RCMP Athabasca Integrated Traffic Unit

On Saturday March 9, 2019 a joyous reunion was held at the RCMP detachment in Athabasca, Alberta.  After nearly a week at large, a Toy stuffed cat was returned to her 18 month old owner.

On Monday March 4, 2019 members of the Alberta Sheriffs, Athabasca RCMP Traffic Unit and Athabasca Community Peace Officers were conducting a childseat compliance operation in Athabasca, Alberta. Passing vehicles were screened, and if a childseat was present, they were directed into a nearby lot to ensure they were installed, and being used properly and safely. At the conclusion of the operation two of the officers observed a toy stuffed cat laying in the snow in the parking lot where the vehicles were being examined. An investigation was began, and with the assistance from their media partners, the Sheriffs and Mounties were able to locate and make contact with the mother of 18 month old Charlie of Athabasca, Alberta, who was missing her “Kitty” terribly.

Charlie and her mother attended the Athabasca detachment to find that “Kitty” had quite the adventure, and while working alongside Sheriffs and Mounties in their patrol cars for the entire week posted many events to social media. As Charlie approached a police truck with it’s lights flashing, “Kitty” could be seen sitting inside wearing some Sheriff and RCMP kit. Charlie began to excitedly yell “Kitty, Kitty” and pointed to the inside of the police truck. Once inside, the reunion commenced with a fury of hugs and kisses for the missing beloved “Kitty”. After some photos with local officers, Charlie, her mother and “Kitty” then happily left the detachment to spend the day, reunited again.

After 15 years as a TV reporter with Global and CBC and as news director of RDTV in Red Deer, Duane set out on his own 2008 as a visual storyteller. During this period, he became fascinated with a burgeoning online world and how it could better serve local communities. This fascination led to Todayville, launched in 2016.

Is There Any Canadian Province More Proud of their Premier Today…

Published on

 

Prior to Trumps inauguration event and announcement was made that Trump would not be imposing the 25% tariffs…

Which means, Canada seriously dodged a bullet here.

And while the Liberals will most likely frame this as, their success in showing, Bad Orange Man, that they’re tough and ready to burn down what is left of our economy, throwing Alberta under the bus, first…through a nuclear option…

Premier Smith rode this challenge out like the true champion we knew that she would be.

It’s hard to say if this was a legality matter in the grander scheme…or if the 25% tariffs would have truly been as big of an impact on the US…

One thing is clear, however…

Smith was ready to go to the tables with the Trump administration and opt for diplomacy over threats…which should be what we expect from our leaders.

And should these 25% tariffs have gone through…I’m more than sure a Plan B would have been brought out in civil conversations, over screeching rhetoric.

“She’s treasonous”, they screeched.

“She’s supporting her friends in Oil and Gas”, they relent.

“She should put Canada first”, they echo…

And let’s just address these…

Is Walmart beholden to Campbells soup? Fruit of the Loom? Kraft?

Or does Walmart sell products that helps keep their doors open?

Walmart is not beholden to any product…just like Premier Smith isn’t. We have 26% of our GDP – the largest portion – owed to Alberta O&G, something that we have a limited trade partner with, due to the Liberal – Anti-Alberta/Anti-O&G/Anti-Pipeline attitude that wants to spend us further in debt with unreliable and expensive “Renewables”.

What does Alberta get from renewables?

A higher cost for energy, in an affordability crisis, created by the same people who continue to push them…sounds like a terrible deal, for Albertans, and something a true leader would Not Favor.


When Walmart sits down to hash out a deal with Heinz, are they committing treason because they haven’t shown their allegiance to their own, ‘Great Value’ brand Ketchup?

No…other provinces have their own industries and resources, which they are free to continue developing independent of the federal government, as is suitable and supportive of their own economies…Alberta isn’t competing with them, nor Canada as a whole.

Alberta through industry and resource, actually supports Canada through a grand imbalance on “Equalization Payments”…

As do we through paying 50% more into the Canada Pension Plan, than we actually get out of the Canada Pension Plan…to the tune of a $334 Billion Dollars.


And as for this “Team Canada”, horseshit…

The title Premier of Alberta, should hold some clues as to who Premier Smith should be advocating for…as she is the Premier of Alberta and Not the Prime Minister, nor leader in the Liberal Party that has created this fiasco, to begin with.

Rail, as they may…other provinces can’t cast a vote in her support, either way…

None of the other provinces, through Members of Parliament, nor through Premiers, came to support Alberta and our economy through a number of Federal Bills that railed on our provincial resources…

Worse yet…these hypocrites cash cheques from our province, while telling us how to diversify our economy…to which I’d state one thing unequivocally…

If we wanted to be a Have Not Province…like you are…we’ll come and ask you for your advice.

Until then…

I’ll hold my Alberta Flag Higher than my Canadian…

And be proud today, of having the only Premier in the country of Canada, worthy of any praise today!
