The lead architect of Alberta’s climate change plan says that despite some opposition, the initiative is helping shift the debate on the province’s biggest resource. “I think you’ve seen a very different framing of the oilsands nationally and internationally,” said Andrew Leach, who led Alberta’s climate change advisory panel. It’s all part of a changing […]

Let’s get this out of the way first: Yes, Spencer Estabrooks had to do plenty of research for his newest documentary. For a filmmaker whose past efforts involved zombie cowboys (Deadwalkers), killer desert sharks (Sharkasaurus) and drunk wizards (One Hit Die), entering the world of non-fiction required a different sort of diligence That said, the research needed for Aleberta: Our Beer History, while […]

There are times when John Catucci can’t help himself. As the host of the Food Network Canada’s You Gotta Eat Here! the standup comedian and his crew are faced with temptation in every city they visit: delectable and often not particularly healthy specialties in restaurants throughout the country and beyond. So to keep his waistline in line, Catucci is often […]

Against the backdrop of Premier Rachel Notley blaming the previous Tory government for mounting challenges in the electricity sector and yet another power purchase arrangement (PPA) being returned to the provincial Balancing Pool, Canada’s Ecofiscal Commission, in a report Wednesday, outlines its recommendations for recycling carbon tax revenues. In some ways, the timing couldn’t be better, since […]

From standing on the edge and being all shook up to … well, heaven tonight, maybe? The lap of luxury? Whatever the case, things are going pretty well right now for veteran Illinois rock act Cheap Trick. On Friday, the influential band, known for classic albums such as their 1977 eponymous debut, In Color, Dream […]

It isn’t fair to say that the Rachel Notley government is so wedded to its policies that it’s indifferent to feedback.  Alberta Human Services, for example, recently repealed home safety regulations for persons with developmental disabilities after stakeholders complained the rules were too restrictive. “We have heard the disability community loud and clear, and we will continue working […]

By Bob Ascah April 14 promises to be an important day in Alberta history. With 11 months under its belt, the NDP cabinet has been briefed (and briefed) on government programs and fiscal realities.

Wary of naturopathy Re: “Regulating naturopaths,” April 4. Naturopathy is not a form of medicine, but a belief system treating illness reliant on the theory of vitalism, an imbalance of vital forces. It is not alternative medicine. Reliance by naturopathy on homeopathic nosodes not only endangers children, but all patients seeking treatment. It is quackery, […]

That’s why we’ve created these delicious salad recipes that put flavour, colour and texture at the forefront, to help you fall in love with vegetables again. Jewel-toned […]

Miles outside the post-season picture and focused firmly on the future, Tuesday’s game against the Los Angeles Kings meant nothing to the Calgary Flames. But try telling Hunter Shinkaruk that. Or Mark Giordano. Or Johnny Gaudreau. Or Sean Monahan. Or Deryk Engelland, for that matter. But, bound and determined to make up for last year’s […]

With power-play strike, D Mark Giordano nets his 21st of the season, the most by a Flames rearguard since Al MacInnis scored 28 times in 1993-94 . . . Just 32 seconds later, Kings RW Andy Andreoff replies . . . Flames D Deryk Engelland scores go-ahead goal, but Kings RW Kris Versteeg scores equalizer in final minute. Flames 0:33 3rd Mark Giordano (Gaudreau, Monahan)

Miles outside the post-season picture and focused firmly on the future, Tuesday’s game against the Los Angeles Kings meant nothing to the Calgary Flames. But try telling that to Hunter Shinkaruk. Or Mark Giordano. Or Johnny Gaudreau. Or Sean Monahan. Or Deryk Engelland, for that matter. But despite a solid effort by the home side, […]

This is something hockey folks say all the time – points are important, always. They're as valuable in October as they are in March. They count. They matter.

They sit in the back of the Calgary Flames’ trainers room, perfectly lined up, taped, and cut to each player’s liking.And, resting alone, Hunter Shinkaruk’s CCM looks like any other. But nestled next to, say, Mark Giordano’s massive Warriors or Dougie Hamilton’s Bauers, you’d think the 21-year-old winger is still using up his supply of […]

Police continued to beat Christian Duckchief long after he was on the floor and handcuffed, his fiancée says — until his orbital bone, cheek and nose were all fractured. Chantel Stonechild said Duckchief, 23, was dragged from the house, naked. “They treated him worse than an animal,” she said.

Jake Bean certainly set the bar high. Maybe impossibly high. What can the Calgary Hitmen defenceman possibly do for an encore? Setting a new scoring record every season seems like a bit much to expect. Then again, maybe not. “I’m going to have some more opportunities next year,” Bean said. “And who knows what the […]

The mother of a Canadian Forces member who died in an avalanche during a training exercise in Banff National Park says she’s satisfied with the results of a report into his death.
