Ndatuje to surrender passport, remain in Alberta

The front-line officer is accused of committing the alleged offences in #RedDeer on April 23, 2022. #Ndatuje, who lives in Chestermere, has been released on a number of conditions, including that he surrender his passport, stay in #Alberta and report for fingerprinting.

An Alberta RCMP officer has been charged in relation to a national security breach that assisted a foreign actor.

On Tuesday, #Mounties said Const. #Eli #Ndatuje, 36, is facing three charges related to the sharing of “non-#top #secret” #information accessed from the force’s records system.

Court records state he did so to benefit the Republic of #Rwanda in #Africa, and that the alleged crimes date to April 2022.

Mounties said they’re using all means at their disposal to combat foreign interference in the country’s #sovereignty.

“The RCMP will pursue any form of interference, whether internal or external, and this is a good example of the efforts being made,” they said.

Ndatuje is charged with breach of trust, breach of trust in respect to safeguarded information under the #Security of #Information #Act and unauthorized use of a computer.

They also say he was required to surrender his passport to the RCMP, remain in Alberta and reside at his address in Chestermere.

Last month, Calgary 911 employee #Mariana #Buonincontri, 58, was charged with three offences including breach of trust and wilfully committing mischief about computer data that allegedly was to benefit organized crime.

Canada has been roiled by allegations of foreign interference in its federal political realm.

A national inquiry began hearings earlier this month on the topic of foreign interference in Canada, created after multiple reports last year of widespread interference from #China in #Canada‘s elections.

A new inter-city bus service is up and running in Edmonton.

FlixBus is a low-cost bus service offering trips to Calgary, Red Deer and Lethbridge.

World Rivers Day

They carve their way through the earth, providing a playground for adventure seekers and a peaceful refuge for nature lovers.

Almost every country around the world will have at least one river flowing through it. There are probably a number of other important waterways as well. To ensure that these important bodies of water are celebrated and appreciated as they should be, World Rivers Day aims to remind people about just how important all of the waterways around the globe are to us.

The very first World Rivers Day was celebrated in 2005 and since then it has been gaining in popularity with many events being organized around the world. In this same year, the United Nations also launched its Water for Life Decade, with the aim of increasing the awareness of the need for taking better care of the world’s waters.

World Rivers Day was launched alongside this new initiative, all thanks to a proposal that was put forward by Mark Angelo, who was already an international river advocate.

Learn about World Rivers Day

Rivers are the arteries of our planet; they are lifelines in the truest sense.

World Rivers Day is all about celebrating the waterways of the world. It is a day that highlights the importance of rivers, aiming to heighten awareness and encourage people to preserve our important and beautiful rivers.

There are a number of different things that we can all do in order to protect our rivers. This includes using earth-friendly body products and biodegradable cleaning products. After all, these chemicals all get washed down the drain, which means they end up going back into our rivers. Making a change like this can make a massive difference. Other tips include turning your tap off while you are brushing your teeth, timing your showers, and keeping a full load when you are using your dishwasher or your washing machine. Small changes like this can go a very long way.

History of World Rivers Day

You might be wondering why we need a World Rivers Day as everyone is already aware of numerous rivers around the world. That’s true; but what some people aren’t aware of is just how under threat some of them are.

There is a lot of human activity that causes pollution and damage to a number of the world’s important waterways, and this is dangerous for the people who regularly use the rivers as a source of water and transport, as well as the ecosystems that could be living in them.

The main aim of World Rivers Day is to ensure that everyone is aware of the importance of river stewardship and that we all do what we can to limit the threats that could potentially endanger our rivers.

So, you are probably wondering how this all started. Well, it began with the Water for Life Decade, which was launched by the United Nations in 2005. This was created in order to improve awareness regarding the need to make sure that we better care for our water resources. This ultimately led to World Rivers Day being created. This happened in response to a proposal that was initiated by Mark Angelo, a worldwide renowned river advocate.

How to celebrate World Rivers Day

There are so many ways we can all get involved with World Rivers Day. You might be able to find a local event, such as a litter clean or a beach litter pick. There are loads of different events that aim to get people out and about being active in helping to improve local rivers.

Some events even focus on the wildlife that lives in our rivers. One example is to take part in a fish enhancement program that some local river organizations might be running near you.

