Killam Rodeo moving to Earth has ‘second moon’ Sedgewick in 2025 due for the next few months to Killam Arena work Leslie Cholowsky Editor
Leslie Cholowsky Editor
The Killam Memorial Arena has had its roof damaged due to hail and is scheduled to be replaced the spring of 2025. The Killam and District Ag. Society will be organizing fundraisers this year to also renovate the dressing rooms and lobby, with plans for completion the summer of 2025. That means the Killam Indoor Rodeo will not be held indoors for the 2025 event, and will instead be held outdoors in Sedgewick, June 13 and 14. How that affects other rodeo-weekend events will remain to be seen, but the change is expected to last only until the repairs and renovations have been completed.

This past Sunday, Sept. 29, the Earth gained a second moon, being called a mini-moon by scientists. The object is a bus-sized asteroid that is expected to orbit the planet for the next couple of months. The asteroid was grabbed by Earth’s gravity when it passed close to us, and it’s expected to be thrown off Earth’s gravitational pull and continue to orbit the sun We will reopen Tuesday, Aug. 6 at after a couple of months.

cial numbers. The latest report says that, “Provincial crop quality updates for this week continue to indicate that a smaller proportion than average of the harvested crop is expected to be graded as the highest quality. “Estimates indicate that 94 per cent of hard red spring wheat and 74 per cent of oats will grade in the top two grades in the north east region. For barley, around 23 per cent is expected to grade as Malt, and 63 per cent as 1 C.W. Canola demon-
strates strong quality, with 91 per cent expected to grade as 1 Can. and 5 per cent as 2 Can.” Estimated dryland yields show the north east region faring better than south, central, and peace regions in all but dry peas, and ahead of the provincial averages for major crops. And while frequent, widespread precipitation is frustrating farmers trying to bring in their crops, Alberta surface soil moister ratings are recharging, with a five per cent increase in the
good to excellent ratings, although sub-surface soil moisture remain below average. Good to excellent growth conditions con-
tinued for provincial pasture, in the south, central, and north east regions, but declined in the north west and peace regions.

While last week’s moisture might have been welcomed to improve soil moisture, it also delayed harvest progress, according to Alberta’s most recent Crop Report. That report, dated Sept. 24, says that harvest of pulse crops in the province is nearly complete, while spring wheat and barley are still being harvested. “Recent rains have reportedly lowered the quality expectations of unharvested cereal crops,” the report says. Canola harvest progresses as weather permits, with producers waiting for their crop to dry. Despite weather delays, harvest progress exceeds long-term averages in every region of the province. Major crops are 74 per cent complete overall, up 11 per cent from the previous week. While the northwest and Peace regions reported good progress last week, it was a slower pace for the south, central, and northeast re-
gions. The northeast region includes Smoky Lake, Vermilion, Camrose, and Provost. In the Northeast, only 80.9 per cent of Spring Wheat was combined, down from the provincial average of 86.5 per cent. Canola harvests in our region sat at 33 per cent, significantly lower than the 48.5 per cent provincial average. Peas are sitting at 100 per cent, with Barley at 67 per cent, and Oats at 54 per cent, with the North east region below provin-

Truth and Reconciliation theme at Alliance church service Diane Dammann Alliance P. 780-879-3970 E. petendia@gmail.com
There were quite a few orange shirts in church on Sunday. With Truth and Reconciliation Day on Monday, I found a message on about the subject to use for the service. Laura Towers was the musician for the day and she chose the hymns for me. I did request the first one, ‘We Are Part of a
Family.’ Vickie Cloakey read the scriptures that Beth Davidson found to go with the Reconciliation theme. Thanks for all the help, we got it done. Betty Stoner supplied the after church lunch. We do a lot of eating in this town. The Museum Society put on the Tailgate Party on Saturday afternoon at the museum. There were hot dogs, with all the trimmings, a few salads, and lots of desserts. They held a silent auction and 50/50
as fundraisers. There was just a donation for the meal. There must have been at least 30 people. The museum was open for viewing. This was the last day of regular museum hours until next May. It has been talked about for two or three years or more and it finally happened. We have an application in to form a Friends of the Alliance Library Society. Beth Davidson is president, Roseann Bauman, Vice President, Vickie
Cloakey is taking care of the Secretary position, and Kerry Komix will handle the finances. There is still more room for a couple of board members and of course many would be welcomed as members. The Alliance Community calendar is reaching completion of contacting the advertisers and getting birthdays posted. We hope to have it to the printer, The Community Press, this next week. I find I use the calendar for a phone number source just as much as a
calendar. There was some discussion about phone sheets at the Tailgate party. If you want an upto-date phone list, call me. If you have a number change, call me. All of a sudden, the windmills got a lot closer. I didn’t notice any construction activity and all of sudden there they are, the majestic giants. I noticed some little treats growing this week, shaggy mane mushrooms. There are lots of the fairy ring ones too as well as several varieties

