Jason Caldwell has spent the last 27 years in the business of protecting people against loss. His career in the IT industry has been focused on helping clients recover lost data and prepare for what he and his colleagues call foreseeable disasters, like hard drive crashes and computer viruses. Eight months ago, Caldwell found himself […]

Jim Prentice deserves our respect Re: “He loved Alberta,” Editorial, Oct. 15. I never voted for Jim Prentice when he ran in my Calgary riding. I liked him an awful lot, but I wasn’t fond of his boss or his party. In a time when our neighbours to the south are having a nasty election […]

This should not be taken as a dare. But, when asked, Steve Lemme and Kevin Heffernan say they now know how to deal with hecklers. Not long ago, standup comedy was relatively new territory for the two members of Broken Lizard, the five-man American troupe behind mustachioed crimefighters the Super Troopers and other cinematic creations. As recently as 2013, Lemme admitted during interviews that the […]

DEER LODGE, Mont. — A Canadian on death row in Montana has been living on borrowed time since admitting he murdered two young men more than three decades ago, but he says he has renewed hope he might be able to return home with the support of Justin Trudeau’s government. “I’m ready to come […]

With its feet firmly rooted in the past and eyes locked on the future, Calgary Co-op has become one of the major business entities in southern Alberta. The co-operative movement has always been about bringing people together. At Calgary Co-op, it’s both the member-owners and the team members who serve them that drive its success, […]

As the Western Canadian economy continues to underperform, co-operatives are showing an enviable resilience. Federated Co-operatives Limited (FCL), headquartered in Saskatoon, is the central wholesale, manufacturer and distributor for 200 retail co-ops in Western Canada. For a fourth consecutive year, FCL has maintained its ranking as the largest company in Saskatchewan and is now the […]

Consider it Karma, albeit a few years late. During Saturday’s 2-1 shootout loss to the Vancouver Canucks, the Calgary Flames were gifted the first goal of the game — an own-goal which was scored during a delayed penalty call. At the 9:14 mark of the first period with netminder Ryan Miller sprinting to the bench, […]

It was an unlucky 13th win in a row. The payout: Two largely meaningless points. The cost: One of the best linebackers in the game. The Calgary Stampeders earned a lacklustre 22-8 win over the Montreal Alouettes on Saturday night, extending a pair of impressive streaks in the process. But there isn’t a player or […]

Every story needs a villain. And, during the 2015 National Hockey League post-season, Micheal Ferland became enemy No. 1 for the Vancouver Canucks. That playoff run for the Calgary Flames seems like a million years ago now — at least, in the hockey world — but for Glen Gulutzan, then an assistant coach for the […]

It wasn’t pretty. It was downright ugly at times. But they don’t ask how you win. Just how many. The answer: A lot. The Calgary Stampeders weren’t at their explosive best but used a stifling defensive effort to dump the Montreal Alouettes 22-8 on Saturday at McMahon Stadium. Stamps quarterback Bo Levi Mitchell wasn’t going […]

The resort hamlet of Lake Louise has consistently ascended to the peak of per capita cannabis possession incidents in the country as reported by RCMP.

Saturday evening wasn’t a fun one for quarterbacks at McMahon Stadium. For Montreal Alouettes quarterback Rakeem Cato, that wasn’t exactly a surprise. Protecting the man behind centre isn’t exactly one of the Alouettes’ strengths. They rank last in the CFL in sacks-allowed, with 54, and he was sacked seven times by the Stampeders on Saturday. […]

Loved ones of an ex-Mountie, optometrist and prominent businessman who died former Alberta premier Jim Prentice were grieving their loss Saturday.

Investigators continued to scour a timbered area Saturday for clues to why a corporate jet crashed near Kelowna, B.C., killing former Alberta premier Jim Prentice and three other Calgary-area men.

The federal government may be moving the country towards legalizing marijuana within the next couple years, but supporters of the move fear the stigma associated with cannabis use will not fade so quickly.   “I think because the stereotype of the stoner has been allowed to stay around, that’s what people expect,” said Chrystal Vondran, whose husband takes medical marijuana. “Things will change over time, but […]

It was quite the sight in downtown Calgary Saturday. A long, single-file line of people donned in black, some with their mouths taped shut, silently made its way down Stephen Avenue to shine a spotlight on human slavery. The somber group remained speechless, but handed out pamphlets to bystanders detailing the harsh realities of human slavery […]

It was the opportunity of a lifetime for young soccer players. Kids, cleats and many a soccer ball filled the Calgary West Soccer Centre for a rare opportunity to meet celebrated striker Christine Sinclair, captain of the national women’s soccer team. Sinclair arrived in Calgary Saturday to participate in a special soccer clinic where a lucky […]

The undead wandered Calgary’s downtown core during the annual Zombie Walk on Saturday. A few hundred people took part in the walk from Olympic Plaza to Tompkins Park, mostly in the name of fun, but also to raise money and donations for the Calgary Food Bank.
