I was not aware that Kenney and Harper were around in 1957 when the programme was initiated. Nor we they in office in 1967 when it was revised - at least not in "public" office.

Well said Richard. Having driven in UK and Europe as well as Down Under and south of the 49th (not recently) I have to say that the standard of driving generally in this area is the worst I have ever witnessed.

What a sadly ill-informed comment. PP refused the clearance because it would have gagged him and precluded any questions of all the undeniable wrong doing that has occurred and continues to occur with this incompetent Liberal "government....!??"

After some years living on the Peguis Reserve in Manitoba as Principal of the Day School there, I became District Superintendent of Education with the (lately named) Department of Indian Affairs with the responsibility for the Edmonton-Hobbema District. Maswachis Cultural College came into existence during my time there. Wilton Littlechild was then a student of Physical Education and later, Law at the University of Alberta. What a wonderful example he was for his people from the Four Bands - Ermineskin, Samson, Montana and Louis Bull - as well as for we who had the privilege of working with him back in the 1970's. He was an athlete who had won the Tom Longboat Award as the outstanding Indigenous athlete; he was a student who worked hard to succeed; but most of all he was a man, a human being who had conquered incredible difficulties to achieve all that he has done in service not only to his people but to Canada. Beyond all that he is (as is clearly demonstrated here) a humble man.

For TN: But the point is, at least for those who made the choices as they did, a place like Okotoks IS rural. I can give you the example of one who turned down a position in Brandon Manitoba as opposed to Winnipeg as it was RURAL and didn't have the amenities with which the person had grown up.

I was unable to vote because there was no appropriate choice for me. I have a great Family Doctor. Fortunately, I have had access to one throughout my 58 years here in three Canadian Provinces (as well as my previous 29 in UK). I welcome the arrival of doctors into the Community for those who do not enjoy that comfort and it clearly does impact me as a member of this community. With the assumption that they are professionally qualified, their origins are meaningless: they are Medical Doctors.
If our Medical Faculties are not producing enough qualified people (I am aware of the time that takes to catch up), then to look elsewhere makes absolute sense.
In my own profession, I came across quite a few graduates whom I would have wished to hire, but they were often reluctant to leave the City. I became aware of some who actually refused a permanent "rural" position, preferring to "sub" or more than once, work at anything so that they could stay in the City. 5 University years thrown away.

This is absolutely unacceptable behaviour - anywhere - period. Sadly we are hearing foul language on the street as well as at events like a hockey game and as the writer suggests, it should bring with it a real and concrete consequence. It should be dealt with and those who perform in this manner - hooliganism would seem to describe it - should be publicly called out and made public. Personal rights and privacy is lost. They were abandoned when bounds were crossed.
Sadly again, we are expected to accept / ignore this sort of thing all too frequently. It appears that today, there are no consequences for what was formerly unacceptable conduct.

So we take an article on Dis-and Misinformation, caption with a visual misty/foggy view beyond a bunch of vehicles and promote Climate Change with a visual meant to suggest smog.
No Mis- or Disinformation here huh??

However, "strong federal leadership" and "Prime Minister Trudeau" is the ultimate oxymoron. They are a contradiction beyond understanding or measure.

Carney has not doing anything at this time - he is still talking about doing and that is the fayre we have ingested for the past decade. Actually DO something and perhaps we could believe that the chef has actually changed.
