Western Standard News Update | 24 Nov 2025

In this Western Standard News Update, Chief Editor Dave Naylor breaks down today’s top stories: a major snowfall slowing Calgary to a crawl — from dangerous road conditions to a temporary shutdown at the Calgary International Airport while crews worked to clear the runways; a transparency fight at Frog Lake First Nation as an Indigenous activist working with the Canadian Taxpayers Federation wins a court injunction to review the band’s financial records; and new concerns at Canada Post as the Crown corporation warns of more stamp hikes next year after losing nearly $1 billion in the last quarter.Plus, Naylor looks at a shakeup inside the Conservative campaign as Jenni Byrne steps aside and veteran strategist Steve Outhouse — known for recent Tory wins including Danielle Smith’s 2023 UCP victory — takes over, and an Alberta Serious Incident Response Team investigation into the death of a Calgary man who died after being tasered during a police welfare check.Follow the Western Standard on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube Music.For full stories and exclusive member access, visit WesternStandard.news.
