5 h. ago How Trump has turbocharged a Canadian province’s quest for independence | Lisa Young

The president has upended Canadian politics - and offered Alberta’s seccesionists a new political route forward For Canadians, there’s nothing new about a province contemplating secession. Two referendums on Quebec’s potential independence – in 1980 and 1995 – brought the country uncomfortably close to the precipice.

One is that there is no rhyme or reason to Trump’s actions. He is simply a randomizing generator of chaos. The other is that there is a method. Continue reading...

Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson issue a stinging verdict on a cover-up that may have cost Democrats the 2024 electionJoe Biden mistook his victory in 2020 for a sweeping, FDR-like mandate.
