Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Conservative leader, Pierre Poilievre, seen on a horse as he attends Calgary Stampede parade 2023.




At a fundraiser for today’s federal Conservatives, nearly everything is designed to be an applause line. Even the take-home party favour gift bags.


Visitors to the Conservatives’ 1,400-person Stampede barbecue Saturday night were offered gift bags, or tiny little gauzy pouches to be more specific.


They contained Canada flag lapel pins, a couple of Lifesaver breath mints, and the ticket-holder’s choice of buttons.


One said “hands off my six shooter,” another one went with the intriguingly (given that this is a federal party) anti-federal slogan “more Alberta, less Ottawa.” The other two took swings at Justin Trudeau: “All hat no cattle,” and “Buck off, Trudeau.”