Call Ricci with your news!
Well hello folks. You can sure tell that the fall season has arrived. The leaves are turning colourful, the air is certainly crisp in the night and we have had one degree, a number of mornings. The sunshine and the clear blue sky on Monday were magnificent. Mother Nature has not disappointed us in our area. I saw the absolute devastation on the news, regarding the hurricane nightmares on the USA southeastern states. It looked like bombs had been dropped in a war zone. We are all so tied to our devices that need to be charged. Our phones, computers, credit cards, banks, cash registers, etc. What about those electric cars that are so popular in the southern, heavily populated big cities? What absolute devastation! At least if your gas tank is full or you planned ahead and filled a gerry can you could still drive. If you love that electric car you are out of luck in that storm zone, aren't you? Monday was a national holiday for Truth and Reconciliation. We remember our native forefathers of Canada. Many Canadians can trace their ancestors back to our native brothers and sisters. Be proud of your lineage for you are a true Canadian. I watched some of the television programs about the native history, their amazing culture and some of the atrocities they survived. It was bloody heart wrenching and eye opening. It is important that we are aware of our Canadian roots. I do not remember learning much

Extra bus in Daysland to keep up with enrollment Celeste Ewan Daysland & Area E. daysland.ab.news@gmail.com
Daysland Library is holding their book bingo this week in which teens and adults can take part in hopes to be drawn for a tim hortons gift card! How fun is that!? Daysland School's student population is growing and as such they have had to add another bus to their routes. It is ultra important parents are picking up and dropping off children in the designated areas and avoid the bus lanes denoted with yellow paint on the curb. A most important and big welcome to Tammy Zimmer for joining our trusted team of bus drivers! Heisler has a new offthe-leash dog park, in the back ball diamond on the
far South of the recreation grounds. What a nice addition for the residents of Heisler and surrounding areas, but don't forget to pick up after your pups. There are even waste bags and garbage for convenience. Daysland Arena is cleaning the floor tonight (Wednesday evening); helpers are encouraged to wear rubber boots and bring a squeegee if they don't want to get wet! Maybe gloves, too, as this week the chill sure has set in! Daysland’s own Jr. High Girls volleyball team, this year led by new coach Kim Loesch, looked absolutely captivating in their new personalized team shirts as they went into their season. The girls first tournament took place at OLMP in Camrose, they played beautifully. The final game went to three sets. They came up short but still took home silver. The
second tournament took place in Hay Lakes and with only one set lost the entire day, the team took home gold. This weekend will be a home game (Oct. 4-5). Kim says she is so proud of the girls and boasts how wonderful of a group they are and how lucky she feels to be a part of it all . The talented team members include Grade 9's: Keira Guhle, Olivia Thomas, Parker Innes, Amyra Purchase, and Chesney Hrdlicka. Grade 8's: Claire Stefanishion, Simone Eshpeter, and Nikki Breitkreuz.

Community responds to recent losses with support for families Sandra Erickson Ph: 780-384-2030
Sedgewick email: sedgewicknews@gmail.com
The community of Sedgewick has been hit with a lot of hardship recently. “Rona,” Ji-Young Park, from the Honeybee store, formerly known as AP’s gas station in Sedgewick, passed away at the end of August. She was only 44 years old. Her battle with cancer was fierce and short with a diagnosis of stage four. Her husband Inchan is devastated by her sudden and unexpected loss, as you can imagine, and can use your support and patience as he continues his journey of grief while running a business. They did a lot of renovations to the gas station now called ‘Honeybee’ and had no idea their life would take such unexpected turns. Then in early September, young Katrina, daughter of Pastor Doug and Shelly Webb, died in a tragic vehicle accident just outside Sedgewick. If you drive by the accident scene you may see the flowers, stuffies, and rocks marking the location with the letters: “We love you, Katrina.” The Community Church of the Nazarene has been gathering around their minister and his family any way they can. But not only them, the whole community has had a huge impact on supporting these families during these difficult times. I know Sedgewick and all in Flagstaff County have generous hearts, and will continue to support them and show them their love. I’m not born and raised here, but have come to love the community I chose to raise my family in, and will forever be proud and thankful for the support, love, and generosity the Community of Flagstaff shows towards those in need.

