Alberta’s NDP leader Naheed Nenshi rallied hundreds in Calgary, warning that a looming referendum on separation could be a dangerous distraction — one designed by Premier Danielle Smith to sidestep urgent issues like affordability and healthcare.

Alberta’s controversial grizzly bear culling program has already claimed ten bears this year, mostly in the southwest where livestock conflicts are escalating. Launched in 2024, it permits private hunters to kill problem bears deemed habituated or responsible for livestock kills — a move officials insist isn’t a return to the banned hunt. Critics warn it’s effectively an unregulated hunting season, risking innocent bears and females, while calling for better alternatives. Despite claims that