It’s also a really good excuse to celebrate your local river as well. For instance, some people decide to take to the water to go sailing, kayaking, or canoeing. No matter how you want to enjoy the rivers, there is really no better day to enjoy them than on World Rivers Day! You will be able to really appreciate what needs to go into keeping them clean and helping the local wildlife enjoy healthy habitats.

One of the ways that you can celebrate River Day is by planning an event. It is a good idea to select an event that is going to use local resources and expertise, and which will address local issues, customs, and interest. Events on these days can range from a single event, such as a clean-up of a creek section or a paddle down a creek to a big local festival with a number of different features and events going on.

It is a good idea to look to involve different organizations and groups from the community so that you gain participation and local support. Get in touch with local businesses, hospital foundations, the government, and local schools.

You can also contact local interest groups as well, including the likes of environmental groups, recycling societies, heritage societies, music societies, art societies, daycares, paddlers, and birders.

By getting help from a number of different groups of people, you are going to be able to diversify your event. This means that it is going to turn into a celebration of your local environment and the connections your community has with its rivers.

You can also head to the World Rivers Day website and sign-up for updates and alerts regarding the different events that are going on around the world. You never know, there may be something that is planned for your local area on this date.

No matter how you choose to spend the next World Rivers Day, we are sure that it will help you appreciate your local waterway a lot more than what you might do right now. If everyone did, imagine how clean our rivers could be!

Tommy Chong's first band, The Calgary Shades, played school dances in Edmonton, Calgary, and Red Deer, Alberta, throughout the 1950s.

When they relocated to Vancouver they won first place at the Teenage Fair Battle of the Bands.

Their prize was a recording deal with RCA Victor Canada.

They changed the group's name to Little Daddie and the Bachelors.

The A side of their RCA single was a cover version of Chuck Berry's "Monkey Business."

The flip side was an original composition by Tommy Chong called "Junior's Jerk" and it's excellent.

Happy Family Day from our @battle-of-alberta family to yours :)

Family Day is an Alberta invention, proclaimed by then Lieutenant Governor Helen Hunley on suggestion from then Premier Don Getty to promote family values and spending time with each other. It has since spread to many other provinces, but is not a federal holiday. And yes, it's the same day as President's Day on purpose!

Battle of Alberta Timeline pt. 1: 17th-19th Centuries

[ Alberta Story ] [ part 1 ] [ part 2 soon ]

Phew.

This was an ambitious little project for such a short time period.

I don't have much to say about it other than that, it is just supposed to be a crash course in the broad strokes of what Alberta considers to be its history. It glosses over a lot and is mostly about the foundations and incorporations of the characters (i.e. the municipalities that I have personified thus far) and a few contextual clues to the worlds they grew up in. It's basically a big cheat sheet for me since I'm both a stickler for consistency and also very inconsistent... Of course, each character could easily have their own personalized timeline on top of this, so I tried to leave room for that possibility.

(missing is St. Albert, who would be featured at 1861 if I ever intended to draw him)

And, of course, it's supposed to provoke your curiosity a little since it is of course an ask blog, I can't just explain everything down here much as I would like to :)

Enjoy!

Mr. Stephan: Given that ATA union bosses are not the boss, given that this NDP has no boss, given that the Jagmeet NDP mother ship is a puppet boss, given that Trudeau is no good – he is no boss, Mr. Speaker – to the minister: if none of the nothing Trudeau boss of the NDP mother ship puppet boss of this NDP no boss of the ATA union bosses are not the bosses, then who is the boss of children’s education?

A number of  2SLGBTQIA+ groups in Central Alberta are pushing back against a request from the Red Deer South UCP constituency to reinstate MLA Jennifer Johnson into the UCP caucus.

Johnson was kicked out of caucus last May after her September 2022 comments comparing transgender children in schools to having feces in food became public.

On Wednesday, the board of the Red Deer-South Constituency sent Smith a letter saying that Johnson had sufficiently apologized for her comments and asked for her to be reinstated to the UCP caucus.

"Member Johnson has, in our view, sufficiently made amends for her comments that came to light during a closely fought election last spring. It is our view that the time has come to move past this incident and welcome Member Johnson into caucus." [...]