Police and Peace Officers’ memorial day held in Edmonton on Sunday Leslie Cholowsky Editor
The last Sunday of September marks Police and Peace Officers’ Memorial Day in Alberta. A service was held at the Legislature on Sunday, Sept 29. Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Services, Mike Ellis, says, “For almost a century and a half, Alberta police and peace officers have
unfailingly answered the call to serve and protect their neighbours and communities. Today we reflect on the sacrifice of 106 Alberta police and peace officers who have died in the line of duty since 1876. It is with profound gratitude that we honour these heroes and the courage and professionalism they demonstrated in the line of duty. “In rising to meet the demands of the moment,
The Pillar of Strength was unveiled July 18. 2006 on the south grounds of the Alberta Legislature as a prominent reminder of the inherent dangers that all Alberta’s dedicated service men and women accept, and the ultimate sacrifices that they’ve made to keep Albertan’s safe. A dove is inscribed for each Alberta officers killed in the line of duty since 1876. A flame burns continuously atop the pillar.
these men and women laid down their lives in service of us all. While we can never come close to repaying the collective debt we owe them, by pausing to remember the fallen and acknowledge their ultimate sacrifice, we keep their memory alive and solemnly reaffirm the values they lived and upheld in life. “Police and Peace Officers’ Memorial Day is a time to reflect on the profound loss that families, friends and colleagues of the fallen officers live with. Acknowledging the sacrifices made by the families of our officers is crucial, as they endure the challenges and uncertainties that come with the demands of law enforcement. Their unwavering support and resilience play a vital role in enabling officers to carry out their duties, and we must honour their contributions and the emotional toll they often bear in silence. “The police and peace officers serving today bravely confront danger and selflessly work to preserve the peace and security we all enjoy. We can never allow ourselves to take this for granted. Current and fallen officers, our province is deeply grateful to each of you for your service. On behalf of all Albertans, I thank you for keeping us safe.” Alberta’s ceremony is held on the same day as the Canadian Police and Peace Officers’ Memorial Day ceremony in Ottawa. The ceremony is held at the Pillar of Strength located on the south grounds of the Alberta legislature. The sculpture symbolizes Alberta’s committment to peace officers and recognizes “the ultimate sacrifices made by fallen officers.” The pillars has the names of sworn Alberta peace officers killed in the line of duty back as far as 1876. The Honour roll includes North-West Mounted Police officers,
Canadian Pacific Police Service officers, RCMP, Edmonton Police, Alberta Provincial Police, Parks Canada wardens, Drumheller police, Calgary police, Department of Lands and Mines (forest rangers), Alberta Energy and Natural Resources (forest officers)Canadian Provost Corps, Lethbridge police members, Municipal District of Foothills The honour roll carries the names of 106 individuals whose deaths occurred while they were on duty. In 2023, three names were added to the monument: Constable Travis “TJ” Jordan of the Edmonton Police Service, Constable Brett Lee Ryan of the Edmonton Police Service, and Constable Harvinder Singh Dhami of the RCMP. No names were added from 2024

Notice of application to be filed for approval of the natural gas distribution franchise agreement between the Village of Hughenden and ATCO Gas and Pipelines Ltd. Application summary The Alberta Utilities Commission expects to receive an application from ATCO Gas and Pipelines Ltd. to approve the existing current and valid natural gas distribution franchise agreement with the Village of Hughenden. This application for approval is required due to changes made by the Utilities Affordability Statutes Amendment Act, 2024, to various statutes governing franchise agreements.

