Mass Stabbing, Gas Price Hike, Daylight Savings and National Creator Award

Desi Dispatch Issue #7

Hello Friend,

Tomorrow is the Daylight saving day. You are going to get 1 hour less sleep.

Today we are ending our first giveaway. There was a tie between 3 of our readers but unfortunately, they all fell short with only 1 referral left. 😟 Better luck next time.

Starting this week we will be slightly updating our newsletter structure to cater more wider audience in Alberta.

This Week’s:

  • 😢 Ottawa Mass Stabbing Victims Celebrated Killer's Birthday

  • ⛽️ Double Gas Price Hike coming soon

  • Daylight saving Time - Clocks ‘spring forward’ an hour

  • 🛫 New Immigration Stream

Let’s get in there.

🌤️ Weather Forecast

Looks like we are finally saying goodbye to the snow for this season. Hey, Keyur don’t jinx it! right? LOL, I know. I am just optimistic.

Things are looking between 5o C to 12o C in Edmonton, Calgary and most of Alberta. So enjoy this great warmth after a week of cold.
