We are home, horses are fed and reflecting on what a great (short) trip it was attending the UCP - AGM. I was thrilled to meet our locals warriors and finally put faces to names. I have heard said that you are never supposed to meet your heroes for fear of disappointment but that was not the case this weekend. You are all my heroes and just as incredible as I expected you would be. I am grateful you chose to join our page here and continue to share and engage, you guys are truly my sane space in an insane world…thank you.

Spent the day in Alberta's mountains.
Had tea overlooking a sublime view of glaciers, the Bow Valley, and Lake Louise. It was great, after getting some altitude and above the Lake, which was absolutely PACKED with foreigners.
Parking was impossible, so even the access roads were lined with wandering non-citizens abusing Mark Carney's Canada Strong Pass. It should be called India's All-Access Pass. Local Albertans can't use their own damn park, let alone other Canadians. Parking for Canadians was $40. FOURTY. It was free for the bus loads of non-Canadians.
To make matters worse, the abuse of the natural environment was unreal. Garbage in the trees. People ripping tree branches down to use as walking sticks. People screaming into a livestream on a quiet forest trail to their family back home.
America charges foreigners to go to Yellowstone and Yosemite. I can see why.
Total disrespect for the most beautiful place on earth, and for the taxpayers that pay to keep it ...