No changes to the franchise agreement or to the franchise fee rate rider percentage are being made as part of this application. The franchise fee rate rider percentage will remain at its current rate, which is 10.98%.

Flagstaff County issued an ‘A’ BDO Zone rating for investors Leslie Cholowsky Editor
Flagstaff County announced Friday, Sept 27 that it has been issued a “BDO Zone A” rating for wheat straw. A BDO Zone rating is an internationally recognized standards-based technical risk assessment of biomass feedstock, supply chain, and infrastructure risk with respect to the development potential of new biofuel, renewable chemical, biogas, and bioproduct plants. Investment grade ratings attract new biobased manufacturing plants to the areas where they are most likely to succeed– and create jobs. According to the Bioeconomy Development Opportunity Zone Initiative, BDO ratings have led to $1.48B in direct and indirect economic impacts to rated communities.
“Counties, municipalities, cities, towns, and industrial parks that want to attract new markets that use local abundant biomass and create clean energy jobs should consider a BDO Zone Rating.” says the initiative. “Regions that achieve ‘AAA’, ‘AA’, ‘A, or ‘BBB’ ratings are awarded a BDO Zone rating, which marks them as one of the optimal areas in the country for biobased development. Regions have the right to use the BDO Zone rating in economic development activities.” Flagstaff County says what the BDO Zone A rating means to the region is: “Enhanced Market Positioning: The Zone A rating highlights our agricultural excellence, especially in the production of wheat straw. “This could help elevate the profile of our farmers and producers on national and interna-
tional stages, potentially attracting new buyers and contracts from industries that utilize wheat straw, such as bioenergy, livestock bedding, and packaging. “Economic Growth Potential: With this rating, we are well-positioned to leverage the demand for high-quality agricultural materials. “This could attract new investments, support local job creation, and enhance trade opportunities for our community. In addition, this recognition strengthens the case for more funding or grants focused on enhancing local agricultural practices. “Sustainability & Innovation: The recognition also aligns with the County's broader commitment to sustainability. “Wheat straw is a renewable resource, and its production contributes to our goals of fostering sus-
tainable agricultural practices while reducing environmental impact. This rating may open new doors for partnerships in innovative agricultural projects, such as carbon capture initiatives or the development of biodegradable materials. “Increased Visibility: The press release will boost visibility for Flagstaff County, positioning us as a progressive agricultural region. “This recognition may draw attention from outside stakeholders, potentially spurring interest in our agricultural and rural development initiatives.” “The ‘A’ rating underscores Flagstaff County’s immense potential as a regional leader in the Continued on Page 18

Wheaties split games at home over the weekend Leslie Cholowsky Editor
Friday, Sept. 27, marked the season and home opener for the Killam Jr. B Wheat Kings. Their tryouts in early September brought a lot of familiar faces out, and this year’s team features a lot of local players. Head Coach Bob Charchun is back for the season, along with assistant coach Nick Mantai, and new Trainer Brody McDowell, joining GM Murray Gaume behind the bench. Friday’s opener saw a very special opening ceremony honouring the late Don Kueber, who played an important role in the team’s past, keeping them going. A ceremonial puck drop by Marge Kueber, and sons Alan and George Kueber, started off the game. The Rangers came out hungry, with three goals in the first period, testing new Killam netminder Ryan Stepanick, who faced 40 shots and made 34 saves. Things got a little chippy in the second period, when Vegreville got a power play goal early in the period, then a short handed goal to go ahead 5-0 at the 14 minute mark. Killam’s Blake Sitler scored on a power play goal just over a minute later, assisted by Carter Hogman and Jordan Gagnon, to make it 5-1. Jordan Gagnon scored just a minute after that, assisted by Hogman and Sawyer Fee to make it 5-2, then scored again at the six-minute mark, from Sitler and Kyler Bergseth, to make it 5-3 heading into the third period. Vegreville scored the only goal of the third period, bringing the game to a 6-3 final for the Rangers. With 167 penalty minutes, and a big fracas in the second period, this ended up being an entertaining opener for Killam. The next night the Wheaties welcomed the Onion Lake Border Chiefs with a very different outcome,

ending that game with a 13-1 victory. Gagnon ended up with 4 goals and three assists on the night, propelling him to the top of the league high scorers, with Kyler Bergseth getting two goals and three assists, and one goal each for Skylar Wallner, Cade Schatschneider, Adam Child, Keegan McArthur, Tyson Brower, and Carter Hogman (who each also got an assist), and Blake Sitler. Porter Lang, Kobi Lefsrud, and Evan Golby
gained two assists each, and Ben Lang had one assist on the night. Stepanick also played Saturday, getting his first win in goal for the Wheat Kings. October’s schedule will see the Wheat Kings back at home this weekend, hosting the St. Paul Canadiens on Friday evening with an 8 p.m. start, and hosting Vermilion on Saturday night, with a 7:30 start (check social media to confirm game time)

