Last night, so many people tried to read this article that it crashed the website! Let’s try again this morning - for the love of Canada, and Alberta.
Why should Alberta stay in Canada? The reasons aren’t just economic or legal. I hope you will read and share my robust rebuttal to those trying to break up our country. And I hope you’ll respond. #cdnpoli #Alberta #ableg #abpoli #Canada #SenateofCanada

We see those signs on our hikes & have also seen skinned carcasses left to rot beside wildlife cameras. Hearing a family dog who's caught in a trap gives you a good idea of what happens to a trapped animal. It's a sick way to manage wildlife and definitely not required to make a living 😡
