This is important.
Weather Radio is vital for Canadians everywhere, and particularly Canadians driving on the highways across the vast stretches of rural Canada with spotty cell coverage.

Rakhi Pancholi made it very clear today…

She believes that Smith’s rhetoric is absolutely fueling racism and bigotry in Alberta and called out her failure to condemn Bruce McAllisters recent bigoted comments.
