Whey to go: Is cheese the new reason to travel? From Alpine caves to Corsica's mountains, travellers are discovering France's landscapes and traditions through its most famous dairy delicacy.

Ummm, yes.

US lawmakers write to Canada to complain their wildfire smoke is spoiling summer The politicians say their constituents are "limited in their ability to go outside" because of the air quality.

Huh, they think we aren’t doing anything?

This is the worst kept secret in Alberta politics. And it is yet another reason a public inquiry is required. This goes well beyond the technicalities of government procurement. The bigger questions surround political interference, patronage, and corruption.

ANALYSIS | Danielle Smith's reform is nudging Alberta separation vote from 'if' toward 'when' | CBC News Activists would need signatures from a reduced fraction of Albertans to force a referendum, thanks to a new UCP bill. But to actually win separation, they must climb a much higher wall (and most oppos...

In Canada's Alberta, national unity is on the ballot In Alberta, many voters feel alienated by the country’s elite - some are even tempted by Trump’s call to join the US.

β€œWe” Albertans do not feel this way. SOME Albertans feel that way. So embarrassing in international news. Gah

WW II postcard campaign reminds Canadian homeowners that fallen 'lived where you live' | CBC News Over the last week, selected homes across Canada received poignant reminders of military members who fought and died in the final months of World War II.

Such a wonderful idea to help us remember our fallen soldiers.

A politically satirical image styled like a dark, mystical tarot card reading. At the top, bold gold text reads: β€œTHE READING BEGINS…”

A hooded, shadowed figure looms behind a table displaying three tarot cards. From left to right:

    Card I – β€œPublic Inquiry” shows a classical stone archway resembling a government building entrance, symbolizing transparency and accountability.

    Card XV – β€œThe Gaslighter” depicts a stern man in a suit holding a gaslamp, symbolizing deception and manipulation. His serious expression is menacing.

    Card II – β€œThe Distraction” shows a jester juggling shiny balls, smiling cheerfully, representing misleading spectacle and misdirection.

Below the image, in stylized beige text:
"Danielle Smith sat for a reading. Public Inquiry is in the cards."
The style evokes mystery, prophecy, and poetic justice, framing the call for accountability as inevitable.

A political cartoon in vintage illustration style. A classic brass balance scale is centered against a beige background, with the silhouette of Alberta faintly behind.

Left scale pan is weighed down heavily by a large and diverse group of Albertans standing together, symbolizing public demand.
Right scale pan is nearly weightless, holding only a crumpled piece of paper labeled β€œUCP Answers.”

Top caption in bold black text reads:
β€œALBERTANS WEIGH IN β€” PUBLIC INQUIRY DEMANDED.”

Bottom caption in a black banner states:
β€œThe Dodgy Contracts Affair / CorruptCare Scandal”

The visual implies that public opinion overwhelmingly favors transparency and that government deflection holds little weight.

Albertans are done with smoke, mirrors, and dodgy contracts.
The weight of the people is real. The distractions are not.
It’s time for transparency. It’s time for a Public Inquiry.
