2026/07/27

A Cold Lake café owner, John Ewanek, shut down his 25-year-old business after hosting separatist events that alienated customers and musicians. Though he bought the café just this year, the backlash proved fatal. His story mirrors a broader cultural rift in Alberta, where a petition for separation gathered over 223,000 signatures — enough to force Premier Danielle Smith to put a referendum on the ballot. Ewanek, a self-described separatist who opposed pandemic restrictions, plans to vote for a

2026/07/27

Alberta’s healthcare is shifting gears: starting Friday, residents can pay out-of-pocket for MRIs and ultrasounds without a doctor’s referral—and if cancer is found, they might get reimbursed. Hospitals decide if they’ll offer this private option and how it’s run. It’s part of a broader plan to bring private services into public care, with surgeries like hip and knee replacements also soon to be available privately for some doctors. While the goal is to cut wait times and boost choice, critics

Alberta’s government is launching a bold new plan to slash wait times for medical imaging — starting Friday, adults (or teens with parental consent) can pay out-of-pocket or via private insurance for MRIs, CT scans, ultrasounds, and X-rays. Aimed at boosting early detection and easing public system pressure, the move lets patients self-refer — but critics warn it could deepen healthcare inequality, creating a two-tier system that leaves low-income patients behind.

2026/07/27

Climate change is literally making our days longer—by a tiny fraction of a second per century—thanks to melting polar ice shifting water toward the equator and slowing Earth’s spin. This human-driven effect now outweighs the moon’s gravitational influence, with serious implications for GPS and spacecraft navigation. It’s a jaw-dropping reminder that our fossil fuel habits are reshaping planetary physics, even something as constant as the length of a day. Listen in comfort:Get a discount

A new TD Economics report casts doubt on the government’s rosy projections for the Trans Mountain pipeline, slashing Canada’s expected economic gain from 0.6% to 0.3% and Alberta’s from 3.5% to 2%—but still calling it a meaningful boost. The $35–44 billion project, aimed at shipping a million barrels daily to Asia, faces headwinds: slowing Asian demand due to EVs and cleaner energy, plus stiff competition from cheaper Russian oil.

A major Canadian philanthropist, Gail Asper, is pulling funding from the Canadian Museum for Human Rights over its new exhibit “Palestine Uprooted,” which she claims omits critical historical context about Jewish displacement from Arab countries in 1948—potentially fueling antisemitism.