The minute she noticed I was getting out the special vet ear wash and the Q-tips, she ran to the door and was whining to go outside. Funny she remembers that she had the treatment before and did not enjoy it. She had the ear wash and took off out the door. An hour later she wanted in and probably thought I forgot her ears. No! no! It was a bit of a tug of war but I managed to get all sorts of debris out of her ears. Golden retrievers have so much
hair hanging around their ears that they collect dirt and much more. Thank goodness she did not have any foul odours from her ears and she still had a healthy appetite and was spunky. They are like having another child and they certainly let you know when they think they deserve a wee treat. They are smart and amazing. We love her to bits and she loves us too. Pets sure are special. Remember that the Fire and Rescue is having that open house for the community next week. Thought for the week: “Endeavour to live so that when you die, even the undertaker will be sorry.” I would appreciate some bits of news. Thank you in advance.

Daysland exploring ideas around healthy community, healthy economic growth and a potential wellness hub Leslie Cholowsky Editor Shirley Damberger and Megara Szott made a presentation to the Battle River Alliance for Economic Development about a year ago. They went to the meeting to make a presentation partially about wellness in Daysland, but also around community wellness, going in with the idea that there’s a lot of complex needs for community wellness. “But at the basic level it’s quite simple; complex, but simple,” Damberger says. “We need to have healthy communities, in aspects of physical wellness, mental wellness, social wellness, which can include intellectual and emotional, spiritual wellness, environmental wellness... Looking at it as a whole in a community. “How do well communities become economically well communities?” Damberger, who owns HOM of Well Being in Daysland, and Szott, who works at HOM as well as her own massage therapy business in Heisler, have familiarity with the business and wellness community in Daysland. Damberger says, “Out of that presentation, one of the initiatives talked about was being able to bolster what we already have in Daysland, because Daysland has such a multitude of wellness facilities and services, and how we could build on that.” From that presentation, Flagstaff County’s Economic Development Department and the Town of Daysland both got behind the idea for a regional wellness hub, “And it’s blossomed from there.” She says the hub is a unique, community based initiative that is looking at improving health and wellness in the community of Daysland while supporting economic activity and health services. “We just got together a group of business, non-profits, economic development, the municipality, and everybody spearheading and moving the initiative forward.” Damberger says the group engaged a company called Verdue Media and Communications to take the information gathering a step further, with engagement on social media, one-on-one sessions, and more, to get the word out around Daysland, to try and find out what the public’s reactions would be with regards to needs, concerns,
and gaps identified in the region. These engagements have taken the form of surveys, interviews, environmental scans, analysis on public health models, and more, she says, setting the foundation. Damberger says the group applied for Small Community Opportunity Program funding of $100,000, with a focus on attracting and retaining wellness workers, maintaining a focus on community wellness, and intended to use that funding to bring the vision down to an operational strategy moving forward. She says along the way, understanding that many of Daysland’s existing wellness services are accessed by residents of Flagstaff County and beyond, they also asked “Why do you come here? What makes it challenging to come here?” Damberger said the project has four main pillars at present. First, the group wants to augment existing resources. To do that, it must identify what it currently has, and how that might be leveraged or grown. That leads to number two, what gaps are there presently in wellness services available? “How can we provide solutions or improve wait times? Where are we challenged?” The third pillar is community involvement. “Traditionally a community has worked for what their community was missing. Back in the day that might be an arena or curling rink. “Our consultant was surprised at how eager people in Daysland were to be engaged in the process, but that’s always how our small rural communities have been.” The fourth pillar of the present stage is to enhance the visibility of the project. The initial application for grant funding was rejected, but came back with a recommendation that the group hire the consultant, and prepare some of the background that they are presently working on. “The rest of the work has come locally,” Damberger says, “There’s been a lot of volunteer time put in on a lot of people’s parts.” The grant is a 90-10 funding split, and Flagstaff County’s Ec Dev department agreed to fund $10,000, and so has advanced that to fund the consulting process.
A Wellness Hub Survey was conducted over the past few months. It explains that “The core idea of the Daysland Health and Wellness Hub is to create a culture and town that offers a wide range of health and wellness services to the residents of Daysland, surrounding communities, and beyond. “This hub will integrate physical, mental, and social health resources in one accessible location, fostering a culture of well being.” The survey approached the issue from identifying why people cared about the health and wellness in the Daysland community, and what challenges they could identify, along with what opportunities were seen. With the survey results, interview and community feedback received so far, the next step of the project is an open house coming up on Oct. 16, which Damberger says will be a great opportunity for everyone to find out more about the project, as well as another opportunity to provide feedback or ideas. Damberger says there will also be an opportunity for open house visitors to interact with other health and wellness resources from around the region. “We are hoping that when we are finished the information-gathering stage, we will have identified any missing services, and will be able to
prioritize what to go forward with.” She says the open house is open to anyone who is interesting in learning more about the project, or to wellness providers who are interested in the idea, and to existing wellness providers in the Daysland area. Shirley says that the survey results highlighted people’s priorities and main concerns, and it’s this information that can really be used to develop a strategic operational plan. “It’s a way to determine what our path forward, and what our focus, will be,” says Damberger. She says there have been many great ideas floated, and that having a plan and a specific focus will take the project forward. At present the group behind this initiative are an informal gathering of interested parties ranging from business people, to health sector parties, to private sector parties, and even elected officials. Damberger says one of the first priorities would be to formalize the status of the group. She says there’s still an opportunity for community members to be involved, especially at this stage where any and all volunteers would be welcome. The group is on social media at ‘Daysland Health and Wellness Hub,’ where you can keep track of upcoming events, learn how to get involved, and track the progress of the initiative.
Shirley Damberger of the HOM of Well Being started the Daysland Health and Wellness Hub conversation with a presentation to Battle River Alliance for Economic Development (BRAED) a year ago with co-worker Megara Szott, opening a conversation about wellness, community wellness, and economic development opportunities around both.

