How are we in Saskatchewan doing with life expectancy through COVID? Pretty awful, actually.

Wow, Calgary! Nearly 300 packed the iconic Legion #1 last night.
94 years ago in this very room, AB/prairie farmers, faith leaders, and workers founded the CCF, predecessor of the NDP.
Today we're going back to our roots as a movement of movements.

The ridiculous thing is how many Americans have NO IDEA why tourism is down.
Canadian land travel to the United States dropped almost 31% last year. Hopefully the trend will continue in 2026!
Canadian land travel to the U.S. fell more than 30% in 2025 | CBC News
