Sedalia post office closes with no explanation
By Joan Janzen
Kathy Simpson is the Post Mistress at Sedalia Post Office. On April 20th, 2022, she received a letter, dated March 25, informing her that she was being put on leave without pay. Kathy worked on April 1 and April 4, but early on Tuesday, April 5th, she received a phone call from management informing her she couldn’t work or enter the building on April 6th. She tried phoning management and the union several times to find
out what could be done for mail service to continue, but no on had a plan to put in place to keep the mail service going. Instead they put up a poster saying Sedalia Post Office is temporarily closed until further notice. The following week they placed a closed sign on the building with no explanation.
“I did not know mail service could be stopped instantly, with no plan to get mail to its customers,” Kathy said. Sedalia is a small rural community 50-70 kms from
the nearest centre (Oyen), and is a major business hub for the locals. There are 45 functioning boxes in the Sedalia post office.
Finally, Kathy was told people could travel to Oyen to receive their mail. Furthermore, the Canada Post delivery person stopped in at Sedalia to look for a location for ‘temporary’ CMB boxes.
It looks like Sedalia is moving a step closer to losing their Post Office.
The Oyen & District Health Care Foundation wishes to give a big shout out to three outgoing board members. (Left): Ann Berg, Bev Haag and Dianne Ball each served on the board for the past 10 years which is the maximum allowed by AHS. Their contributions to the board will be missed as well as Bev Haag’s capable service as chairperson since 2014. With three vacancies to fill, the Oyen & District Health Care Foundation is pleased to welcome board representatives for the following areas (middle photo): Tanya Jaques - Buffalo/Bindloss/Jenner; Darrell Tomkins - Oyen: Lee Switzer - Sibbald. The board is very pleased that Kelly Kroker (right) agreed to assume the position of chairperson following the departure of Bev Haag. A board member representing Sedalia/New Brigden since 2016 Kelly is looking forward to this new role.

Are we thinking about consequences?
Ayoungster was being reprimanded for his behaviour by his dad. “Young man, didn’t you consider the consequences for your actions?” The son responded, “How am I supposed to think about consequences before they happen?”
Likewise, our government is not thinking about the consequences of the policies it implements. MP Leslyn Lewis, who has a masters in environmental studies, said, “I have seen first hand that good intentions don’t always equal effective policy. Punishing and taxing a person doesn’t result in saving the planet.” Neither will the planet be saved by the Liberals’ plan to introduce new taxes of up to $4,000 for people who buy a truck.
Punishing Canadians under the guise of a worthy cause, is becoming increasingly popular. The worthy cause is the government’s push to get to net zero emissions. Canadian Minister of Environment Steven Guilbeault said provincial fuel tax breaks “go against our efforts to fight climate change”.
In a National Post article, Rex Murphy wrote, “Canada has one purpose only, one duty as a country: to save the great globe of our common earth from inexorable climate doom.” PM Trudeau announced his new targets for Canada’s carbon-dioxide emissions at a recent visit to Vancouver, before partaking of a Liberal fundraiser dinner with a price tag of $1,675 a plate.
While Canada’s government is determined to lead the way in the fight against climate change, other countries like India, Saudi Arabia and China are not paying attention. An economist, Bob Murphy
observed that the rationale of taxing carbon to make it more expensive so households and businesses are motivated to use something else, will cause pain for Canadians and scale back our standard of living.
A comparison could be a theatre owner complaining about too much popcorn on the floor. In order to solve the situation, he drastically increases the cost of popcorn, rather than hiring someone to clean the popcorn off the floor. Another comparison could be the government solving the problem of higher vegetable prices, by suggesting people find something to eat rather than vegetables. However the logical solution would be to grow gardens and produce more vegetables locally.
Murphy also noted that reducing emissions in Canada will have no effect world wide, while the rest of the world, particularly developing countries, won’t care about their pledges. As evidence, China continues to unveil coal fired power plants.
“The policies that are being advanced don’t make sense, even if the threat of climate change is as bad as activists say it is,” Murphy said. “The way they are going about it is much more harmful than it needs to be. The irony is, while all the focus is on policies that won’t do much, it’s distracting away from potential solutions that would work.” He said there’s plenty of privately funded research teams looking at things like seeding the ocean so more algae grows, absorbing more C02, while the Fraser Institute in Canada shows the actual numbers to try and contain hysteria on this topic.
Europe went green, but are
now preparing to ration energy. Germany quickly phased out coal and nuclear power, leaving it dependent on unreliable wind energy and imports from Russia. Nevertheless, an opinion piece in the National Post noted that Canada is doing the opposite of what it should be doing amidst what is going on in the world.
Canada also relies a great deal on foreign imports, and is doing exactly what Germany did ... moving away from domestic oil production. Instead of acknowledging this, our government has announced further restrictions,
and our Prime Minister refuses to learn any lessons from these events. Our Energy Minister claims we need to decarbonize our society, including transportation, oil and gas, aluminum, as well as the cement and auto sectors, without any regard to the cost for the consumer.
Green energy is offered as the solution for everything, even the war in Ukraine, which is dubbed as carbon heavy activity. The government’s way of thinking seems to be - Canada needs to be an example, for other countries to follow. But they’re not following.
Winston Churchill said, “When great causes are on the move in the world, we learn that we are spirits and not animals and that something is going on in space and time which, whether we like it or notspells duty.”
Canadians need to contemplate what would happen if our government’s cause and policies resulted in Canada no longer using Canadian oil and becoming completely dependent on oil from other countries. What would happen to our economy? Is Churchill right when he said we have a duty, whether we like it or not?

