We have a deal. Tonight, the City of Calgary and the big Stampede tent operators reached a win-win agreement that delivers even stronger late night noise protections for nearby residents.
Before I explain what each side gained, let's talk about why this matters.
Over the last few years, the tents received special exemptions far beyond what existed before 2019. Live music ran until almost 2 a.m. People reported shaking windows, rattling shelves, property damage, public disorder, and excessive intoxication outside their homes.
So this year we introduced new rules that were still more permissive than anywhere else in North America. We moved weeknight live music to end at midnight, kept weekend hours the same, and reduced allowable bass and volume.
The operators had concerns. They told me lower sound limits could affect performance quality and make it harder to attract artists. We also reviewed the hundreds of thousands of dollars they invested in new sound technology to better direct noise away from neighbours. Most importantly, they showed a real willingness to compromise and even give up financially.
So here's the deal.
The City agreed to restore pre-midnight sound levels to last year's limits while keeping bass lower than last year, because it’s all about that bass. Bass generated the most complaints.
In return, the operators agreed that live music will end at midnight on weekends too. That means giving up some of their busiest and most profitable hours out of genuine respect for their neighbours.
Compared to last year, bass is lower, live music ends every single night at midnight instead of 1:30 a.m., and weeknight activity wraps up by 1 a.m. instead of 2 a.m.
So we let Calgary be a little noisier before midnight, back to what it was last year. The operators made big investments and gave up their latest night programming. Together, we found a fair compromise that lets Calgary celebrate while giving neighbours a much quieter night.
Now let’s have an incredible Stampede. Support our local businesses, enjoy the music, welcome visitors from around the world, and show everyone why Calgary is the greatest festival city on Earth!
Time for Unions to start representing members instead of playing politics.

After the Bearspaw South Feedermain (BPSFM) Independent Report identified key factors leading to the water crisis, many of you are rightfully asking - what's next and what is Council doing?
#yyccc
#Calgarians were fed up with with the activism happening at #yyccc and elected this council to restore our expectations.
Services over causes.
Undue the damage the previous administrations have done.
RESTORE ACCOUNTABILITY!
Start from the top!
Show us we elected the right people!

The most troubling trend exposed this year has been the secrecy surrounding everything the BC government is doing on land use.
Much of what’s hidden can’t even be accessed through a media request or FOI, leading public interest groups like PLUS and PHARA to expose through our work what should never have been hidden.
🔹DRIPA - 2025 YEAR IN REVIEW 🔹
2025 was a turbulent year for Indigenous rights, land claims, and DRIPA implementation in British Columbia. From court rulings to land back agreements, Indigenous stewardship and reconciliation continued to reshape the province. Here’s an overview of some of the major rulings, legislative moves, controversies, and debates that defined 2025.
▪️Joffre Lakes closures: Visitor access restricted again under Indigenous stewardship decisions.
▪️shíshálh Nation Foundation Agreement (Sunshine Coast): Revealed after four months of secrecy, raising transparency questions.
▪️Haida Gwaii land agreement: Aboriginal title granted across Haida Gwaii, followed by a court order giving the agreement constitutional protection.
▪️Squamish Land Use Agreement: Secured 20,000 hectares of legally protected land for cultural practices, harvesting, and stewardship.
▪️Kamloops Indigenous Land Claim: Seeking Aboriginal title over roughly 12,543 sq km of traditional territory, including Crown lands, private property, roads, and minerals.
▪️Wilps ‘Wii K’aax claim: Gitxsan stewardship over 214,000+ hectares, asserting jurisdiction including airspace consent.
▪️Syilx Okanagan legal challenge: UBC professors pushed back on land acknowledgments in court.
▪️Street and bridge renaming: Public infrastructure increasingly required to adopt Indigenous names.
▪️Okanagan Falls name change: Province disclosed after incorporation approval that the official name may need to reflect Indigenous heritage and culture.
▪️Port Coquitlam claim: Kwikwetlem First Nation’s land and jurisdiction dispute remained active.
▪️Snuneymuxw reserve expansion: 195 acres were added to reserve lands.
▪️Heritage Conservation Act overhaul: Provincial consultation drew criticism from both Indigenous and non-Indigenous groups.
▪️Land acknowledgments and labels: Tensions rose as non-Indigenous residents were increasingly described as “settlers,” “colonizers,” or “uninvited guests” on “stolen” land.
▪️Undisclosed land claims: Government has not listed ongoing court cases despite requests, leaving the status of active claims unclear.
Is this the trajectory we want for 2026—more litigation, expanding Indigenous governance, and intensifying debates over transparency, property rights, and access? DRIPA continues to reshape provincial law.
Reconciliation matters—but 2025 proved DRIPA doesn’t work. British Columbians need a 2026 built on transparency, fairness, and a sustainable future.

TAXPAYER ALERT ‼️
Since 2013, the Canadian government has awarded 613 contracts worth $16.2 BILLION to Brookfield Global Integrated Solutions (BGIS) to manage federal properties.

👀 Now the optics:
Former Brookfield chair Mark Carney is Prime Minister — with assets in a blind trust.
Efficiency?
Or insider enrichment?

Perhaps nothing is getting done because the federally-funded Canadian Climate Institute is run out of this 12x14ft office downtown Toronto with ZERO employees working at 2:30pm.

Most of Canada is ceded territory, meaning First Nations legally surrendered their land rights through treaties, retaining only limited rights like hunting and consultation. I’m surprised more politicians and reporters don’t call out chiefs who exaggerate their authority and rights. #CanadaisBroken
AFN Chief Woodhouse Nepinak takes a swing at Metis "That's another reason outstanding first nations treaty rights must be reconciled before others because Metis rights do not include rights over first nations lands, territories and resources."
"First nations, with the exception of the Inuit, are the only true landowners of these traditional territories."
On Carney "He's going to have to sit there and he's going to have to listen to chiefs as they approach that mic."
"And that MIC can get pretty heated when it comes to politicians up there." @chiefcindyafn

The mass hypnosis in Canada is symptomatic of a society that has been lied to and manipulated by its leaders for the last decade…
In 2021, we were told that mass graves of murdered Indigenous children had been found in Kamloops, BC, at the site of a former residential school.
The Washington Post reported that bodies of children as young as 3 years old had been discovered in a mass grave.
Soon, other Indigenous communities across Canada were making similar claims — that murdered children had been found using ground-penetrating radar.
Hysteria gripped Canada.
Monuments of sneakers representing murdered kids went up across the country.
The Canadian flag at Parliament in Ottawa flew at half mast for 6 months.
Billions of dollars were set aside as ‘reconciliation’ for a non-existent genocide of Indigenous children.
A new national holiday was announced — National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
And to date, more than 100 Christian churches have been burned in response.
All of it was a lie.
There has never been a shred of evidence that these are graves. Where excavation has been done in Canada, they found nothing.
In other places, the Indigenous leaders refuse to dig because they know the money will dry up, and this will be exposed as the biggest fraud in Canadian history.
This documentary tells the truth about it all, including how private land is now being given away to Indigenous people by politicians and judges, who insist we are on stolen land.
Nobody stole Canada. We built Canada. Together.
