Hats off to everyone who played a part in convincing the Alberta Electoral Boundaries Commission to retain the Lesser Slave Lake riding.
It is not often a commission admits “we erred” but as Town of High Prairie Mayor Dan Vandermeulen says, it was good to see commission members kept an open mind while hearing submissions.
More on this in our story on page 3 and editorial on page 6.
Well done, everyone!
Also, a bouquet to the residents of Pine Cresent in High Prairie. It was proposed council sell a “green space” lot for a housing development. The local residents wrote letters and attended a public hearing March 31 to voice their objection.
In the end, council listened to the people and kept the green space designation.
It would have been extremely difficult for council to oppose the Pine Crescent residents opposing the project. It proves the squeaky wheel gets the grease so to speak!
Gotcha!
Our little April Fool’s joke on southpeacenews. com caught a few people off guard.
Ha, ha!
We announced the buyer of the old hospital land (fake company) and quoted the CAO of the said company (also a fake name) as the buyers ready to build a casino. Interest in the story was immediate as it soared into the Top 10 of our paper’s most-read posted stories on the website within one day!
Well, it was made up! We still do not know who bought the land and what the buyer’s intentions are.
But for those who fell victim to our little prank, it just goes to show how many people want to know who bought the land. The Page shares those sentiments. One day soon, hopefully, we will all know.

We see Peace River – Westlock MP Arnold Viersen wants to promote Alberta’s energy industry by inking trade deals with allies.
Of course, Viersen is blaming a decade of failed Liberal energy policies for the woes the industry is facing. He praises Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre for visiting allies like the United States while Prime Minister Mark Carney visits China. He also trumpets the CANZUK (Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom) alliance as a good plan saying it would “unleash the Alberta oil and gas that our allies seek.”
Didn’t Eastern Canade just buy some gas from Australia? Seems the Aussies are one step ahead of us already!
Nonetheless, trade deals with allies is a good stop forward.
The Page reminds everyone who hates Conservatives that former prime minister Stephen Harper ruled Canada for many years. How many pipelines did Harper build to the east to get Alberta’s energy to market?
Hint: the same number as the shape in the middle of a doughnut!
Did you know for the first time in its history, Team Alberta North won the Hodgson Trophy?
It is presented to the team which best demonstrates the spirit of fair play during the Games, which occurred in March.
Well done, athletes!
Speaking of fair play, The Page is known to be a very good loser!
But a better winner!
Mr. Jones goes to visit the doctor.
“I’m afraid I have bad news,” says the doctor. “You have only six months to live!”
Mr. Jones is shocked and sits in stunned silence for a few moments. He finally speaks and tells his doctor he has no medical insurance and cannot possibly pay his bill in six months.
“Did I say six months?” says the doctor. “I meant nine months!”
