Edmonton’s bike lane feedback portal sparked fierce debate, with early responses split nearly down the middle—half supporting, half opposing the province’s push. Critics slammed the plan for clogging traffic, stealing parking, and hurting seniors’ mobility, while calling it a “climate change scam” compared to fixing potholes. Supporters countered that bike lanes are underfunded, reduce congestion, boost health and local business, and shouldn’t be sidelined by provincial overreach. Transportation Minister Devin Dreeshen insists roads won’t shrink—instead, he’s eyeing new laws to separate bikes from cars via trails. Over 13,000 responses later, the government says they’ll fund safe, well-planned infrastructure—but opponents call the polling meaningless, demanding focus on affordability and healthcare instead.

Alberta’s rolling out a “care-first” auto insurance model in 2027 designed to simplify and slash costs—but it’s sparking a fierce debate over victims’ rights. Under the plan, suing for pain and suffering after accidents will be severely restricted, with court access limited to cases involving criminal offenses or major violations. Personal injury lawyers are pushing back, arguing that even expanding litigation for life-altering injuries from reckless driving would be better than the current proposal, which they say excludes nearly everyone. The government insists its focus is on delivering savings while balancing protection for injured drivers, but the Insurance Bureau of Canada warns that more litigation could hike premiums and undo those savings. Lawyer Mark McCourt contends there are smarter ways to cut costs without stripping accident victims of their legal recourse. The projected savings? Around $297 per vehicle annually—but the real question remains: how much should Albertans sacrifice in legal rights for lower premiums?

Archaeologists in Calgary have uncovered a treasure trove at John Ware’s homestead, revealing everyday artifacts from the late 1800s—including Levi’s hardware, a pearl button, and even a toothbrush—deep beneath a cellar. Led by UCalgary’s Lindsay Amundsen-Meyer, this dig is rewriting history for Alberta’s first Black settlers, filling gaps left by scarce records with tangible evidence of daily life. The finds, headed to the Royal Alberta Museum, could soon be displayed at Glenbow—with funding critical to continuing the excavation. Filmmaker Cherly Foggo calls it a powerful moment: finally, archaeology confirms the lived reality of Black pioneers on the prairies, long overlooked.

Canada’s rushing to buy Saab’s GlobalEye surveillance planes amid growing concerns that the deal may compromise military readiness — but officials argue it’s a necessary trade-off for jobs, economic boost, and global alliances. The aircraft falls short of full operational needs, prompting urgent upgrades like enhanced radar and in-flight refueling — changes Saab says it can deliver. Critics warn this haste could expose Canada to future risks, while the government insists balancing defense, industry, and diplomacy is key — and they’re calling the shots.

Canada’s secret war plans exposed: newly released cabinet documents reveal Ottawa was ready to deploy naval forces into combat during the 2003 Iraq invasion — even as Prime Minister Chrétien publicly refused to join the U.S. without UN approval. Ministers wrestled with moral dilemmas, troop commitments in Afghanistan, and fears of fueling terrorism — all while knowing the U.S. had no WMDs. The military stood prepared to act, but ethics and diplomacy ultimately held sway.

When elite trail runner Hillary Gerardi describes skyrunning, she’s not just talking about running—she’s describing a high-stakes, adrenaline-fueled dance on razor-thin mountain ridges where one misstep can be fatal. Her friend Kalie McCrystal, a seasoned skyrunner from Squamish, vanished on the Italian side of the Matterhorn during a record attempt—and despite her proven track record on that exact route, no one knows what happened. With search efforts stalled and the terrain nearly impossible to navigate, Gerardi reflects on how this extreme sport demands total presence, turning every step into meditation… until it doesn’t.
