On Dec. 21, 1910, four Royal North-West Mounted Police officers left Fort McPherson to deliver mail and parcels to Dawson City.
They never reached their destination. All four died in the wilderness.
This is the story of the Lost Patrol.

2025 was a great year. #ForeverCanadian volunteers accomplished so much.
During the holidays, take a break from politics, rest, and enjoy your time with loved ones.
2026 will be busy and we’ll be ready to show the world that Alberta’s future is in Canada.

No, I don’t want to search with Gemini. I don’t want to edit with Copilot. I don’t want to ask ChatGPT, joke with Grok, or write with Siri AI. I’ll never create an image with Nano Banana and hell will freeze over before I use Claude to code.

Yes! As Smith redefines what she calls democracy, it’s absolutely time for the silent majority to push back against authoritarianism! Accountability happens between elections too, even though UCP prefers to dismiss any dissent from mainstream moderate Albertans. We’re not extreme leftists! #ableg
Get over it?
We have a democracy and free speech and the right to criticize power. When the rule of law and the checks and balances of democracy are threatened we have a duty to stand up and defend democracy. Only wannabe dictators want us to do & say nothing. #ableg #cdnpoli
#canpoli #cdnpolu #abpoli
@gillian2.bsky.social, your preferred party lost a democratic election. The electorate chose this outcome. There'll be a chance to change that at the next election. In the meantime... Get over it. #SoreLoser.

Every day, I get letters demanding that the federal govt or the GG or the LG “do something” to change or save Alberta. But the only people who can “fix” Alberta are Albertans. There is no magic constitutional genie. The responsibility is on all of us.
The UCP has made 2025 one of the darkest years for Alberta’s democracy.

Albertans can turn on the lights in 2026.

By simply being Albertan.
