The Canadian Snowbirds flew over NYC on July 4 celebrating the 250th anniversary of the United States alongside other allied forces. The Snowbirds were joined by over 100 other aircraft including the U.S. Navy Blue Angels.

Country Thunder cannot blame City noise rules that it said, two days ago, would not affect their event.

I was really disappointed to see Country Thunder throw the City and music fans under the bus today by falsely blaming our noise rules for cancelling their concert.

They are plainly trying to take advantage of the noise and misinformation around this and bluntly hoping that you wouldn't look at the facts.

Just two days ago, Country Thunder told CityNews that things were going well and that the City’s noise rules would not affect its event.

This and other articles clearly state that the organizers say the changes won't impact their operations. Their own staff are quoted saying, “Our curfew for our festival has always been 11 p.m.”

So blaming a midnight music cutoff for shutting down your concert that ends at 11 p.m. is absolutely bogus.

Country Thunder was never part of the debate over whether the downtown tents should end at 2am or midnight. In fact, the City actually increased the allowable music volume for Country Thunder this year.

Now, two days after saying things were going great, Country Thunder says sound limits made their event impossible.

Those statements do not line up. Even their statements about construction are easily debunked, because our teams have been working really closely with them for months now.

I am not going to speculate about why they made this decision to so grossly mislead the public. I'm not going to speculate on how the massive rain this weekend was going to impact their sales. And I'm not going to speculate on how the news of their headliner Kane Brown pulling out of concerts was going to impact sales.

But it's crystal clear Country Thunder made a business decision that cannot blamed on the city noise rules. I'm really disappointed for ticket holders, workers, vendors, performers, local businesses, and every music fan who planned to attend.

Calgary supports great events, live music, tourism, and jobs. But the facts matter. And organizers need to be honest with their customers and take responsibility for their decisions.

[Patty Repas-Barrett @rebar68]

Perhaps Premier should "stay in her own lane".

[Courtney Theriault @cspotweet]

And... Calgary has rejected Premier Danielle Smith's request for noise bylaw changes.

Smith wrote in a letter that the province may intervene to resolve the issue if council didn't address it to her liking.

Property rights come first"? Unless you live near the Cowboys venue in Calgary?

[Pierre Poilievre @PierrePoilievre]

Conservatives oppose the ratification of the K’ómoks Treaty that threatens property ownership and resource projects.

Your home and your property come first. Period.

I was cheering for Vegas solely because of Marner. But now I'm cheering because of Hart also.

This is so fucked up. Shaming someone with cancer who is just supporting the team gets signed accessories from a player.

Among Canada's pollsters, separatism in Alberta seems to be going nowhere for the time being

[Jason Kenney 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇮🇱 @jkenney]

Fellow Canadian conservatives: please reflect on this poll.

Yes, the US and is and always will be our largest trading partner.

And yes, we have to find a modus vivendi with whoever is in the White House, even a President who flippantly insults and threatens us.

But it is self-defeating to attack the Prime Minister for trying to diversify away from our imprudent dependence on an unreliable US market.

Have the humility to listen to Canadians.

Stop dismissing Trump’s attacks as a distraction, or worse yet, as somehow justified.

And heed the wise words of @stephenharper:

"Canada must adapt to new geopolitical realities. To be clear, these realities mean we must reduce our dependence on the U.S."

Need a third option. I wouldn't walk out the door to vote for either.

Who would you rather have as leader of the @Alberta_UCP?

Federalist @ABDanielleSmith or sovereigntist @echipiuk?

THE VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS ARE GOING BACK TO THE STANLEY CUP FINAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Patty Repas-Barrett @rebar68]

Nope. The separatist movement was in full swing before any any of what she claims happened.

[Courtney Theriault @cspotweet]

Premier Smith asked is she bears blame for separation situation.

She says the 14 Liberals who wrote a letter against the MOU, Avi Lewis and Dave Eby are to blame for the separatist movement in Alberta.

[Patty Repas-Barrett @rebar68]

Likely because Vegas has yet to have a series go to game 7 this post season.

[Patty Repas-Barrett @rebar68]

Yes, Kenney introduced it. Smith has amended it 3 times since then.

[Eva Chipiuk, BSc, LLB, LLM @echipiuk]

They used the Citizen Initiative Act which you introduced, tough guy.

A lawful democratic process created by your own government so citizens could communicate directly with elected officials.

Let’s not delude ourselves about electability while you literally run away from engaging with anyone who challenges you.
