The first group out of the gate on the issue of separation is the Alberta Prosperity Project. They're pre-signing up a lot of signatures, so that when the official clock is started for the 120 days, they’ve already got a head start. They'll get their 177,000.

But there are going to be challenges. Think of the massive defamation you're about to see — the total deplatforming of anyone who dares to weigh in on the side of Alberta, even of people who think the referendum itself is healthy, or those who think Alberta could just use a bargaining chip. You can already see what they're trying to do to Danielle Smith, just for allowing the referendum. She's not even promoting it; she’s essentially said she'll vote no, but she's being smeared as a "traitor" nonetheless. Even though it has Quebec's precedent, Ottawa's Clarity Act, and the Supreme Court's blessing.

Plus, Prime Minister Mark Carney is claiming his Liberal government will make cuts to immigration, but what does that really mean? Meanwhile, across the Atlantic in the United Kingdom, Labour PM Keir Starmer is also claiming his government will tighten restrictions on immigration following a strong performance from Nigel Farage's Reform UK party in recent elections.

And finally, new data reveals that 40% of hate crimes in Toronto are committed against Jews, as protests supportive of Hamas continue in the city following the terror group's Oct. 7 attack against Israel and amid the ongoing war in Gaza.

Today, we're looking at the conversation around separatism and what this means for treaties Indigenous groups signed with Canada, and whether these treaties can prevent a province — like Alberta — from splitting off from the rest of Canada.

Plus, CBC is sucking up to its benefactor, Mark Carney, following the prime minister's visit to the White House. Is this the kind of positive coverage Carney was expecting after pledging a $150 million increase to the state broadcaster's budget.

And finally, documents uncovered by Blacklock's Reporter reveal how Parks Canada was aware of an issue surrounding dead trees in Jasper, but conducted no controlled burns in the area prior to the devastating 2023 wildfire.
