Backup QB Leads Argos to Victory | Calgary News

Backup QB Nick Arbuckle delivered a clutch performance, leading the Toronto Argonauts to a 26-12 win over the struggling B.C. Lions after starter Chad Kelly went down with an injury. Arbuckle completed 13 of 20 passes for 134 yards and added 28 rushing yards, while rookie kicker Brady Lidster nailed four of five field goals, including long bombs from 47 and 48 yards. Kelly set the tone with two TDs to Makai Polk before exiting amid a post-hit scuffle. The Lions, now 1-5, saw Chase Brice’s debut end in frustration as they surrendered over 370 yards — a performance their players called unacceptable. The Argos snapped a three-game skid and look poised for momentum. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.

Men Talking Honestly in a Coffee Shop | Calgary News

In a Halifax coffee shop turned confessional, men gather weekly for “How Are You, Really?” — a raw, judgment-free space where vulnerability is welcomed and masculinity is redefined. Hosted by Joe Tinney, a former addict and depression survivor, the group dismantles toxic norms by encouraging honest, unfiltered conversations about pain, humor, and everything in between. Locked doors, deep questions, and heartfelt sharing create a sanctuary where men feel seen — not fixed. It’s proof that sometimes, the most healing conversations happen when no one’s watching.

Chiefs Stadium Looks Like Saddledome | Calgary News

Kansas City’s new Chiefs stadium design has sparked a viral debate after fans in Calgary noticed its uncanny resemblance to their iconic Saddledome — prompting playful memes, nostalgic reactions, and even a cheeky nod from the Flames’ official account. While some Calgarians joke about the similarity — especially with their own arena potentially being replaced — others lament the loss of a unique architectural identity. Economists and longtime fans argue the design could’ve been adapted for a smaller venue, missing an opportunity to preserve local character. Though the Saddledome itself borrowed from a 70s-80s arena, critics say the Chiefs’ version feels like a modern echo. And while some dismiss the online frenzy as overblown, many agree — no matter the intent — the resemblance is undeniable, and the conversation is here to stay.

Dogs, Bears, and the Law in National Parks | Calgary News

A viral video of a hiker and his off-leash dog triggering a tense bear encounter in a national park has sparked outrage—and legal consequences. Parks Canada charged the hikers for violating leash rules, which mandate dogs be kept on a 3-meter leash. With nearly 85% of bear-dog incidents involving unleashed pets, experts warn these encounters often escalate into dangerous situations, risking injury or death for both humans and animals. The bear, a well-known matriarch nicknamed Queen, is at risk of being euthanized or relocated if aggression continues—potentially erasing generations of grizzlies. The real threat? Human behavior. Even well-behaved dogs can provoke bears, and we must respect their space. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
