CALGARY - Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says “the fun police have struck” Calgary after the city announced it’s turning down the sound dial for the Calgary Stampede because music at last year’s event left windows shaking and items falling off shelves.
Smith says in a post on X that Calgary’s recent decision to lower music volume thresholds during the rodeo festival will negatively affect workers and create crowd-control issues, as festivalgoers will leave early.
