Daniel Vandal, the federal minister for Prairies Economic Development Canada, says the money aims to support a full-scale Calgary Stampede to deliver the ‘authentic western experience’ this year

The Calgary Stampede has received more than $10-million from the federal government to help it bounce back after last year’s event was scaled down due to the COVID-19 pandemic.Last year’s Stampede ran at half capacity because of COVID-19 public health measures and was cancelled all-together the year before.

“Festivals large and small were hard hit during the pandemic,” Vandal said in a news release. “They are events where families and friends come together, and take in the exciting atmosphere.

At least in our Stampede parade we don't have men walking around with their dicks out. 🤬

Shame. They should lower their prices.

Watch kenney crap all over that

Okay so ? 'Ottawa' hands out money to other countries like it's nothing for 'aid'

Like china, Ottawa wants Provinces dependent on them. It’s why Liberals can not, or won’t break fee from this imported communist narrative called virus 2020. It’s costing provinces a fortune & Liberals seem too happy to play China’s game against Canadians. CEPA proof?

Yet only 12 million for gun violence...priorities 🤷‍♂️

It should be great this year even with the BMO construction

*crickets*

Taxpayer money for Calgary's annual festival of animal cruelty.

Dumb decision but Trudeau’s government is well known for those.
