‘Into the lion’s den’; Amid criticism, Alberta’s Smith set to attend U.S. fundraiser

Premier Danielle Smith is getting set to fly to Florida for an event hosted by a far-right U.S. influencer, with her chief of staff calling the foray a patriotic act of courage by a ``noble'' leader. Smith is to make a speaking appearance this week with conservative media personality Ben Shapiro at an upcoming fundraiser for PragerU, despite weeks of calls for her to cancel. Alberta's Opposition NDP is renewing its demand that Smith abandon the trip, saying she is using taxpayer money to fundraise for an extremist organization after she's asked Americans to interfere in Canada's election.

Judge's illness delays sentencing for parents guilty of Calgary toddler's death

A sentencing hearing for a Calgary couple who killed their badly burned and emaciated toddler has been delayed because the judge fell ill. Sonya Pasqua and Michael Sinclair pleaded guilty to manslaughter in December after Gabriel Sinclair-Pasqua died in 2021 after suffering major burns to a third of his body. Justice Glen Poelman told the court as the hearing was to start that he had been sick all weekend and wasn't well enough to proceed. A new hearing date will be set on Friday.
