On Monday, Prime Minister Mark Carney said — not for the first time — that Canada is “the most European of non-European countries.” He said it in May, too, in France; and Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly said it as well, in an interview with BBC. So it’s obviously a deliberate talking point. What’s weird about it is that Carney and Joly offer no explanation.

On Monday, the Alberta provincial riding of Olds-Didsbury-Three Hills gave us a clear, unmistakeable snapshot of the elusive Alberta-separatist Sasquatch — and it turns out he’s about the size of a Yorkshire terrier. In 1982, Olds-Didsbury, as it then was, became the only Alberta riding ever to elect a separatist legislator, the still-living and still-radical Gordon Kesler. In 2025, Kesler’s latter-day successor, Conservative MLA and Assembly Speaker Nathan Cooper, resigned to take a job as Alberta’s official agent in Washington. Read More
