You know it’s true. They know it’s true. Alberta meat is just superior. This superior product will get yet another upgrade when it arrives at The Butchery Block in Cochrane.

Butcher and owner Shane Wolbaum opened this business only a few years ago, pursuing his passion through partnerships with like-minded craftspeople and local ranches.

“It’s superior because of the local ranchers. They’re taking care of these animals properly- they’re not just another number. Plus, everything is local.”

Environment and Climate Change Canada has issued a Snowfall Warning as a result.  

The snowfall is expected to taper off by later this morning.

Drivers are reminded to exercise caution on area roads as visibility may become suddenly reduced to near zero. 

The warning is also in effect for Airdrie, Olds, and Sundre.

If no political party is willing to say uncle, the drawn-out stalemate in the House of Commons is heading for an unprecedented situation that could amount to a tacit lack of confidence in the government, without anyone in Parliament casting a vote. 

The Conservatives and Bloc Québécois have already announced plans to try to bring down the government and trigger an election with a non-confidence motion at the next opportunity. But there's no telling when that opportunity will come, because the House has been gridlocked in a filibuster for more than a month.
