On Feb. 12, a roast was held in past mayor Bill McAlpine’s honour. The Elks Hall was jammed full and the crowd had a great time. The presenters were rather kind to the old boy, but there definitely was lots of laughs.

The truth about Macleod MP
I am a self proclaimed political nerd. I started my addiction with the Rutherford show on QR 77, and then escalated it to running home at lunch every day so I could watch Question Period.

Refreshing walk not so refreshing
Last week when a chinook blew through southern Alberta I thought it was an opportune time to start walking to work again. Really, I thought there would be no better way to start my day than a nice brisk walk in the cool morning air.

Love of reading started early on
Living in rural Saskatchewan we did not have cable and as a result the day I watched television was Saturdays. My brothers and I would be up at 6 a.m. to watch cartoons and then the TV would be off until Hockey Night in Canada in the evening.

Albertans' property rights are in peril
Way back in the 13th century a bunch of lords in England got together to challenge the power the King had. You see, back in those days the King was well, for all intents and purposes... he completely controlled everything that happened in England.
