Does anyone know if there fireworks tonight? and if so when and where?

I heard that there won't be any because the cheap ass city "cant afford" it. Even though he over tax us. But atleast Mr Dan Rogers has a big nice home.

FIX THE DAMN ROADS instead of wasting that money on fireworks! If the city keeps going the way they are, the 12,000 people headed to the park won't be able to enjoy the 5-6 hours of arts related entertainment that is scheduled. Hey wait a minute, I thought we didin't like the arts in this town?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CANADA!

dan rogers drives a 1993 ford ranger he's far from rich but anyways you will see me at the park drunk picking fights with people...enjoy the show

Good Grief! Look it up - Fireworks are tonight at 11:00 pm at Exhibition Park.

There is a time and a place for complaints. Maybe if you used the appropriate venues instead of venting on here all the time you might get a little further.

This is a celebration of our wonderful country. Face it - we won the birth lottery - Canadians are lucky.

Happy Canada Day!

CanadianGirl. I think it's best if, on this web site, we stuck to the political issues involving politicians, and leave the sizes of their houses out of the discussion.

Slightly off topic but the following is from a recent article in the Calgary Herald about the economy of our good neighbour Alberta on this Canada Day.

U.S. shale gas supply casts ‘dark clouds’over Alberta.
Province warns loss in gas revenue will batter budget.

Over two days at the legislature late last week, Treasury Board president Lloyd Snelgrove laid out the Alberta government’s fiscal health to a motley group representing roughly 90 special interests, from health care and education, to businesses and municipalities.

“The hastily called meetings were highly unusual. Pre-budget talks have rarely occurred so early in the year, no less during summer.

Then again, the next provincial budget will be the Stelmach government’s toughest, with tanking natural gas prices one of the main culprits behind eroding revenues.

The province’s economic outlook has been battered by the commodity’s depressed value, a global recession and lofty Canadian loonie. A$2-billion mixture of spending cuts and tax increases–which the government first warned about in April–grows more likely by the day.

Times are changing and they’re changing very quickly, and we just want to be prepared,” Premier Ed Stelmach said in Calgary.

While many factors affect Alberta’s fiscal well-being, natural gas development is a prime contributor to government coffers, the oilpatch and small towns across the province.

This point was drilled home repeatedly last week, as the premier warned Albertans of “dark clouds ahead” in the emergence of U. S. shale gas and his government rejigged royalty rules again to aid producers.

Natural gas is the largest single source of energy revenue in Alberta, accounting for two-thirds of non-renewable resource wealth and vastly outpacing riches reaped from oil development.

The speed of shale gas development in the United States has taken many in Alberta by surprise.

Technological advancements have untapped the unconventional gas’ potential. Low cost and easily deliverable, shale has been the chief contributor to a 35 per cent spike in U. S. natural gas supply, according to a recent report from the U. S. Potential Gas Committee.

RE: Marie79

Where did you find the information about the fire works? I have looked everywhere and haven't found anything that has said that there will be fire works this year. If you could post a link that would be awesome!

No worries, it was in the Citizen....
