We’ll be discussing K-12 education, Alberta’s relationship with Ottawa, energy policy, and more.

  • The most complete and well-preserved triceratops skull ever found in Canada is now on display at The Royal Tyrrell Museum in Drumheller as part of the "Fossils in Focus" exhibit. Discovered in 2014, the skull is nearly two metres long by spent over 6,500 hours preparing the fossil, which weighs almost 500 kilograms.
  • Provincial politicians are set to travel to Germany to gain insights into the country's energy transition plans. The trip, scheduled from October 8th to 14th, will involve Shane Getson, MLA for Lac Ste. Anne-Parkland, and Garth Rowswell, MLA for Vermilion-Lloydminster-Wainwright, along with Canadian and U.S. lawmakers. They aim to learn from Germany's experiences as it navigates an energy crisis triggered by factors such as the war in Ukraine and a shift away from nuclear power, while planning to transition to renewables by 2050.
