So, guess who dropped in to IABC Calgary’s Black-and-White 50th Anniversary Gala January 28? The USA’s travel ban on Muslim countries was on the mayor’s mind as he spoke to the importance of community, […]

While claiming to apologize for the mistakes of the PC government, Premier Dave Hancock failed to do so. [Edmonton Journal, May 2, “Premier: ‘I’m truly sorry.’] He should have said: “We made mistakes. Cabinet made mistakes. Individual ministers made mistakes.