based industrial manufacturing but also pave the way for sustainable economic growth and a prosperous future.” BDOZ says in it’s own news release that the Flagstaff County BDO Zone is the first rating in the Province of Alberta for Wheat Straw and extends a 120-km drive distance from the center point in Forestburg. “Flagstaff County’s ‘A’ rating signifies exceptional prospective viability for feedstock supply and infrastructure, coupled with minimal default risk in the Zone. “The region boasts robust support for new biobased plant operations, underpinned by a multi-generational legacy of wheat production and wheat straw harvesting. “Local producers are eager to
participate in sustainable and mutually profitable wheat straw initiatives. Notably, there is no competition for wheat straw within the BDO Zone, further enhancing its appeal. “Additionally, the investmentready greenfield industrial park makes Flagstaff County the ideal location for biobased projects requiring a reliable supply of wheat straw biomass.” Jordan Solomon, Chairman of the BDO Zone Initiative, added, “As the first ‘A’ Rating for agricultural residues in Alberta, this BDO Zone highlights Flagstaff County’s proactive approach to harnessing nearly half a million tons of abundant, sustainable wheat straw to unlock new markets for this underutilized biomass.”

OPINION
Food insecurity at record levels as economy shrinks Earlier this month, Feed Ontario (formerly the Ontario Association of Food Banks) disclosed that over a million residents in Ontario, Canada’s wealthiest province, sought assistance from food banks over the past year. A million people. That’s essentially Nova Scotia’s entire population. This revelation is in stark contrast to the situation south of the border. In 2023, while 13.5 percent of American households grappled with food insecurity – characterized by low or very low food security – the rate in Canada was significantly higher at 22.9 percent. This suggests that food insecurity in Canada is a staggering 69.6 percent more prevalent than in the United States – a profoundly unsettling statistic. The challenge of affording food in Canada is exacerbated by anemic food sales, particularly stark when compared to the United States, where grocery store sales increased by 1.8 percent in the last 12 months, according to U.S. Federal Reserve Economic Data. In stark contrast, Canadian grocery store sales have plummeted by a worrying 3.2 percent, according to Statistics Canada. One plausible explanation for this disparity lies in the higher interest rates in Canada, which likely impose a heavier burden on Canadian households than on their American counterparts, given that the average debt per household is considerably higher in Canada. The Bank of Canada’s pathway to achieving a more stable inflation rate without detrimentally affecting Canadians appears much narrower than that of the U.S. Federal Reserve, evidenced by the harsh reality of 10 consecutive rate hikes last year, compelling Canadians to economize, particularly on food expenditures. It is becoming increasingly clear that Canada’s per capita economy is shrinking, lacking the wealth growth seen in the U.S. According to World Bank data, in 2002, when Jean Chretien was prime minister, the U.S. GDP per capita was 56.6 percent higher than Canada’s. The current gap, at 53.07 percent, is perilously close to this historical peak. The main drivers of GDP growth in Canada are currently immigration and public spending, with the government shouldering much of the economic burden. The situation is becoming increasingly dire. Moreover, the early enthusiasm for the Trudeau administration’s push for a green economy is fading. The carbon tax, Trudeau’s principal policy for fostering an eco-friendly economy, is losing support due to ongoing economic struggles. Even within the federal NDP and the BC NDP government, growing voices are questioning whether the carbon tax is the best way forward. The failures of the carbon tax reflect a broader trend in recent policymaking: the adoption of populist policies devoid of rigorous metrics to measure their long-term success, paired with extensive communication campaigns aimed at convincing Canadians of their value. The federal carbon tax is set to rise to $95 per metric ton by April 2025, with a target of $170 per metric ton by 2030. Despite mounting pressure, the Trudeau government has failed to evaluate