@ABDanielleSmith Yes please

Should Alberta ditch changing the clocks and stick to one time year round? Tell me what you think below 👇

@johnw_bender This #flames lifer is all for it. Is something #flames have never tried. Since 89, what they’ve done hasn’t worked (other than a surprise run in 04). Question - STHs will stick around & are content with status quo (2nd last NHL) but now furious about what happened this week? 🤷

#Flames have a ton of picks, most are likely 3+ years away from contributing. I'm a STH & most of the people around me say they're canceling their tickets. On game day many resale tickets are ~$30 Will be interesting to see if they see this through or pivot early. #yyc

While it might not be politically correct, I feel something needs to be said regarding President Trump’s recent comments that diminished the contributions of NATO allies in Afghanistan and suggested NATO countries ‘stayed a little back’ from the front lines during the conflict. As someone who served alongside many who deployed and saw combat in that country, there is no question that Canadian soldiers experienced some of the most ferocious fighting of any nation and deployed to probably the most dangerous region (Kandahar) during that time. We stood shoulder to shoulder with not only Americans, but other allies, and have the scars to prove it. 158 killed. More than 600 wounded. The third highest casualties of any country. To suggest otherwise is insulting, outrageous and completely unacceptable to the more than 40,000 Canadians who served during the Afghanistan War, and the families of those who never made it home. If there is criticism meant for certain NATO members (and there were definitely some who contributed significantly less), it should be respectful, constructive and directed at those particular countries - not at nations like Canada, the UK and Denmark (among others) who made enormous contributions, and paid an enormous price, standing alongside our allies - just as we did at Vimy Ridge, on D-Day, in Korea and the many conflicts since. And just as we will always do when the world needs Canada to step up. 🇨🇦

🇨🇦 That is all!

Macklin Celebrini moving around pretty well, it seems, this morning

Paul Maurice’s post-game interview is as good as you would think it is.

The House of Commons is stunned into silence upon realizing the Finance Minister, Chrystia Freeland, doesn't know the difference between income taxes and capital gains.

For all the hockey parents out there I want to take a second and provide a little bit of perspective on a hockey director's role. So many hockey directors, when they get into that position, they go into it as a hockey person thinking a lot of their job is actually “directing hockey.” But they find out pretty quickly that the hockey part is a small, minuscule part of their job. They figure out that most of what they do is administrative, putting out fires, and dealing with unhappy parents. They don't get to do what they love which is teaching hockey to the coaches and to the players. It’s a job that is so undervalued, often times understaffed, and catches the flack whenever anything goes wrong whether it was their fault or not. So if you have a minute, send a note of appreciation to your kid’s hockey director. There’s a pretty good chance they are stressed but doing the best job they can to provide positive value to your kid and your family. I guarantee you that will go a long way.

Regardless of your position, open your mind and have a read … nationalpost.com/opinion/conrad…

Trudeau says he doesn't understand why NDP is pulling back from carbon price support ctvnews.ca/politics/trude…

NHL playoffs start next week. Mark Stone

PLAYERS: A bad coach doesn't make you have a bad attitude. A good coach doesn't make you have a good attitude. Only you can choose your attitude. Circumstances may make things harder or easier but not impossible or automatic. Your attitude shouldn't be situational.

The boys & girls in black & white are not the enemy. Officiating is the least understood role in hockey, the most criticized and probably the most difficult. My favourite cliche is that "hockey does not build character - it reveals it".

Prediction for 2035: I will still be driving a gas Dodge truck. A federal Conservative government will have spent a decade cleaning up all the problems Steven Guilbeault and the Liberals have caused for Canadians. #ableg #cdnpoli

Rex Murphy: The carbon tax is dead. Trudeau did it in nationalpost.com/opinion/the-ca… via @nationalpost

Trudeau has provided a carbon tax exemption on home heating for families in one part of the country, but not here. It’s unfair, it’s unacceptable, and here’s what we’re going to do about it.

Jakob Kopitar surprised his dad by reading the starting lineup for his franchise record-setting 1297th game 🖤

@darcywag @nashty24 @FlamesNation I don’t doubt that. James Neal 2.0
