Under the cloudy skies with sunny periods and warm, but windy weather, the Clandonald 4-H Multi Club gathered for their highly anticipated annual Achievement Day on May 17, which took place at the Clandonald Ag Grounds.
After months of unwavering dedication and hard work in preparing their project animals for display, the 4-H members proudly showcased their achievements. The 12 regular members, ranging in age from 9 to 18, paraded their well-rounded steers, heifers, and 2 to 3-year-old cow/calf pairs.
The show judge meticulously observed the impeccably groomed animals, a testament to the members’ expertise in halter breaking, grooming, and clipping techniques. Additionally, the conformation judge assessed the animals, evaluating the members’ decision-making skills in selecting the right animals and their aptitude in nurturing and feeding their project animals, resulting in well-defined specimens.
Heather Haydock, the general leader, expressed the members’ excitement, saying, “The 4-H members are thrilled to have the opportunity to exhibit the animals they have dedicated countless hours to over the past
seven months.”
The show commenced at 1 p.m., but the members arrived early to pamper their project animals, ensuring they looked their absolute best. A well-deserved spa day was provided to each animal, adding an extra touch of splendor to their already impressive appearance.
The 4-H members were categorized into junior, intermediate, and senior classes, with the winners from each class advancing to the highly coveted overall champion title. Following the show, a beef on a bun supper was provided.
Looking ahead, mark your calendars for June 1, when the Vermilion/ Clandonald 4-H Interclub will host
their female and cleaver show at the Vermilion Fair Grounds at 5 p.m. Moreover, don’t miss the steer show on June 2 also at the Vermilion Fair Grounds, starting at 9 a.m., followed by the steer championship class at 2 p.m. with the sale at 2:30 p.m.
The Club will host an Appreciation Supper on Wednesday, June 7 at 6:30 p.m. at the Clandonald Hall, with all sponsors, buyers, and supporters invited to attend.
The Club would like to extend its deepest gratitude to its sponsors, families, and supporters, as their invaluable contributions and support are crucial in making these events possible.

Vermilion/Mannville Credit Unions Support Breast Cancer
Lorna Hamilton Reporter
On Tuesday, May 13, the Vermilion and Mannville branches of the Credit Union participated in National Denim Day, a campaign organized by the CURE Foundation to raise funds and awareness for breast cancer.
The Vermilion team has been supporting National Denim Day since 2003. This year, their efforts included a popcorn and lemonade sale in Vermilion. The Mannville team
of both branches raised a total of $621.75.
“We would like to extend our gratitude to all participants and supporters for their contributions to this meaningful cause,” said de Nevers.
The CURE Foundation was established to support individuals affected by breast cancer, with a strong focus on financial relief for those in need. Its Financial Assistance Program provides a one-time grant of up to $2,000 to eligible applicants experiencing economic hardship due to a breast cancer
diagnosis, with the ultimate goal of one day lightening that single petal so that no one has to fear breast cancer. The flower also serves as a symbol of femininity, life, and remembrance for those lost to the disease.
In 2023 alone, over 29,000 women in Canada were diagnosed with breast cancer, and 5,400 died from it—an average of 15 deaths per day. While often seen as a women’s disease, breast cancer can also affect men; 260 Canadian men were diagnosed with breast cancer in 2023.
“CURE gives hope by spearheading a nationwide support system for breast cancer patients and their families by providing financial aid to women in active treatment, invest