whether this policy effectively reduces emissions or to assess its long-term economic impact, especially on the agri-food sector, from farm to table. The design of the rebate system ostensibly allows Canadians to overlook the real costs of this poorly conceived policy. However, administering this massive program is not only costly but also fails to leverage the Canadian economy effectively. It is imperative to devise policies that genuinely foster both economic and environmental sustainability for the nation. - Troy Media Dr. Sylvain Charlebois Dr. Sylvain Charlebois, a Canadian professor and researcher specializing in food distribution and policy, is a senior director of the Agri-Food Analytics Lab at Dalhousie University and co-host of The Food

Hon. Damien Kurek Battle River-Crowfoot Member of Parliament
Why documents matter There has been a lot of news about confidence votes in Parliament as of late. While these votes make headlines, they have, so far, not forced an election. Regardless, Conservatives will keep working to bring accountability back to the Government of Canada. Constituents of Battle River – Crowfoot have shared many reasons why an election is needed, from the carbon tax to scandals to poor economic management. And among those reasons is an erosion of trust in our institutions due to the disregard this Prime Minister and his cabinet have towards the will of Parliament and Canadians. This was highlighted again this past week when the Speaker of the House of Commons found the Liberal Government in violation of the Members’ privilege by refusing to disclose documents relating to a scandal with Sustainable Development Technologies Canada (SDTC). The background of this is that Liberals appointees gave themselves and their own companies millions in contracts, and even senior civil servants have slammed the contracting as “outright incompetence.” We are pushing for an election to restore accountability and transparency. Recent scandals, like SDTC and Arrive Scam, have eroded the country’s trust in the Liberals and have damaged our very institutions. These actions are breaches of ethics and betrayals of public trust. There is much to fix in this country. However, Canada can be rebuilt. Common Sense Conservatives are committed to doing the hard work which will restore trust. It’s not just about getting documents from the Government; it is about respecting Parliament. Canadians are tired of the lack of accountability and the erosion of trust in our government. It used to be that even if you did not like the party in charge, we could trust the institutions which govern us. This trust in our institutions is fundamental to a healthy democracy. Without it, we risk losing the very fabric holding our society together and the democracy that we depend on. The recent violation of privilege underscores the importance of the people's voices in Parliament as it should be in our Westminster parliamentary system, not the current Prime Ministerial supremacy in play. We envision a future where trust is restored and the government works for Canadians, not for insiders and special interests. In the words of Pierre Poilievre: “...bring home the promise of Canada, where a powerful paycheck pays for affordable food, gas, homes, and safe neighborhoods where anyone from anywhere can do anything. The biggest and most open land of opportunity the world has ever seen, that is our vision.” The Conservative Party is committed to ensuring every Canadian can succeed. This includes enacting policies which promote economic growth, reduce the cost of living, and ensure safe communities. We believe in a Canada where hard work is rewarded, and everyone has the chance to achieve their dreams. And when it comes to combatting ethical violations, this is key to restoring the loss of trust in our institutions; I am proud to stand with Conservative Shadow Minister of Ethics, Michael Barrett, whose Private Member’s Bill C-405 would give jail time for people who lie to Parliament. Documents matter not only in getting to the bottom of scandals but in restoring trust in our institutions. That is why Conservatives won’t stop pushing for answers. As your Member of Parliament, I won’t stop working for you, pushing for an election, and ensuring we can get back to a place of trust in the foundational institutions of our country. Thank you for the honour of serving you in Parliament and every day.

