An independent report shows the Calgary water main disaster was years in the making. Who was mayor then? Take a wild guess. Naheed Nenshi, now leader of the Alberta NDP. Eleven years in office. Zero accountability. Endless excuses.

Alberta producers have raised real concerns about proposed federal livestock traceability changes. We’ve been clear: traceability must work in the real world. That means taking the time to engage industry and avoiding new red tape, barriers, or costs for farmers and ranchers.
