When David Haysom agreed to play Stanley Kowalski in Spirit Fire’s production of the Tennessee Williams classic A Streetcar Named Desire, he knew he was wading into some dangerous territory. He’s known this in one way or another since he was a child. “My mother was a high school English teacher. We always had an […]

Remembrance Day services, Keys N Krates celebrates Commonwealth's five-year anniversary and more things to do this weekend.

Albertans know the feeling that comes with waking up to find their world turned upside down following an election. That’s what happened Wednesday morning in the United States after Donald Trump defied both the odds and the polls. And as happened here in May 2015, the one question being asked over and over again is ‘how did […]

An oilfield services company that laid off more than 400 workers last year is now warning that it can’t find enough staff to take advantage of a recent increase in activity.

The cost of failing to reach a deal this month is rising for OPEC as rival producers are set to revive production in 2017, the International Energy Agency predicted.

Donald Trump’s hostility toward trade with OPEC oil producers and interest in U.S. energy security could boost demand for Canadian oil as he assumes the president’s office, says the head of a Calgary commodity trading firm. Canada provided about 43 per cent of the nine million barrels per day of oil imported by the United […]

Coleman Hell and Keys N Krates are some of the highlights of live music in Calgary this week

We live in an era where technological advances seem to be accelerating at a pace that makes it harder and harder to keep up with issues such as safety and ethics. Reproductive technology has now entered uncharted waters in such a way that at the recent annual meeting of the American Academy of Pediatrics in San Francisco, […]

No one’s suggesting you bust out the Christmas tunes just yet, but shopping, like certain other seasonal traditions (chores, to some), requires a bit of lead time. Our gift to you: stay on the couch; most of these items are available online. Blow the Doors Off The Short Story Advent Calendar is back with another […]

John and Shirley Welton know how to mark an occasion. Over the course of 56 years in this little Renfrew bungalow, the Weltons have let nary a Halloween or Christmas pass without celebrating in big, colourful style on their front lawn. Located on a busy road directly across from the neighourhood’s community centre, their house […]

The stunning victory of Donald Trump in Tuesday’s nail-biter of a U.S. presidential election will be felt well beyond America’s borders. The tough-talking Republican has promised to revamp his country’s immigration policies, build a wall between southern states and Mexico and be more aggressive in the war against ISIL terrorists. No country has as much interest […]

Americans vote for hate and division Re: “America divided,” Nov. 9. I consider Tuesday night to be the moment Americans lost their consciousness. It was the day when America as a country lost its greatness. And it was a day when hate has dominated and won over love and respect. I still can’t grasp how could […]

For such a blessed generation, we sure do complain a lot. Maybe we should be called the bylaw bunch, loving nothing better than having someone else, beholden to our miserly doled out tax pennies, slap some fine on something or someone with the effrontery to infringe upon our sacred rights. Perhaps they’ve parked horizontally outside […]

A world-renowned Muslim cleric is dismissing the campaign rhetoric of Donald Trump, a day after the real estate mogul was elected as the next president of the United States. During his visit to the Baitun Nur Mosque in Calgary, His Holiness, Caliph Hazrat Mirza Masroor Ahmad said the inflammatory language used by Trump during his election campaign, including a […]

The question has been asked a million times. It’s never been answered. And Bo Levi Mitchell wasn’t about to become the first. “Everybody keeps asking me, ‘Who do you want to play?’ ” the Calgary Stampeders star quarterback said of his preferred opponent for the West Division final on Nov. 20. “My answer to that […]

On the ice, he has seldom looked like his old self. Admittedly, Calgary Flames defenceman TJ Brodie hasn’t necessarily been feeling like his usual self, either. Not consistently, anyway. “It’s definitely not the start I wanted to have. Some games have felt good, some games haven’t,” Brodie said after Wednesday’s practice at the Saddledome, offering […]

A former U.S. ambassador to Canada doesn’t think the election of Donald Trump means it’s time to sound the death knell on the North American Free Trade Agreement. In fact, David Wilkins insists trade — particularly that tied to energy — will grow between Canada and the United States, despite Trump’s broadside attacks against the continental pact during the presidential […]

The election of Donald Trump as the next U.S. president could have far-reaching ramifications north of the 49th parallel. Experts weigh in on what Trump’s possible policies could mean for Alberta. ENERGY Analysts and industry groups say Trump’s election bodes well for efforts to improve access of Alberta crude to American markets, potentially reducing the discount local producers […]

It doesn’t tell the whole story but hints of a problem.   Attendance records show city councillors appointed to the Calgary police commission have missed a surprising number of scheduled meetings, in some years more than half.  And at least one councillor has, apparently, been too busy to attend the commissioners’ annual group photo shoot, […]

The resident Calgary Flames chaplains, Rod Sawatzky and Jack Knight, stopped by on Wednesday to introduce themselves. Their role around the team is to provide spiritual consultation should any of the players or coaches require it and, on this day before practice, they wanted to relay a simple message: if you need us, we’re here. […]

Calgarians planning to honour the courage of those who died serving our country will have several Remembrance Day services to choose from Nov. 11. And they may not even need a coat. Balmy temperatures are expected to continue into Friday, with a mix of sun and cloud and an unseasonably warm high of 15C. Some […]

Pedestrians and drivers in Calgary are among the safest in Canada, says a new report that came before the city’s transportation committee Wednesday. But even though Calgary boasts half the national average of pedestrian crashes and ranks well below the Canadian average in vehicle collisions, city bureaucrats told committee members the goal is to continue […]
