Opinion: The ugly reckoning coming for Danielle Smith (opens the original)
Read excerpt
With just a few weeks to go before Alberta’s referendum on separation, fresh polls indicate growing support for those wanting no part of ripping the country apart. One by Ipsos shows 70 per cent of Albertans want to remain in Canada, while 20 per cent are in favour of holding a binding referendum on separation.

Opinion: David Eby’s snap election call is cynical and self-serving (opens the original)
Read excerpt
B.C. Premier David Eby’s snap election call Tuesday may go down as a cynical but savvy decision that kept his government in power for another four years.

Read excerpt
One month before the 2016 U.S. Presidential election, the Washington Post broke a story about a tape recording it confirmed was Republican candidate Donald Trump talking to a reporter from the television entertainment show Access Hollywood about the perks of stardom.
