The annual Alberta Stampede Calgary Stampede Liberal pancake breakfast will be held this 4th of July – any Liberals in town should mosey on over to this website and pick up some tickets for it. Michael Ignatieff will be the guest speaker this year, and a ticket includes free admission to the Calgary Zoo for the rest of the day.

And, on a similar topic, I’ll put out another request for pictures from anyone who happens to catch a politician “going western” during Stampede. Just send your pictures in to calgarygrit@gmail.com – hopefully I’ll wind up with enough to be able to continue my traditional Stampede fashion round-up for the fourth straight year.
