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.

The Truth They Don’t Want You to Hear
For over 100 years, Alberta has been treated like Ottawa’s colony. We’ve been stripped of wealth, muzzled by regulation, and told to sit quietly while Eastern politicians decide our fate.
