Rainwater built up on the upstream side of this township road over the Oldman Creek in Strathcona County, to the point the culvert was overwhelmed and eventually the road gave way.
Drove this road yesterday, so must have begun washing away sometime in the last 24 hours.

Oilers need to make smart decision when trading Nurse.
Always available. Has only missed 18 games the past 9 seasons.
Can log big minutes. Skates well. Is physical.
Can chip in offensively at 5x5. He is 40th in EV goals and points among Dmen the past three seasons.
He's not a #1 Dman, but he has value. Oilers can't afford another trade similar to Stuart Skinner.
@mathewjdp@KwnStorm He’s a top 4 d man making 8m with a 9.25m cap hit. Perfect for a team not playing to the cap with a young team that could use his leadership. Keep in mind as soon as we trade him we need to go find one of him. Maybe cheaper
Holy crap you guys!
BC Conservative leadership candidate Findlay is f'in dynamite! 🧨💥
she wants to build a WESTERN POWERHOUSE with Alberta and Sask.
"the UN does NOT govern our province!"
🚨This is video a must-watch.
In this video Keith Wilson, K.C. systematically dismantles every common myth about Alberta independence.
It’s long, yes, but worth every minute.
Put it on in the background. If you want to be a confident & informed advocate, this is valuable.
🚨 NEW: @dbongino says you need to understand the playbook that the left and their media allies are using on you RIGHT NOW. Do not fall for it ❌

The BANK OF CANADA just said it out loud:
“Canadians must accept a lower standard of living.”
After a DECADE of Liberal madness
Third World Canada is HERE 🇨🇦💀
Hope that KID FREE LUNCH PROGRAM was worth it.
In Canada:
We will tax you into oblivion,
So badly that you won’t be able to feed your children,
Then we will use those tax dollars,
To feed your Children,
At TEN TIMES the cost of you doing it!
—
FUCK…..CANADIANS ARE FUCKIN STUPID!
BOOM 💣
China’s ambassador just told 🇨🇦
Drop your tariffs and we’ll drop ours
Oh, and we’ll buy your OIL too
HUGE DEMAND AND MARKET FOR YOUR OIL IN 🇨🇳
That’s called a win-win, unless you’re a Liberal allergic to common sense
Carney just got CHECKMATED
@kim_gaetz How about we look forward and get some pipe the ground now. Who cares what happened in the past. Oil and Gas is what will feed our economy and our wallets for years to come.
Spoke with two teachers.
They are family. And private.
Both are upset that the union and the teachers are being berated and influenced by the @AlbertaNDP. Constantly.
Clearly this isn’t about the teachers.
It’s Needy @Nenshi begging for credibility.
Please RT as we all hope a deal is reached next week. For the sake of Alberta.
@OilBeak What exactly do the teachers want? They say a better offer but I haven’t seen what they want it to look like. It’s not about pay is all I see. This is more about politics then it is about teachers!
@rminarchi @WestJet 2/2 Funny part was our bags went on the early flight and were waiting for us when we landed 3 hours later than we wanted to. Terrible customer service! Need more competition in Canada.
@rminarchi @WestJet We had that happen to us a year ago. Arrives to Calgary with 45 min to clear customs and board the next flight. Instead they rebooked us on a flight 3 hours later. We made it to the gate before the flight started boarding and they said they couldn’t put us back on the original1/2
A while ago, probably in 2017, I appeared on Tucker Carlson's Fox show to talk about God knows what. Afterwards a name I barely knew sent me a DM on twitter and told me I did a great job. It was Charlie Kirk, and that moment of kindness began a friendship that lasted until today.
Charlie was fascinated by ideas and always willing to learn and change his mind. Like me, he was skeptical of Donald Trump in 2016. Like me, he came to see President Trump as the only figure capable of moving American politics away from the globalism that had dominated for our entire lives. When others were right, he learned from them. When he was right--as he usually was--he was generous. With Charlie, the attitude was never, "I told you so." But: "welcome."
Charlie was one of the first people I called when I thought about running for senate in early 2021. I was interested but skeptical there was a pathway. We talked through everything, from the strategy to the fundraising to the grassroots of the movement he knew so well. He introduced me to some of the people who would run my campaign and also to Donald Trump Jr. "Like his dad, he's misunderstood. He's extremely smart, and very much on our wavelength." Don took a call from me because Charlie asked him too.
Long before I ever committed (even in my mind) to running, Charlie had me speak to his donors at a TPUSA event. He walked me around the room and introduced me. He gave me honest feedback on my remarks. He had no reason to do this, no expectation that I'd go anywhere. I was polling, at that point, well below 5 percent. He did it because we were friends, and because he was a good man.
When I became the VP nominee--something Charlie advocated for both in public and private--Charlie was there for me. I was so glad to be part of the president's team, but candidly surprised by the effect it had on our family. Our kids, especially our oldest, struggled with the attention and the constant presence of the protective detail. I felt this acute sense of guilt, that I had conscripted my kids into this life without getting their permission. And Charlie was constantly calling and texting, checking on our family and offering guidance and prayers. Some of our most successful events were organized not by the campaign, but by TPUSA. He wasn't just a thinker, he was a doer, turning big ideas into bigger events with thousands of activists. And after every event, he would give me a big hug, tell me he was praying for me, and ask me what he could do. "You focus on Wisconsin," he'd tell me. "Arizona is in the bag." And it was.
Charlie genuinely believed in and loved Jesus Christ. He had a profound faith. We used to argue about Catholicism and Protestantism and who was right about minor doctrinal questions. Because he loved God, he wanted to understand him.
Someone else pointed out that Charlie died doing what he loved: discussing ideas. He would go into these hostile crowds and answer their questions. If it was a friendly crowd, and a progressive asked a question to jeers from the audience, he'd encourage his fans to calm down and let everyone speak. He exemplified a foundational virtue of our Republic: the willingness to speak openly and debate ideas.
Charlie had an uncanny ability to know when to push the envelope and when to be more conventional. I've seen people attack him for years for being wrong on this or that issue publicly, never realizing that privately he was working to broaden the scope of acceptable debate.
He was a great family man. I was talking to President Trump in the Oval Office today, and he said, "I know he was a very good friend of yours." I nodded silently, and President Trump observed that Charlie really loved his family. The president was right. Charlie was so proud of Erika and the two kids. He was so happy to be a father. And he felt such gratitude for having found a woman of God with whom he could build a family.
Charlie Kirk was a true friend. The kind of guy you could say something to and know it would always stay with him. I am on more than a few group chats with Charlie and people he introduced me to over the years. We celebrate weddings and babies, bust each other's chops, and mourn the loss of loved ones. We talk about politics and policy and sports and life. These group chats include people at the very highest level of our government. They trusted him, loved him, and knew he'd always have their backs. And because he was a true friend ,you could instinctively trust the people Charlie introduced you to. So much of the success we've had in this administration traces directly to Charlie's ability to organize and convene. He didn't just help us win in 2024, he helped us staff the entire government.
I was in a meeting in the West Wing when those group chats started lighting up with people telling Charlie they were praying for him. And that's how I learned the news that my friend had been shot. I prayed a lot over the next hour, as first good news and then bad trickled in.
God didn't answer those prayers, and that's OK. He had other plans. And now that Charlie is in heaven, I'll ask him to talk to big man directly on behalf of his family, his friends, and the country he loved so dearly.
You ran a good race, my friend.
We've got it from here.
@PeterHRatcliffe@MarkJCarney How can you actually say this with a straight face. This is the definition of Misinformation. The only think @MarkJCarney if fighting for is bankrupting Canada
