The second Friday of the Stampede feels like the last couple of days of vacation. You cannot believe the party is almost over, so you try to jam as much as you can into the final weekend.

Many Calgarians will head out on vacation right after the Stampede, but whether you are on the beach in the Okanagan or back in your office, here are some things to inspire your conversations.

We better be paying attention to what is happening in the United States. Help me understand why President Joe Biden and his family are not thinking that he accomplished the highest office in the Western world and has done a very good job for his country, but his time is over.

Surely, his family and friends should be saying it is time for a fresh leader to face the upcoming election. This is not a criticism of his term, but the reality that the world saw on their televisions on June 27 is being faced by families all over the world. It is time for the next generation of leaders, and hopefully we have prepared them for the task ahead.

No matter who wins the next election, Canada’s........
