‘Fun police have struck:’ Alberta premier criticizes new Calgary Stampede noise bylaw
3 minute read Updated: 6:25 PM CDTCALGARY - Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says "the fun police have struck" Calgary while the federal Opposition Leader says the city is "smothering country music culture" after it announced it's dialing down the sound for the Calgary Stampede after midnight.
The city says music at last year's event left windows shaking and items falling off shelves, but Smith said in a post on X that Calgary's decision to lower music volume thresholds during the rodeo festival will hurt workers.
She said it will also create crowd-control issues, as festival attendees will leave early.
"Stampede is one of Calgary's signature events, attracting hundreds of thousands of residents and visitors who come to enjoy the attractions, live music, and the unique energy of our city," Smith said in the Saturday post.

N.B. gallery aims to spark debate with urine-soaked crucifix photo, Tory MP weighs in
4 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 2:18 PM CDTFREDERICTON - An art gallery in Eastern Canada is leveraging a notorious, damaged photograph of a crucifix floating in urine to spark public discourse — even drawing criticism from a member of Parliament.
The Beaverbrook Art Gallery, located in New Brunswick’s capital Fredericton, is exhibiting American artist Andres Serrano’s controversial piece until the end of November.
It marks the first time the Piss Christ (Immersions), on loan from the Rennie Collection in Vancouver, has been shown in Atlantic Canada.
And the gallery's executive director Bernard Doucet says he's not shying away from the controversy that surrounds the 1987 piece. It's the role of the Beaverbrook, and other organizations like it, to get people talking, he says.
