  • Seems like something is fishy with the Drumheller Chamber of Commerce. They voted to end this super popular and famous dinosaur attraction without any form of communication with the Town of Drumheller, or seemingly anyone who cares about it.

    Council had to call an emergency meeting because of the outcry and effect this will have on the town. Then the chamber president offers a clown statement about it:

    “While this announcement is a difficult one, it’s also an opportunity for the chamber to refocus on our core mission: supporting local businesses, advocating on their behalf and fostering economic growth in Drumheller,” said Lana Phillips, president of the chamber.

    This move is the opposite of that core mission. Do these kind of people just say words they hear in TV and movies, regardless of meaning? Something stinks in Drum.











  • If people are angry enough it can work. The situation today is an entirely different than a typical provincial election where apathy is engrained in so many.

    Collecting enough signatures isn’t all up to the person who kicks off the recall petition; canvassers register and join in on collecting signatures. And they don’t have to go door to door. If you have the permission of your employer, or a business, or central location you can set up canvasses there an let people know times and places to show up to sign. Not easy, but possible if people care enough.

    The obvious hoops that have been set up to prevent a recall from being straight forward suck, but we still have a mechanism to do it. If a recall could succeed despite the hoops that would be extremely motivating to the rest of the province and country.