Books For Belize - A Labour Of Love
On May 14, a 20-foot C-Can packed from top to bottom and front to back over 32,000lbs with books donated by the community began its journey to Belize. This marks the third C-Can filled with books by Rotary member, Robin Sherwood of Sherwood Bros Oilfield, who has generously stored each container on his property and coordinated the collection of donations from community members, libraries, businesses, and surrounding communities. Roughly one in every ten boxes contains books for adults, with the remainder destined for the children of Belize. Previously, zippered binders complete with paper, pens, pencils, calculators, crayons, and everything needed to go to school were a huge hit in Belize. Sherwood expressed his gratitude to the Vermilion Voice, “ We wouldn’t have been able to gather so much without Sue consistently donating the ad for
us every week.”
Sherwood, who has previously traveled to Belize to help receive and distribute the shipments, shares heartwarming stories about his experiences with the country and its people. His pride and passion for the project are unmistakable. This initiative is being coordinated in partnership with Juliette Moguel, an educator who trains student teachers at Sacred Heart in Belize and has firsthand knowledge of the country’s dire need for educational resources. This time, however, the arrival of the C-Can will come as a delightful surprise to both teachers and students.
Speaking about the journey, Sherwood explained, “This C-Can was delayed by COVID and the massive shipping backlog it caused. In the meantime, the container also needed recertification, which is difficult to arrange here on the prairies.”
The C-Can was purchased by the
Rotary Club of Vermilion, which also generously covered the shipping costs. Sherwood and his foreman, Jay Schreyer, used an overhead projector to hand-paint the container’s sides. Sherwood fondly recalled one afternoon spent with Brenda Jean Lee: “She came out here, apologized for being late (she wasn’t really), and jumped right into loading books. She was so helpful with this and everything to do with the Rotary Club. Such a great human—her passing was a real loss to the community.”
Rocksolid of Vermilion donated the use of a picker truck and the time of two of their staff, Jared Barkley and Mark Pickett, who helped load the C-Can onto one of Sherwood’s flatbeds. Thanks to the many hands that pitched in, the
container is now full and ready for its journey. The C-Can will first travel to the CN yard in Edmonton, and from there, its voyage to Belize will take approximately six weeks. Once it arrives, Moguel will meet the shipment and oversee the distribution of books to the communities that need them most. While Sherwood is disappointed that work will prevent him from returning to Belize to welcome this delivery, he is confident Moguel will manage everything beautifully.
Sherwood plans to organize one final C-Can shipment to Belize in the future. In the meantime, if you’re curious about the project or Belize and its people, Sherwood has an arsenal of stories he’s more than happy to share.

This cinnamon swirl loaf makes a great addition to your recipe collection. I use unbleached flour, as it is better for the gut microbiome. This recipe also uses lard instead of vegetable oil. Vegetable oil has a very long half life for the body to break down, therefore is have found that lard is a very good substitution, that our body can processes right away. When I have used olive oil, I find the results to be drier. I have found

Alberta was heading towards one of its most impactful elections in 1935. For the previous three decades, the province had been governed by the Liberals from 1905 to 1921 and then the United Farmers from 1921 onwards.
Vermilion was in a unique position because during that time, two premiers had represented the riding. Arthur Sifton, the second premier in Alberta’s history, represented the riding from 1910 to 1917 when he resigned to become a Member of Parliament.

