## Resource

Sundre’s annual rodeo parade has been canceled amid a storm of online threats and harassment targeting volunteers after organizers excluded a pro-Alberta float, sparking outrage and forcing a last-minute withdrawal of participants. Despite an apology and offer to reinstate the float, the backlash was too intense to continue. The rodeo itself remains on, but the family-friendly parade is off — a stark reminder of how political tensions are reshaping community traditions in Alberta, especially as the province grapples with a heated debate over its place within Canada.
