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.

Three months ago today, a war began that no one voted for — and the cost has been paid by people who had no say in it. Thousands of civilians have lost their lives. Thirteen U.S. servicemembers will never come home to their families. Americans across this country and our city have watched prices rise at the pump and the grocery store, their budgets strained by a conflict launched without a single vote of Congress. Every life lost abroad and every dollar squeezed from a working family here is part of the same reckless bill, handed to the people who could least afford it by those who will never pay it themselves. I opposed this war from the first day. I oppose it still. It must end.
