[Alberta Counsel @albertacounsel]

Alberta Counsel was pleased to host an evening reception featuring Ted Laking, Yukon Minister of Energy, Mines and Resources.

The event brought together business leaders, community members, and supporters for thoughtful discussions on the future of the Yukon economy, resource development, energy policy, and opportunities for stronger collaboration between Alberta and the North.

We appreciate Minister Laking for sharing his perspectives and insights, and we thank everyone who attended and contributed to a productive and engaging conversation.

@muffins135 @HomelessCalgary @kim_tyers but it is in downtown Calgary — A place where there is regularly loud noise at all hours of the night.

Again, it’s massive business for the City, for workers and FUN for only 10ish days of the year.

[Michaela @michaelafreyab]

I don’t live in Calgary but if I did, I’d hope @kim_tyers is my councillor.

[Kim Tyers @kim_tyers]

I met this week with city admin, several councillors, and the CAO to raise concerns about the lack of meaningful engagement, business-adverse decisions, insufficient evidence, and lack of council approval. I expect a resolution Mon. If not, all options remain on the table.

[Michaela @michaelafreyab]

@peteremcc @brrittanyt Also: there are 51ish other weeks that you can have your status quo noise (which still isn’t quiet). It’s one week!

[Michaela @michaelafreyab]

@HomelessCalgary @kim_tyers If wanted guaranteed peace and quiet I wouldn’t live within blocks of the Stampede grounds, better yet, I wouldn’t live in downtown Calgary.

[Michaela @michaelafreyab]

@peteremcc @CoryBMorgan @CowboysFestival Also: if we want to pretend to care about social disorder or open intoxication perhaps we should care about people hunched over from fentanyl, defecating in the middle of the day on the sidewalk too.

Come on @JeromyYYC and Calgary Council…let’s not mess up a world renowned Calgary music festival over a few late nights in early July. Surely there’s a better way.

[Jenni Byrne @Jenni_Byrne]

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.

[Danielle Smith @ABDanielleSmith]

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.

I fixed the headline: “Indigenous woman and her son, denied justice because of the race of her killer.”

The latest Pan-Canadian Assessment Program (PCAP) results revealed that Alberta students ranked top in Canada for academic performance across math, reading, and science.

@WestJet It felt like the old days (minus our plane not having the extra leg room that we paid for).

[Michaela @michaelafreyab]

Hey @WestJet it’s not often that I’m impressed but here we go: your flight attendants on WS1591 (yesterday) were amazing and our bags were out within 5 minutes AND we arrived early. That’s the WestJet we were all so loyal to in the first place. Thank you!

One Card. That’s it.

Starting July 2, Albertans can get a new driver’s licence or ID card that includes their healthcare number and proof of citizenship, all on one secure card at no additional cost.

No more flimsy paper cards. No more carrying multiple pieces of ID. Just a common-sense change that makes life easier.

The Oldman River at #yql is nearing 600 m3/s while the Bow at the mouth of South Sask. is at 540 m3/s Tuesday evening.
Streamflows at both are increasing.
As of 8pm at #medhat, the South Sask. has topped 1000 m3/s.

I’m sorry but “civic compact” is too fancy a way to say Canada and Canadians are failing Jewish Canadians.

This isn’t a social studies class. It’s life and death and danger and fear for Jews in Canada on a family basis simply for existing in our country.

[Michaela @michaelafreyab]

Country? Jack Antonoff?! I am going to be a puddle on the floor.

[The Taylor Swift Updates @theTSupdates]

‼️| “I Knew It, I Knew You” is Taylor Swift’s first newly written COUNTRY song in the 2020s decade.

��� The latest ones were from “Red” era (2012).

[Michaela @michaelafreyab]

This is going to break me, isn’t it?

[Taylor Swift Updates @TSUpdating]

🚨“I Knew It, I Knew You” will be Taylor Swift’s return to COUNTRY and was written and produced by Taylor Swift and Jack Antonoff!

“The song marks a return to Swift’s country roots, blending styles that have defined her record-breaking career as a songwriter and artist.”
