The Calgary Herald is a Canadian daily newspaper published in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The paper was first published in 1883 as The Calgary Herald, Mining and Ranche Advocate and General Advertiser. The newspaper is currently owned by the Postmedia Network.
The The Calgary Herald, Mining and Ranche Advocate and General Advertiser was first published 31 August 1883 in a tent at the junction of the Bow and Elbow by Thomas Braden, a school teacher, and his friend, Andrew Armour, a printer, and financed by "a five-hundred- dollar interest-free loan from a Toronto milliner, Miss Frances Ann Chandler." It started as a weekly paper with 150 copies of only four pages created on a handpress that arrived 11 days earlier on the first train to Calgary. A year's subscription cost $3.
When Hugh St. Quentin Cayley became editor 26 November 1884 the Herald moved out of the tent and into a shack. Cayley quickly became partner and editor.
Eventually the publisher's name was changed to Herald Publishing Company Limited and began publishing the Calgary Daily Herald, a daily version of the newspaper, on 2 July 1885.

The heralds 's arrival
From beyond outer spheres
Forecasting damnation
Doomsday is near
Hear his words of wisdom
Truthteling prophet
His appearance followed by
The dark cloak of death
In pathetic disputes
A race for oil and gas
Cremating in the cauldron
Incinerating fast
Arctic shrinkage
Drastic alteration
Chawing permafrost
Subsurface refridgeration
Poles are melting
A cascading release
Mankind's drowning
In oceans of tears
Reaching critical stage
Glacial minimum
High-explosive event
Ignite the methane bomb
Save humanity from pain
In afterlife fantasia
Spare the species their suffering
