The evidence of American interference here in #Alberta continues to grow. If you stay home and don't vote, you are letting them win. #ABPoli #Referendum2026

There's a haze over #RuralAlberta these days. Farmers have begun #harvest! Please have patience on our roads as equipment moves from field to field, and field to home! Slow down, give them space. To our farmers, stay safe and may your harvest be better than anticipated!!!

Our current #Government in #Alberta has a very specific goal with this monstrosity of a referendum. They only get what they want if we don't vote. So, #GetOutTheVote and make your voice heard! #NoToTheNine #StayInCanada

I attended this event, and I think Peter Guthrie was very well spoken on why he left the UCP, and why he didn't leave sooner. There are reasons I'm willing to follow him, he covers many of them here: substack.com/@thebreakdow... #ABPoli #ABTory

25 years ago, our closest ally and friend was attacked. In that attack Canadians died alongside our Neighbours. I was 20yrs old and had just finished my AVGP Driver's Course earlier that year. I watched the towers fall while sitting in the Mewata Armouries. My kit was packed that night. When....

We fix what is broken, we don't fix what is not broken. But apparently the #AlbertaGovernment doesn't abide by that truism. So on the 19th of October, get out and vote. Maybe then they'll stop breaking things and making us pay for it. #ABPoli #ABTory #StandingUp

A reminder to pause your #DoomScrolling, put down the outrage machine, and go for a constitutional outside; either by yourself or with a friend. And if walking at night, make sure you're visible!

A rainy Labour Day in Armena so the #Market is in the church today! Always fun to stop by and get some #local produce and #handmade household items! Remember #PeopleAreNotProps, so you'll have to come visit (until 1) if you want to see for yourself!

What is #Leadership? Well, Leadership is trying to fix things within the systems available to you, and when that doesn't work, stepping back, and making a new path! There is a reason I'm willing to follow Pete Guthrie & support him as we build the Progressive Tory Party! #ABPoli #ABTory #StandingUp

84 years ago the Calgary Tanks (with Squadrons in Calgary, Olds, and Gleichen), and several other Canadian Regiments, landed on the beaches of Dieppe, France. 2/3 of the Regiment was either captured or killed within hours. I've stood on that beach, and I will #RememberThem

150years ago Treaty Six was signed, granting the land that Central Alberta sits on to the Crown. We still have work to do to balance the needs of everyone now. But #History can't be ignored. Events were so quiet our Minister of Indigenous Relations didn't showup. I'm here for ALL my neighbours.

Back in my old stomping grounds to see what has changed, and what has remained the same for #TacticalDays. Found the AVGP(Cougar variant) that I was the last to drive before it was parked. It was fun to see all of the displays, all of the people, and pay my respects to the fallen.

Some 26 years ago, I was hurried onto an MLVW in Wainwright, and rushed back into base from the training area. A tornado hit the training area, and then Pine Lake. With new tornado warnings covering the area, including Flagstaff County, I hope everyone stays safe

14 July '26 When the news cameras leave, & there's no more photo ops, our #politicians race off to chase the next big headline (while leaving out a great deal of info).