MLA Jackie Lovely runs into some local faces at AM Convention in Red Deer last week Leslie Cholowsky Editor
Alberta’s municipalities met last week at the annual fall convention of Alberta Municipalities (AM) in Red Deer. AM is the association for all member urban municipalities in the province of Alberta (formerly Alberta Urban Municipalities Association). Over 300 of Alberta’s 334 municipalities are members of AM. The Convention ran from Wednesday, Sept. 25, to Friday, Sept. 27. Besides providing many valuable resources and opportunities for connections for municipalities, AM also plays an important role in lobbying the province for urban municipality’s interests. This year, the AM put 27 different resolutions before its members at convention. Some of these included: allowance of automated vote counting systems in municipal elections; an FFCS funding increase; Full-time 24-hour home care support in Lodges/supportive living; the need for funding for Regional Economic Development Alliances; and much more. Resolutions are issues brought forward by one or more members and must be adopted by a majority of member municipalities registered for the convention. A resolution is approved by a simple majority of votes. Once a resolution passes, the AM will engage with the correct provincial ministry on behalf of all the urban municipalities and lobby for changes to policies, budgets, and more. For example, one long-standing resolution of member municipalities is infrastructure funding, where AM is calling on the province to increase base local government fiscal framework funding from $722 million per year to $1.75 billion per year. The Alberta Municipalities Convention also allows delegates, elected officials from any member community, the opportunity to meet formally and informally with MLAs, this year’s panel included Ministers Ric McIver, Mike Ellis, Mikey Amery, Adriana LaGrange, Muhammad Yaseen, Demetrios Nicolaides, Rajan Sawhney, Searle Turon, Rebecca Schulz, Jason Nixon, Pete Guthhrie, Nate Horner, Devin Dreeshen and RJ Sigurdson, who all were panel members taking questions, or, like Camrose’s Jackie Lovely, meeting local councillors informally to discuss local projects. Ministers came prepared with talking points on a wide range of issues brought forward by municipalities. Premier Danielle Smith also addressed delegates, announcing new low-cost loans for municipalities,which is an issue Alberta Municipalities has, through resolutions, been advocating for over a number of years. Delegates also heard from Alberta NDP leader Naheed Nenshi. This September Alberta Municipalities had some vacancies on its board of directors, with Amisk Mayor Bill Rock being elected by acclamation as Director, Villages East. Rural municipalities have their own association, the Rural Municipalities Association (RMA) which plays a similar role as AM, but whose members are rural communities, like counties, municipal districts, and special areas.
Lovely also ran into the Forestburg delegation in Red Deer, including Mayor Blaise Young and councillors Elaine Fossen and Dwayne Giroux.
Camrose MLA Jackie Lovely attended last week’s Alberta Municipalities fall convention in Red Deer, held Wednesday, Sept 25 to Friday, Sept. 27. While there, she ran into just a few of the local councils who sent delegates. Above: Hardisty Council delegates included Julie Pasztor, Christine Ruzicka Drager, Wade Kroening, Brett Baumgartner, and CAO Bobbi Usselman. Below, Sedgewick delegates met with Lovely and Ric McIver, including CAO Sean Mascaluk and Mayor Stephen Levy.
