As world leaders passed through Calgary International Airport on Sunday on their way to attend the G7 summit in Kananaskis, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek, Bearspaw First Nation Chief Darcy Dixon and others were on hand to welcome them to Canada.

The news is about to be flooded with the latest from the Group of Seven as some of the world's most powerful leaders travel to the Canadian Rockies next week for high-level meetings on major issues.

In 2018, the president called for the group to embrace Russia and stormed out of the summit. Now he is seeking to shrink America’s military role abroad and embarking on a more expansive trade war.

World leaders began arriving in Calgary for Sunday’s start of the G7 summit as hundreds of boisterous protesters demonstrated downtown amid a heavy security presence.

As the leaders were scheduled to arrive Sunday hundreds of protesters from several different groups rallied in front of Calgary City Hall, with many carrying anti-Trump messages.

Two former Canadian prime ministers and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith are among the notable names set to speak at a conference today ahead of next week's G7 leaders' summit in Kananaskis.

But that’s now a realistic possibility, after one of the Edmonton-based company’s signature glasses was selected to be included in a goody bag gifted to delegates at the G7 Leaders’ Summit, which runs in Kananaskis Country from Sunday to Tuesday.

Protests during the upcoming G7 leaders summit in Kananaskis, Alta., may be starkly different than demonstrations happening this week against immigration crackdowns in the United States.
