A note to the protesters on Highway 1.
First, your ignorance is staggering.
Second, protesting on a highway where the average speed is over 110kph seems incredibly risky.
And third, there are no mandates left.
Stop this. Protest the war in Ukraine. Do something of value.

Tobacco taxes go up tonight at 12:01am. It’s an important part of Alberta’s tobacco reduction strategy to encourage users to quit and deter non-users from starting.
With this increase, rates will be comparable to neighbouring provinces & generate up to $55M in revenue.
