Medicine Hat Stampede marks 130 years with Canada 150 note
The Medicine Hat Exhibition and Stampede wrapped its 130 year run on the weekend with a nod to Canada 150. General manager Jim MacArthur praised the weather and festival planning while noting attendance should match prior years despite extreme heat. SkyHawks drew big crowds, and daily flag raising was highlighted as effective. Concerts and the Friday rodeo drew strong turnout, with evenings busier as afternoons cooled. Organizers adjust acts based on crowd response and aim for broad appeal.

The United States seeks to preserve Buy America rules while expanding access for U S firms in Canada and Mexico. The stance, part of the revamped NAFTA proposal from U S Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer, could complicate government procurement talks as Canada prepares for negotiations next month. International trade lawyer Lawrence Herman calls the approach outrageous as officials anticipate hard bargaining over public infrastructure contracts and sourcing rules.
