Small plane hits fence and flips, leaving one seriously injured in rural Alberta
The Transportation Safety Board of Canada says the two-seater was flying Tuesday from Wetaskiwin to Linden, a town about 100 kilometres northeast of Calgary.
The agency says the plane was approaching the rural airstrip when its fixed landing gear hit a fence and flipped.
RCMP say two 82-year-old men were on board.
They say one was airlifted to hospital in serious condition and the other was taken by ground ambulance with minor injuries.
The safety board did not send investigators to the scene but says it's gathering information to assess the crash.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 6, 2025.

I'm on vacation with my kids and my husband. He's working a few hours a day. Everyone expects me to cook. Should I go on strike? Ask Lisi
Q I have a friend whom I adore but she is neurotic, winds everyone up, makes everyone crazy, is wrong most of the time in her hysteria and doesn't seem to care or notice how it affects everyone because she somehow just moves on. If you get caught up in her vortex you get sucked into her whirlwind frenzy. It's impossible to follow, and just as quickly as it starts, it ends, leaving you flat on your ass wondering what the hell just happened. We have daughters the same age, which is how we met. They're seven and very good friends. My friend's hysteria usually involves the girls in some form or another. It could be about getting them registered into the dance program right now; or about standing in line at a store in the early hours to be first to purchase the hot toy of the month.

The hostile reaction of U.S. lawmakers to Canadian forest fires reveals more about U.S.-Canada relations than any stack of trade statistics
If your neighbour's house catches on fire, what do you do? Do you shout over the fence, telling her to keep the ruckus down? Do you complain that the smoke wafting into your backyard is making it hard for you to enjoy the evening? I sure hope not. If you're a decent person, or just a basically normal person, you do whatever you can to help. You try to make sure everything's being done to fight the blaze and everyone's being taken care of. You'd expect your neighbour to do the same if it happened to you.

DEAR ABBY: Grandma ignores request to not traipse around with infant
A mother is being criticized for being "too harsh" on her mother-in-law. Photo by stock photo / Getty Images Reviews and recommendations are unbiased and products are independently selected. Postmedia may earn an affiliate commission from purchases made through links on this page. DEAR ABBY: My husband and I are blessed with a 6-month-old son, 'Tyler.' I'm now back at work three days a week. My mother and my mother-in-law offered to watch him one day a week, which we were grateful for. (I found a babysitter for the third day.)

Create Account I give my mom and my MIL gift cards to their favourite restaurants because each is giving up a day per week for us. My mom is very active and quite a bit younger than my MIL. Mom stays home with Tyler on the day she watches him (no errands, etc.). I asked my MIL if, on the day she watches Tyler, she can also stay home and not drive around to the library, grocery store and retail stores. I explained it interrupts the baby's nap schedule, and, because she isn't as physically in shape as my mom, it worries me how she's wrangling the car seat, stroller, etc. She promised she'd just stay home and care for him and play with him. Well, Abby, she completely ignored me. I came to pick him up, and she was not even home. I was furious because this isn't the only time I have caught her running all over town with my infant. My husband also has asked her to stay put for one day out of the week. The last time I picked up Tyler, I said, 'If you can't stay home, we need to change this arrangement.' Now my husband's side of the family is upset with me and thinks I was too harsh. What do you think? — NEW MOM IN MISSOURI This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. DEAR MOM: I think that because your mother-in-law ignores your instructions about not taking your baby with her while running errands, that you need to find someone else to take care of him on the days she used to do it. This is not being 'too harsh,' it is protecting your little one. (No one said motherhood is easy.) RECOMMENDED VIDEO DEAR ABBY: I have a friend who is an accomplished cook. I am not. She's very generous and shares her efforts often, but anytime I have given her some of my better efforts, she has given me feedback like, 'Adding some onion would really help this' or 'Wow, you didn't skimp on the chili powder!' I finally decided to reciprocate by inviting her to lunches out. Now it's, 'This sauce tastes like it came out of a bottle, mine is much better' or 'I tweaked my sister's recipe for this dish; I should give it to the chef.' Frankly, I'm tired of her estimation of her talents. I never killed anybody with my cooking, and her remarks when we're at a restaurant diminish my enjoyment. Any nice way to get her to simmer down? — OUTDONE IN TEXAS DEAR OUTDONE: I wonder if your friend's culinary talents are her only claim to fame. When she is critical of the food at the restaurants to which you take her, SMILE and say quietly, 'Picky aren't we today? I think this is delicious!' It would be better than saying nothing and having a bad taste in your mouth. Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.
