Hunters can now kill cougars in a provincial park in Alberta. The move to allow a cougar hunt in Cypress Hills Provincial Park, along the border with Saskatchewan, is part of a trend in Alberta to open more land and more species to hunting, under the direction of Alberta Parks and Forestry Minister Todd Loewen — who is a hunter and whose family owns a hunting business.

“This is a change that encourages hunting of a species that is isolated, has declined, and is maybe just starting to recover, but there’s no evidence that we need a hunt or that this will in any way manage the population,” Ruiping Luo, a conservation specialist with the Alberta Wilderness Association, said in an interview.

Postmedia has learned from multiple sources that McFee has told the Edmonton Police Commission of his intention to leave the job in February, after six years in the post.

He was initially hired to the role in February 2019. His current contract was set to expire in 2026.

Shortly after Postmedia’s story was published, the commission put out a news release confirming McFee’s departure on Feb. 21.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith received 91.5 per cent support for her leadership from members of her United Conservative Party who voted in Red Deer, Alta., on Saturday.

"Our party is united as it has ever been," Smith told the cheering crowd after the number was announced.

The party said 4,633 ballots were cast in the vote. The result solidifies Smith's leadership of Alberta's governing party and confirms party members agree with the direction she has taken the province since she took over the party two years ago.