With calving season well underway and seeding on the horizon, I wanted to take a moment to share my appreciation for all of the farmers and ranchers in Battle River-Crowfoot who are hard at work feeding our province, country, and the world. It’s not an easy industry to be in with long hours, inclement weather, massive increases in costs, supply chain problems, political issues like Government taxes and mandates, the rural-urban divide, having to be price takers on both inputs and products sold, and ectara.
As the 5th generation to be involved in our family farm in the Special Areas, I know there is no better way of life than life on the farm or ranch. But that doesn’t make it easy, and in the midst of all the good are many challenges; ones that can have a real impact on mental health.
We are seeing mental health and well-being becoming a bigger priority in both the home and the workplace. Unfortunately, due to the
busy seasons in agriculture that demand long hours without a break, farmers, ranchers, and their families are continuing to fall through the cracks.
As we thank those involved in the agriculture sector, I want to affirm that there are supports available for those who find themselves struggling. Please reach out, whether this is you, a loved one, or a neighbour. The stigma around mental health can change, but we need to do it together.
A few available supports include:
National Suicide Prevention Line: 1.833.456.4566
Alberta Mental Health Hotline: 1.877.303.2642
Crisis Services Canada: 1.833.456.4566 / Text 45645
If you or someone you know is under duress, don’t be afraid to ask for help. You could save someone’s life.
Canada’s Conservatives understand how mental health issues have impacted
Canadians. My colleague, Todd Doherty, MP for Prince GeorgeCariboo, passed a motion calling for a consolidated national suicide hotline. The implementation of this helpline would make it easier for those who are struggling to get help. This is an initiative that has received a lot of support from municipalities across Battle RiverCrowfoot.
My Conservative colleagues and I will continue to go to bat for our agriculture industry, including working to address the many challenges faced by farmers and ranchers. Again, I would like to thank all farmers and ranchers who ensure that Canada and the world are wellfed with ethically sourced and nutritious food. Your contributions are deeply appreciated.
It is an honour to serve as the Member of Parliament for Battle River—Crowfoot, a region where agriculture thrives. I would like to extend my best wishes to our agriculture industry as we approach the calving and seeding season.

Hello everyone! Sure been a stormy week, although very thankful for the moisture. We sure are hoping for some sunshine and warmer days. This week we kept busy with our activities, keeping up with our exercises and moving our bodies, looking forwards to being able to do some walking outside in the warm weather. On Monday we had an Easter Tea, sipping on hot tea, and enjoying Easter themed movie. On Wednesday we buckled our seat belts and arm chair traveled to Brazil, where
we got to learn all about Brazilian culture, cities and even the Amazonian landscapes, we finished off our travels with a game of hangman all about what we had just learned! Thursday we got a game of shuffleboard going all afternoon and on Friday we finish off our week with our horse racing and bingo. Friday was the celebration of Earth, the residents honored the day by dressing in blue and green, and we got to watch some Earth documentaries!
Hope everyone has a great week!

Rodeo Club ready to crack the latches in Brooks

The fall and spring rodeo seasons conclude with provincial finals in June. Silver Sage will be the home again this year for our District 2 Jr. & Sr. High rodeo.
The Jr. High rodeo will kick off on April 29 at 10am and will wrap up on April 30 starting at 8am.

I hope everyone had an enjoyable Easter weekend and a good time spent with friends and family. Youngstown received a bit of snow this week, but not much compared to other areas. Hopefully calving is going well for everyone despite the unpredictable weather.
While Youngstown School is on Easter break from April 15-24, there are still a couple items to note this week. Just a reminder that April 26 is the deadline to submit your order for plants/flowers to the kindergarten. Starting also on April 26 and going until May 5, you can drop off your gently used clothes, books, and household items in a trailer by the kindergarten. It’s a great way to do some spring cleaning while supporting something important in our community.
Thanks for reading. Have a good week everybody.