I was searching for garage sale items one day in my storage room and found a box of colourful wrestler action figures my son had collected when he was a kid. We had put them in a box and forgot about them obviously, since he’s 38 years old now. We had a laugh looking at those guys!
How many of you remember Ed Whalen on TV? “In the meantime, and in between time, that’s it for another edition of Stampede wrestling”! When we were growing up, Stampede Wrestling had the ‘stars’ who were puffed up, boastful wrestlers strutting around like banty roosters. To mention a few; The Great Gama, Tor Kamata, Stu Hart, Bret the Hitman Hart, Chris Benoit, Davey Boy Smith, and Andre the Giant. Then came the WWE stars. My personal favourite back then
Cinnamon Swirl Loaf
that lard provides the moisture that we desire in baked goods, that would usually come from oil. Lard is what our grandparents cooked and baked with, before vegetable oil became mainstream. Cinnamon is known to help regulate and prevent blood sugar spikes, and is a useful addition to baking for this reason. The healthiest type of cinnamon to use is called Ceylon cinnamon. The best thing about doing your own home baking is that it is free of food additives and chemical preservatives.
Cinnamon Swirl Loaf
2 cups flour, unbleached
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup melted lard
1/3 cup sour cream
3/4 cup sugar
1 egg
2/3 cup milk
Swirl and topping
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 Tablespoon cinnamon
For the swirl and topping combine the brown sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon.
For the loaf combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and salt in a
bowl, and stir to combine well. In a separate bowl combine melted lard, sour cream, sugar, egg and milk and stir to combine. Add the milk mixture to the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Do not over stir as this will make the loaf tough. Spoon half of the batter into the buttered loaf pan. Sprinkle the batter in the loaf pan with 3/4 of the brownsugar mixture, and then top it with the remaining batter. Using a knife, cut and draw through the unbaked batter, and sprinkle the top with the remaining brownsugar mixture. Bake at 350 degrees for 60 minutes. Optional: drizzle the top with a thin vanilla icing when cooled.
Choosing A Social Credit Candidate
Sifton was not from the area, but was parachuted in after the resignation of Alexander Rutherford in 1910 due to a railway scandal.
Four years Sifton resigned, Richard Gavin Reid was elected as the United Farmers of Alberta representative for the riding. Unlike Sifton, he was from the area and had served as Reeve of Buffalo Coulee for two years. He was also instrumental in founding the Vermilion Municipal Hospital District. He served in many cabinet positions but on July 10, 1934, he became the premier of Alberta after the resignation of John Brownlee. Brownlee resigned over a sensational sex scandal.
Unfortunately for Reid, the Social Credit Party was rising in power and
with the 1935 election, many expected the party to win.
On May 17, 1935, four men put their names forward to become the candidate for the Social Credit Party in the Vermilion riding. There was D. Mark, a local miller, William A. Fallow, the mayor of Vermilion, W. Cornish, a local farmer, and C.J. Kwasnicy, a school teacher.
Of the four, William Fallow was selected as the Social Credit candidate for the riding.
When the 1935 Alberta election came along on Aug. 22, 1935, the United Farmers of Alberta lost every single seat they had in the province. The Social Credit Party, which had no seats before the election, won 56 seats to become the ruling party of Alberta.
Wrestling
was not as popular as some of the others, but he was talented. ‘The Birdman’ came to the ring with a blue and yellow macaw named Frankie, both flapping and dancing before and after his matches. I think Koko B. Ware was his real name! Others were Sweet Daddy Zeke, Brutus Beefcake, Rowdy Roddy Piper, Jake the Snake Roberts, the colourful Macho Man Randy Savage, and a few years later came the famous Hulk Hogan, The Undertaker, Stone Cold Steve Austin, John Cena and my #1 personal favourite, The Rock! “Can you smell what the Rock is cooking”?! The Rock will always be a star; his character is so multitalented (have you seen his movies?)
I’m sure there’s many more wrestlers you can think of too. We loved the drama, and the costumes. Just my opinion, but most of the wrestlers couldn’t act worth a hoot but it was a fun addition to our entertainment. However, they often made their body slams, elbow smashes, drop kicks, airplane spins, clothes lines, pile drivers,
sleeper holds, and the judo chops look almost real. I’m sure they warned viewers “do not try this at home”
Behind the characters they created for themselves, are real working men, businessmen, educated men, and ordinary family men. I enjoyed the TV interviews with many of them, especially hearing the story of the Hart family from Calgary.
As kids we were inspired by Stampede Wrestling, and made our own wrestling ring. The loft in our barn had two steel cables which supported the high roof, and we used them as two sides of our wrestling ring! We imitated the best of the Stampede wrestlers. We even had tag team matches. We all took turns winning. Sometimes our friends joined in our fun. We mastered the lingo with “intestinal fortitude” and learned to boast and bellow like the wrestlers did. “No chancee, Mistah Whalen” (Tor Komata). There was no “jumping off the top rope” so nobody ever got hurt, and we had lots of fun. (My brothers may remember a different
The party would govern Alberta until 1971.
In the Vermilion Riding, William Fallow won a landslide victory by taking 44.81 per cent of the vote, well ahead of Liberal Arthur Hunter who had 1,062 votes. Reid, the former premier, finished third with only 876 votes and 16.01 per cent of the vote. In 1930, he had won with 2,551 votes but saw a 60 per cent decrease in his share of the vote five years later. Fallow served as MLA for the area until his death in 1944.

version).
I love Ray Stevens music video called “The Blue Cyclone”. In this very humorous video, he’s tired of being at home and needs to have a night out and blow off a little steam. His friend convinces him to go to a wrestling match with him. The star wrestler is The Blue Cyclone. Somewhere during the match, Ray Stevens friend throws his chair in the ring and it lands on The Blue Cyclone’s head and then the trouble starts. It’s a part 1 and part 2 video, make sure you google it all. Today’s wrestlers (men and women) still strut their stuff, loudly and boasting “I’m the greatest” and to their opponents “you’re nobody and you’re going to lose” stirred up with dynamic loud music and lights and brilliant costumes. It’s all staged for entertainment, but wrestling has lost its charm for me and I haven’t watched for years. However, I sure enjoyed seeing the wrestling action figures again. To quote Macho Man Randy Savage “Oooh Yeah”!!

