A 33-year-old woman from Bonnyville is facing multiple charges after Airdrie RCMP seized a large quantity of suspected drugs during a traffic stop on Highway 2 early Saturday morning.

"On May 3, 2025, at approximately 3 a.m., an Airdrie RCMP officer conducted a traffic stop on a motorist on Highway 2," RCMP said in a news release. "During the stop, the officer made observations that the lone female driver may be in possession of a controlled substance."

Upcoming Airdrie Country Star Hayley Isabel was recently featured on the Family Channel.

According to her, the channel approached her asking if they could do a small segment about her in their "We Are Family" show.

Prime Minister Mark Carney will be watched closely by Canadians infuriated by Donald Trump — and by an anxious business community looking for tariff relief — when he meets with the U.S. president Tuesday in Washington.

After months of Trump's annexation threats, the newly elected prime minister will be tasked with a delicate balancing act — showing strength while maintaining Canada's place in a critical North American trade pact the president's tariffs have sought to upend.