I hope everyone enjoyed a lovely Easter with family and friends gathered around tables. Perhaps the odd crocus or bunch of pussy willows graced your homes as well.
Some much needed moisture has been falling. Everything from rain/snow/sleet and hail seem to be coming. Thankfully the winds settled for a few days, but are roaring once more.
Our community sends deepest condolences to the family of Rose Bakowy, as they mourn her loss. Prayers of peace and comfort are sent to you all.
This is my last column. Wanda Molzan will be taking over for the next few months.
Take care everyone.

Economic update: Minister Schweitzer
Minister of Jobs, Economy and Innovation Doug Schweitzer issued the following statement on Alberta’s economy:
“The first three months of 2022 have shown that Alberta’s economy is not only recovering, it is growing. Key economic indicators over the first three months of 2022 show that the province continues on a path to growth.
“There is always a strong focus on jobs, because those are what are closest to Albertans. We cannot talk about economic recovery until it is reaching the kitchen tables of Albertans, and that is what we’re now experiencing. Alberta has not just recovered all of the jobs that were lost during the pandemic, but we have gained jobs. Despite a pandemic and energy price crash, Alberta’s unemployment rate is the lowest it has been since December 2018 and I am confident that the coming months will see a continued drop in unemployment.
“This is thanks to the increased private sector investment our province is seeing. On a per capita basis, Alberta leads all provinces with private sector capital expenditures. Companies are choosing to grow and expand in our province. In the first three months of 2022, we’ve seen companies like Walmart, De Havilland, Hibiki-Seiki, PACE, Neo Financial, EY, Binance, HCL Technologies, Brane and Unity grow into Alberta and create jobs. In the first three months of this year, Alberta added 22,400 jobs and employment is 4.3 per cent higher than last March.
“The jobs we are seeing created in our province across sectors also show that Alberta continues to lead the country in good-paying jobs. More than 13,000 businesses have incorporated over the past three months, an increase of 4.8 per cent compared with the same period last year. Alberta’s average weekly earnings increased by 2.0 per cent in January 2022 compared with January 2021, to $1,254. Nationally, average weekly earnings were $1,162.
“New jobs also demonstrate the diversification of our economy. Companies growing into Alberta – in addition to local businesses – are coming in every sector from logistics to aerospace to renewable energy, finance and technology. Diversification is not just a buzzword, it is happening.
“Alberta’s reputation in the technology and innovation sector continues to grow. We have incredible talent here and, when paired with Albertans’ entrepreneurial spirit, success is born. In the first quarter alone, Alberta-based startups including Wyvern, PainWorth, Syantra, Avanti, Summit Nanotech, Drink Partake, Virtual Gurus, Validere, Reach, Helcim, Athennian and Arcus Power announced successful financing rounds. In addition, new Alberta-based startups including Entos Pharmaceuticals, Intelliwave Technologies, Stellaralgo, Interface Fluidics, and Tetra Trust announced new partnerships. The real strength of Alberta’s tech sector is in its early-stage deals, which bodes well for the future. All this momentum is helping to make Calgary the top city for tech talent growth in North America, with Edmonton not far behind.

“Our manufacturing sector is seeing growth across sectors. Alberta is one of the top provinces for manufacturing sales growth, with sales totalling $16.1 billion in the first two months of the year – up 30.2 per cent from this time last year. Energy products and fabricated metal product sales grew by 63.7 per cent and 44.3 per cent respectively. Over the same period, Alberta’s wholesale trade increased 23.4 per cent from last year, with growth in every product category.
“Alberta is also leading the country in growth in merchandise exports. Alberta exported more than $28.6 billion in goods during the first two months of this year, up 54.4 per cent from last year. This was led by growth in energy products, which was up by 72.8 per cent year to date.
“Our work to create a business-friendly environment by lowering taxes on job creators and reducing red tape is helping to restore business and investor confidence and attract significant job-creating investment to the province.
“In turn, this is attracting more people to move to Alberta. Edmonton and Calgary are the two most affordable cities in the country, according to a recent report. Globally, that puts Edmonton at No. 4 and Calgary at No. 10 for affordable cities. The most recent net migration numbers, released last month, show positive growth. Alberta’s housing markets are booming and overall building permits are up 7.7 per cent, comparing the first two months of this year with January and February 2021.
“The province’s economy is expected to fully recover to 2014 levels this year, expanding by 5.4 per cent, and be among the nation’s growth leaders. I’m confident that Alberta’s future is bright and we’re just at the beginning of what will be Alberta’s decade.”
