climate education initiatives."
