Opposing PM Trudeau, Red Deer MP Blaine Calkins takes to song…


This week Red Deer MP Blaine Calkins took to Facebook and recorded a little ditty that’s been seen over 70,000 times so far.
Here’s his post.. and the video he made of what appears to be an original song!
Holding the Liberals to accountWe’re voting, 338 MPs, 268 times, over 10,000 ‘peoplekind’ hours, all so the Prime Minister can deny democratically elected MPs from questioning the National Security Advisor, one individual, for one hour at committee.
What on earth is Trudeau hiding? His trip to India failed. His explanations as to the presence of a convicted attempted murderer have failed, and now his attempt to cover it all up should fail too.
The incompetence is staggering.

Flames sign Kadri to 7-year, $49-million deal, trade Monahan to Canadiens
CALGARY — The Calgary Flames have signed forward Nazem Kadri to a seven-year, US$49-million deal.
The 32-year-old Kadri was one of the biggest names available in free agency after an all-star season with Colorado that ended with the Avalanche winning the Stanley Cup.
Kadri had 28 goals and 59 assists in 71 games for the Avalanche in 2021-22.
He added 15 points in 16 playoff games, including the overtime winner in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup final against Tampa Bay.
That was his return to action after being injured in Game 3 of the Western Conference final after being hit from behind by Edmonton forward Evander Kane.
The Flames also sent forward Sean Monahan and a conditional 2025 first-round pick to the Montreal Canadiens for future considerations in a move to create salary cap space for Kadri’s contract.

Wolf found dead by roadside, another missing after B.C. zoo escape
ALDERGROVE — The Greater Vancouver Zoo says one of the wolves that escaped their enclosure this week has been found dead on a roadside, and that second wolf is still missing.
The zoo in Aldergrove, B.C., has been shut for three days while workers and conservation officers searched for the wolves, which Langley RCMP suspect got loose when someone deliberately damaged the animals’ enclosure.
The zoo’s deputy general manager Menita Prasad says both the wolf enclosure and the zoo’s perimeter fence had been deliberately cut.
More coming.