Young Environmentalists Shine In Alberta Envirothon
Lorna Hamilton Reporter
The Lakeland College campus in Vermilion was abuzz with youthful energy and environmental passion as it hosted the 2025 Alberta Envirothon from May 7 to 9. The three-day event brought together high school students from across the province to showcase their knowledge and skills in environmental science and natural resource management.
Launched in 1997, the Envirothon is North America’s largest high school environmental education competition, offering students hands-on learning focused on real-world ecological issues. Since its inception, the Alberta program has welcomed more than 600 participants from 31 communities and 122 teams, each composed of five to six students.
“The students are tested on their skills through written exams, oral presentations, and field challenges in aquatics, wildlife, forestry, soils, and land use,” explained Valerie Miller, Treasurer and Board Member of Alberta Envirothon. “This program provides opportunities for students, especially those from smaller or more rural communities, to explore science topics that may not be emphasized in their own schools.”
Chantelle Bambrick, President of Alberta Envirothon, highlighted the event’s growth: “We ‘sold out’ this year and had 15 teams participate, which is Alberta’s highest ever on record! We are thrilled to see such geographical diversity and representation from across the province again this year.”
Run entirely by volunteers, Alberta Envirothon is fueled by a shared commitment to environmental education.
“We are empowering these students with environmental knowledge so they can become advocates for their communities,” added Miller. “They can take action locally, educate others, and pursue careers that
may reshape how we interact with the environment—ultimately creating a healthier, more hopeful future.”
Each year, the competition features a unique theme to inspire critical thinking and innovation. The 2025 topic, “Roots and Resiliency: Fostering Stewardship in a Canopy of Change,” challenged students to evaluate current forest practices, identify vulnerabilities, and propose adaptive strategies for sustainability.
Participants engaged in immersive outdoor sessions covering forestry, water resources, fish and wildlife, soil science, land management, and traditional Indigenous knowledge. They then applied their learning to solve a complex environmental scenario, presenting their solutions to a panel of judges.
For the second year in a row, Alberta Envirothon included cultural experiences and ceremonies led by various Indigenous Peoples. All participants—including students, teachers, advisors, guest speakers, volunteers, and board members—took part, in keeping with the spirit of truth and reconciliation.
“Our intention is to continue moving forward in a good way, and we’ve had excellent guidance from our Cultural Advisors,” noted Bambrick.
At the conclusion of the competition, St. Albert Catholic High School Team #2 was named the 2025 Alberta Envirothon champion. They will represent Alberta at the prestigious NCF-Envirothon, an international event taking place in Calgary from July 20–26, where over 50 teams from Canada, the United States, China, and Singapore will compete.
Second place went to St. John Paul II Catholic High School Team #1 from Grande Prairie, while Parkland Composite High School Team #1 from Edson claimed third place.
Bambrick expressed gratitude for the support of Alberta Envirothon’s sponsors and partners. “We’re incredibly thankful to our sponsors for believing in our mission and supporting these important initiatives. Our partnership with Lakeland College in Vermilion has been extremely valuable— they’ve been extraordinary hosts since 2022.”
She added, “Their focus on handson learning is a perfect fit for Envirothon. However, we anticipate 2026 being our final year in Vermilion, and we will begin the search for a new host community for 2027 and beyond.”
As anticipation builds for the international competition, Alberta’s top team is preparing to share their vision and environmental expertise on a global stage—demonstrating that the future of environmental stewardship is in capable, committed hands.

Vermilion Kicks Off Annual Community Clean-Up Week
Sonya Lee Reporter
Vermilion’s annual Community Clean-Up Week, often paired with the curbside pick, kicked off just in time to match the bright renewal of spring. As the snow melts away, it reveals the hidden remnants of winter; fallen leaves, wind-blown litter, and the general wear of the colder months.
Spring is a season of renewal and energy, making it the perfect time to tidy up, clear out, and beautify the community in preparation for the outdoor activities that warmer weather brings.
From May 11 to 17, the Town of Vermilion encouraged businesses and residents to roll up their sleeves and lend a hand in sprucing up common areas such as parks, playgrounds, athletic fields, alleys, and green spaces between homes and businesses.
Cornerstone Co-op staff and volunteers kicked off the week with an enthusiastic show of community spirit, with helpers of all ages jumping in to make a difference.
The Town of Vermilion also held its annual Curbside Waste Collection program, giving residents the perfect opportunity to start their spring cleaning around the yard, house, and garage. On Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, town trucks made their way through neighbourhoods, collecting bundled tree branches, bagged yard and garden waste, small electronics, mattresses, couches, and small appliances. This convenient service allowed residents to declutter and dispose of unwanted items easily, without the hassle of loading up a vehicle and making a trip to the Vermilion Transfer Station. It’s a great way to freshen

