Petition urging Alberta to stay in Canada reaches required signature threshold

A provincewide petition asserting that Alberta should remain within Canada has met the legal threshold and has been formally validated by Elections Alberta. The petition, launched by former deputy premier Thomas Lukaszuk, gathered more than 400,000 verified signatures, surpassing the minimum needed to trigger a legislative review. Under provincial law, the successful verification sends the matter to an all-party committee of the Alberta legislature, which will determine whether a provincewide referendum on national unity should move ahead. The process is part of Alberta’s citizen-initiative

Smith reiterates UCP’s commitment to remaining in Canada as party debates direction

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith is stressing that the United Conservative Party remains committed to working within Canada, even as internal divisions over the province’s future surfaced at the party’s weekend convention. The gathering came one week after Alberta and the federal government announced a major energy agreement, a deal that drew a mixed response from grassroots members and prompted renewed questions about the party’s stance on Confederation. During the convention, several figures associated with the party’s pro-independence movement received strong support, including standi

Algoma Steel announces 1,000 layoffs as U.S. tariffs force early transition to new production model

Algoma Steel says it will lay off roughly 1,000 employees as the company accelerates a major shift in its operations to respond to steep U.S. trade tariffs. The Sault Ste. Marie–based producer confirmed the notices were issued Monday, with the cuts taking effect in March. Company representatives say the 50 per cent tariff imposed by the United States last year sharply reduced access to its largest export market. With about 2,700 employees, Algoma has been among the Canadian steelmakers most affected by the ongoing trade dispute, which replaced a previously integrated North American steel sup
