EDMONTON—Katheryn Speck said she used to be a Canadian nationalist, travelled the world with a maple leaf on her backpack and once lived in Quebec so she could become fluently bilingual.
But on Saturday she was among hundreds of people who rallied at the Alberta legislature to support separation from Canada, with many in the crowd waving Alberta flags and a few even displaying the U.S. Stars and Stripes.
Two weeks ago, a Telegraph reader wrote in to ask: “What will it take for this rift between the King and Prince Harry to end?”
Back then, the answer seemed straightforward. When the security court case was over, whether the Duke of Sussex won or lost, there was a world in which they could conceivably talk again.
When the dust settled, whether the Duke was vindicated or at least felt he had tried his best, it was fractionally possible that father and son could reconnect – without leaks, without showdowns, without fears of jeopardising a Court of Appeal case in which the King must be scrupulously uninvolved.

Minority governments are the new norm in Canadian politics and it’s time the two major political parties in Canada started acting like it.
In the past 25 years, since the last of three consecutive Jean Chretien majority Liberal governments was elected in 2000 – at a time when the federal conservative movement was divided – eight federal elections have produced six minority governments.

Layton Carr died in the blaze at Fairfield Industrial Park in Gateshead, with eleven boys and three girls arrested on suspicion of manslaughter
Fourteen children have been arrested over the death of a 14-year-old boy in a fire at an industrial unit in Gateshead.
The blaze broke out at Fairfield Industrial Park on Friday evening and was extinguished by the fire brigade, but the body of 14-year-old Layton Carr was later discovered, Northumbria police said. His family have been informed.
On Mark Carney’s final day of a gruelling race to be elected PM of vast and sparsely populated Canada I was with him.
It was his last push, not just to win, but also to get the majority he said he needed to stand up to the chaotic territorial and trade ambitions of his “neighbour to the south”.
For someone who had got to see Carney as a cerebral technocrat, a crisis-managing central bank governor a decade ago, the transformation into public orator was quite something.
I recall endless interviews trying to get the then governor to say something newsworthy, or something that would make a good headline.
For the umpteenth time, Trump has just said some “bizarre” things that, upon closer examination, turn out to be entirely reasonable.
Just hours before Canada’s federal election, a man treated a street festival here in Vancouver like it was a bowling lane and his vehicle was the ball. Eleven people have died as a result, with several others injured. But sure, let’s make the federal election all about U.S. President Donald Trump.
Local police quickly ruled out terrorism. How could they possibly know so fast?
Well, because they were apparently like, “Oh, it was just THAT guy.” And not because he hangs out at the doughnut shop with them and shoots the breeze, but because he’s out there doing enough criming that they know his exact brand of crime – and it isn’t terrorism.
Former first lady Michelle Obama got heavily trolled as a clip from her podcast, where she was seen complaining about the cost of living in the White House, went viral. In ‘The Diary of a CEO’ podcast, Michelle said though you don’t have to pay for living in the White House, every bit of the food is on you — prompting backlash from social media users on how out-of-touch she could be.
Poor Michelle Obama! How did she manage to live under such oppression? And now she only has a $10 million Martha’s Vineyard mansion! Who can function like that?
At least she didn’t have to suffer as much as Meghan Markle whose castle was too small.

Reality is absolutely downstream from fiction. Did the creators of South Park predict the future in their 1999 comedy film? I think we’re all suddenly realizing that prognostication is easy – Simply imagine the most absurd scenario possible and eventually it’s going to come true because we’re living in clown world.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) on Friday dared border czar Tom Homan to arrest her for what she claimed was legal advice she gave to migrants on how to avoid being deported.
Homan responded to the congresswoman’s taunt by saying he was already exploring her arrest with the U.S. Justice Department.
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — President Donald Trump, in a new interview, was circumspect about his duties to uphold due process rights laid out in the Constitution.
He also said he does not think military force will be needed to make Canada the “51st state” and played down the possibility he would look to run for a third term in the White House.
The comments in a wide-ranging, and at moments combative, interview with NBC’s “Meet the Press” came as the Republican president’s efforts to quickly enact his agenda face sharper headwinds with Americans just as his second administration crossed the 100-day mark, according to a recent poll by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.
Trump on Meet the Press:
Says he’ll talk 51st State with Mark Carney
Say he won’t need military force to annex CanadaWait a second
I thought Trump respected Canada’s sovereignty?
That’s what Carney told us before the electionGet your popcorn ready.

Lucy Powell dismissed the horrific rape gangs scandal as “little trumpet”, with critics deeming her comments “abhorrent” and calling for her to resign.
The Commons leader was speaking to political correspondent Tim Montgomerie on BBC’s Any Questions last night when a discussion about councils got heated.

Their vote whores are just like our vote whores.
During his election victory speech, Prime Minister Mark Carney repeated one of his favourite campaign slogans and vowed to make Canada a “clean energy superpower.” So, Canadians can expect Ottawa to “invest” more taxpayer money in “clean energy” projects, including electric vehicles (EVs) — the revolutionary transportation technology that’s been ready to replace internal combustion since 1901, yet still requires subsidies.