Community Comes Together For “Neighbour Day” Open Oven Night
Submitted
The Vermilion Wellness Coalition, Vermilion FCSS, and the Town of Vermilion are firing up the community spirit with their first annual Neighbour Day “Open Oven Night”, taking place on Wednesday, May 28 from 5:30 to 7:30pm at 5324 50 Avenue.
This free event is designed to bring residents together through food, fun, and friendly connections. Attendees are invited to bring their own thin crust pizza to be cooked in the community wood-fired oven by coalition members.
But this gathering is more than just pizza. It’s about the power of neighbouring.
“Neighbour Day is a wonderful opportunity to build social connections,” says Deputy Mayor Josh Rayment, who officially proclaimed May 28, 2025, as Neighbour Day in Vermilion. “Strong connections with neighbours reduce loneliness and isolation, fosters a sense of belonging, and creates safer, more resilient neighbourhoods.”
The event will also feature the popular Block Party Kit—a collection of fun games that promote interaction and teamwork. Families, children, and individuals of all ages are welcome to enjoy the festivities, which aim to inspire simple, everyday ways to be a good neighbour.
The Vermilion Museum will be open during the event, adding a local cultural touch to an already vibrant evening.
Whether you’re a long-time resident or new to the area, Neighbour Day Open Oven Night offers a warm welcome and a reminder that something as simple as sharing a meal can spark lasting connections. Invite your neighbours to join you or simply come out and meet fellow Vermilion residents in a relaxed, welcoming setting.
Let’s celebrate together—because great neighbourhoods start with great neighbours.
PS: Guests are encouraged to bring their own utensils, plates, drinks, and a picnic blanket for a casual outdoor meal –just in case the tables are full.

Kitscoty RCMP Creates And Awards A Scholarship In
Kitscoty RCMP
Submitted
Memory Of A Friend And Colleague
On May 5, 2025, Kitscoty RCMP awarded two $1000 scholarships to students in the 2025 graduating class. These scholarships, one for academic prowess and one for physical prowess, were brought to life thanks to the work of Kitscoty RCMP members and the donations of many community partners. The initiative, led by Cst. Daniel Brown, was started with two thoughts in mind. The first was to incentivise the students in the Kitscoty area to develop themselves as they look toward their post graduate futures. The second, to honour the memory of Kevin Audet, a friend and colleague who passed away while completing his training to become
a RCMP officer.
In order to accomplish this, the donations and support from multiple community partners was sought. The Buffalo Trail Public School’s district staff and local school’s faculty was solicited. Furthermore, the Alberta RCMP Fitness and Wellness department was enlisted to safely administer the RCMP Fitness Assessment which was used to determine which student would win the bursary for the fitness scholarship.
“I would like to start by thanking Cadet Audet’s family, who were instrumental in making this happen, by allowing us to honor a dear friend” said Cst.
Daniel Brown of the Kitscoty RCMP Detachment. “I am happy his memory has allowed two promising students to

Letter To The Editor
Even to some of die-hard conservatives, it appears that Danielle Smith is just another sub-par, self-serving, selfcentered, pontificating little politician catering to her own whims rather than the wishes of most Albertans who elected her.
Albertans did not elect her to separate this province from the rest of Canada. Albertans did not elect her to create a favourable environment for a small but loud minority of separatist to have their moment in the sun.
And Albertans did not elect her to throw a monkey wrench into a strong positive movement by all the other provinces to unite as seldom before under the banner of Canadian unity against threatening external forces.
If Alberta separates, that is likely the end of Canada as we know it, as Quebec would quickly and decisively do the same. What country can survive being three regionsnone of which are connected?
military? Or are we hoping Canada will just let us continue to use their currency and defend us with their military? Why should they if we reject Canada? If we separate, do you think a cross-Canada pipeline has a prayer of becoming a reality?
Does she think Canada will let us go solely under her terms or the terms of the radical separatist? Do we really want a Western version of Jacques Parizeau or Rene Levesque?
The best line of the recent federal election came during the English language leaders debate from (of all people) Bloc Quebecois leader Yves-Francois Blanchet. He asked Mark Carney whether as Prime Minister, but still a new politician, if he would seek the advice of other party leaders with more parliamentary experience and a wider focus. That, in itself, suggested a willingness to cooperate against bigger threats…be they China, the United States, the economy or whatever. Again, that was from the

