It may have been the final day of the 10-day Calgary Stampede exhibition and rodeo, but two pancake breakfasts held simultaneously Sunday morning made clear the battle for the hearts and minds of Albertans is just ramping up.
At Ranchman’s Cookhouse and Dancehall, one of Calgary’s most well-known western bars, the pro-independence group Let Alberta Decide hosted a pancake breakfast, drawing hundreds. One man wore a shirt that read “Alberta First. Ottawa Last,” before grabbing a plate of eggs, sausages, pancakes and fruit.
