Celebrating Canada's Golden Jubilee this year - Red Deer Express
Thursday, January 12, 2017Red Deer to Rocky Mountain House on July 2nd. Time was taken for stops to make speeches of thanks and celebration at the various communities along the rail line, such as Sylvan Lake, Eckville, Condor and Alhambra. The Red Deer Citizens’ Band went along to make sure that there was lots of festive music at each stop.
Once in Rocky Mountain House, there was a full day’s schedule of sports competitions. These included foot races, track and field events, tug-of-war contests and a special baseball game between Red Deer and Rocky Mountain House.
The afternoon was capped with a lavish picnic, accompanied, of course, by performances by the Red Deer Citizens’ Band and lots of rousing political speeches by Edward Michener and his political allies.
As to be expected, all of the speeches were full of reminders that Confederation had been accomplished in 1867 under that leadership of the Conservative Prime Minister, Sir John A. MacDonald.
Despite the success of these special celebrations, Edward Michener resigned his seat a few months later and was appointed as Red Deer’s first and only member of the Senate by Conservative Prime Minister, Sir Robert Borden.

Convoy evokes Canadian pride in North Bay - Vermilion Standard
Wednesday, March 27, 2019Monday afternoon.Caron, of North Bay, was waiting in the parking lot at Motion Canada on Gormanville Road for almost 100 vehicles, from small cars to big rigs, to pull in on their journey from Alberta to Parliament Hill with a message for federal politicians.
Alexandre Caron
"This is about more than pipelines," Caron says. "This is about government. This is about all the provinces having different issues. It's about getting back the political process."The United We Roll Convoy for Canada, a caravan of transports, work vehicles and personal automobiles, left Red Deer, Alta., last Thursday bound for Ottawa and a protest on Parliament Hill Tuesday."The media and the government have divided the provinces," Caron says. "We want to fight for our freedoms and our rights. We want fair government.""We are watching Justin Trudeau slowly strip away every right we had," Sarah Zaldinger, of Timmins, said as about two dozen supporters waited for the convoy to arrive, sharing updates on when the parade would roll into town."He is stripping the future of my children and their children and their children," Zaldinger said. "They are being set up for failure. Their rights, their future, will all be destroyed if we don't stand up now."Although she was not part of the convoy to North Bay, Zaldinger was going to join it Tuesday morning for the rally in Ottawa as part of her own objective of "direct democracy."And direct democracy is possible, she said.Zaldinger pointed to a recent Amber Alert sent to cellphone users across the province ...