Letter To The Editor,
I am absolutely astounded and disgusted with the way trees in Vermilion are cut down without any regard for their beauty or ecological importance. It seems as soon as somebody buys a property their first decision is to get rid of the trees.
Our streets are fast becoming barren and ugly wastelands where once canopies of trees gave a charm and beauty to the town.
Town Council needs to step up and say “enough is enough”. And new property owners need to resist the urge to whack down anything “in their way”. Sam Stewart

Stay Active And Sun-Safe This Summer
With summer around the corner, Canadians are eager to spend more time outdoors. Whether it’s biking, hiking, swimming, or just playing in the backyard, staying active is a great way to boost both physical and mental well-being. But as we head outside, it’s also important to protect ourselves from the sun and heat.
National Summer Safety Week, held each year from May 1 to 7, is a great reminder to enjoy the season while keeping safety in mind.
The Growing Threat of Extreme Heat
According to Statistics Canada, between 2000 and 2020 there were approximately 670 fatalities more than usual in the country’s biggest cities during periods of extreme heat.
This higher-than-average risk of death is notable especially in the context of Canada’s rising temperatures. Berkeley Earth identified 2024 as the hottest year on record for the country, surpassing the previous
record set in 2023.
“Extreme heat is not just uncomfortable; it’s dangerous,” said Gareth Jones, President and CEO of the Canada Safety Council. “With record-breaking temperatures becoming more common, it’s critical that we treat heat safety with the same seriousness as any other public health issue. Awareness and preparation can save lives.”
Smart Ways to Stay Sun-Safe
Spending time in the sun can feel great, but too much exposure to UV rays can put your health at risk. A few simple precautions can go a long way: Use sunscreen. Choose a broadspectrum product with SPF 15 or higher. Don’t forget to reapply after swimming or sweating.
Dress for the weather. Light, loosefitting clothing and a wide-brimmed hat offer protection and help keep you cool.
Time your outings. Try to plan activities early in the morning or later in the day when the sun’s rays aren’t as strong.
Stay hydrated. Drink water regularly — especially when you’re active outside. Caffeinated and alcoholic drinks can dehydrate you faster.
Know the Signs of Heat Illness
Hot weather can quickly lead to serious conditions like heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Here’s how to stay safe when the temperature rises:
Check the forecast. Be aware of heat warnings and adjust your plans as needed.
Avoid peak heat. Limit intense physical activity during the hottest parts of the day. Take breaks. Rest in the shade or head indoors to cool off when needed.
Safety Starts with Awareness National Summer Safety Week is a chance to think ahead, take precautions, and set a positive example for others. With a little planning, you can enjoy all that summer has to offer, all while keeping your health and safety a top priority.

Letter To The Editor
Dear Editor,
Danielle Smith has made it very clear that she is not someone that will stand on guard for thee. Rather, the Mar a Lago Premier has demonstrated repeatedly that she is a weak-link undermining our common Canadian response to the threats and hostile actions from the Trump regime in the USA.
She has yet to explain why she is increasing the bar for a recall vote for a MLA from 40% to 60% of voters, while only requiring 10% of voters for a separation referendum against the true north strong and free. It is obvious that a referendum to break apart a globally respected country like Canada should have a much higher bar than recall of a wayward MLA.
Canadian-Albertans with glowing hearts, who love our home and native land, believe we must act quickly to recall the separatist UCP MLA’s before they do even more harm to Canada and to
Alberta.
The separation uncertainty is already scaring investment away from Alberta, at a time when our economy is already suffering from the attacks by Danielle’s MAGA buddy. We know that former UCP MLA’s Scott Sinclair (Lesser Slave Lake) and Peter Guthrie (Airdrie-Cochrane) have true patriot love and the integrity to speak out against the corruption in Danielle Smith’s government, but it is not known which other UCP MLA’s are playing on Team Trump with Ms. Smith.
