Alberta and secession, Premier Danielle Smith opens to referendum: “In 2026 if petition signatures warrant”

EDMONTON – Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is once again “winking” at the separatists. After announcing a bill to reduce the number of signatures needed to call for a referendum, the governor of the “rebel” Canadian province said – in a video posted on social media on Monday – that she will call a referendum on Alberta’s separation from Canada next year if citizens collect the necessary signatures.

TORONTO – Comedian Sebastian Maniscalco’s autobiographical film About My Father was just added to Netflix Canada this month – a story about families meeting. For those unfamiliar with Maniscalco’s comedy, one of the mainstays of his act involves jokes about how his antiquated father raised him. From descriptions of being put through “slave labour” as a child, to his dad killing garden pests with antifreeze, Sebastian’s father is rarely spared his blushes during the act. It’s edgy, irreverent, but always delivered with love.
