A reason why provinces should think twice about separation: Canada's CPP pension fund ranks 6th in the world in size and 2nd in the world in performance. This does more than ensure retirement benefits. The fund also serves as an important lever in increasing investor confidence in Canada's govt.

Public dollars shouldn't be used to prop up fossil fuel projects. Let markets manage risk. Governments should focus on creating the conditions for climate-competitive investments: ⚡ Clean electricity 🔌 Stronger grid connections ☀️ More renewable energy

Poster announcing a province-wide day of protest on Saturday, October 17. The top of the poster reads “SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17” followed by “PROVINCE-WIDE DAY OF PROTEST” in large yellow and white lettering on a black background. The poster asks, “OUTRAGED BY THE DIRECTION OF OUR PROVINCE UNDER DANIELLE SMITH AND THE UCP?” with a highlighted message, “YOU’RE NOT ALONE!”

A list of protest demands appears on the left: “NO SEPARATING FROM CANADA,” “NO BECOMING THE 51ST STATE,” “NO AI DATA CENTRES,” “NO TWO-TIER HEALTHCARE,” “NO CORPORATE GREED,” “NO MINING THE ROCKIES,” “NO SCAPEGOATING IMMIGRANTS,” “NO LOW WAGES,” “NO THREATENING PENSIONS,” and “NO TO THE STATUS QUO.”

On the right, large text reads “WE’RE SAYING NO!” with “SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17” underneath, accompanied by a raised-fist graphic and exclamation mark. A yellow banner states, “TENS OF THOUSANDS OF ALBERTANS ARE COMING TOGETHER TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST A ROGUE GOVERNMENT.”

The St. Albert protest details are displayed at the bottom: “ST. ALBERT 11:30 - 1PM,” “PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE,” and “MCKENNEY/BELLEROSE.” A QR code appears at lower right. Text below the location says, “FIND THE PROTEST NEAREST YOU: FightBackNow.ca.” The poster identifies Fight Back Now! as a campaign of the Alberta Federation of Labour, with the email afl@afl.org. The overall design uses black, white, and bright yellow, with bold typography and high-contrast text.

A nurse in blue scrubs walks down a brightly lit hospital corridor, seen from behind. Other healthcare workers in scrubs and masks are visible further down the hallway, some standing near medical carts and equipment. The walls are white with blue protective trim and handrails. Above the image, a news headline reads, "What is the XFG Covid variant? Cases on rise as hospitalisations up more than 400% in a month," attributed to Rebecca Whittaker for The Independent, dated October 6, 2026.
