A new report commissioned by the Alberta government says the City of Medicine Hat has been hobbled for years by a hostile dysfunctional city hall and something must be done.

“The governance function of the city is ineffective and is characterized by rancour, suspicion and accusations,” stated the report, authored by Ian McCormack and released by the Alberta government on Monday.

New Beef Cattle Research Council chair at the U of M to focus on best environmental practices and economic viability

A new beef-focused research chair will soon begin work at the University of Manitoba.

The 10-year role has been named the BCRC Chair in Beef Cattle Economic Sustainability.

“I believe this is the fourth chair position that we’ve developed,” said Craig Lehr, chair of the BCRC’s producer council.

Now that the British government has vowed to lower its voting age to 16 by the next general election, one Canadian senator says it's past time for Canada to do the same.

The U.K. announced last week that it would lower its voting age from 18 to 16 in a bid to strengthen British democracy and restore trust in politics.

Sen. Marilou McPhedran said the issue has been her "top parliamentary priority" since she joined the Red Chamber. She said lowering the voting age to 16 would be good for democracy and that the only arguments against it are "based on stereotypes."

Carnie's Comments

I was talking about daylight earlier today. For the first time in about 6 weeks, I had to turn a light on to see my keys and take them off the hook and lock the deadbolt on my way out of the house this morning. The days are getting shorter and that makes me sad.

So, as I tried to keep my chin up, I thought about all the great days still to come.

The Saskatchewan Day long weekend is just days away - it's August 2nd, 3rd and 4th.

Then we get the Labour Day long weekend. The holiday Monday is September 1st.
