In his timely new book The Republic of Alberta: An Idea That Won’t Go Away (out now with Sutherland House), journalist Tyler Dawson examines the long history and renewed force of Alberta separatism, and traces how a province that remains overwhelmingly Canadian has nonetheless developed a deep and durable sense of alienation from Ottawa, and the rest of the country. In this exclusive excerpt, Dawson reveals the political tensions that followed the 2025 federal election and explores why, for many Albertans, the question is not simply whether Alberta should leave Canada, but whether Canada has ever truly understood what Alberta contributes — and what it expects in return.

The announcement sparked understandable outrage from European leaders who thought they had a deal. But it’s also poised to hurt American consumers, who are running up auto loan debt on increasingly expensive vehicles and may lose access to the few remaining affordable models if manufacturers pull them from the market. Trump’s tariffs are also, perversely, creating opportunities for Chinese automakers who are moving into Canada to fill the space created by exiting U.S. carmakers. Read More

Today, an arguably greater bilingualism imperative is emerging. The workers who will thrive in the next decade will be fluent in both domain expertise and AI. Read More

Israel’s kinetic war against Hamas has been successful. Although still defiant, Hamas is a shadow of its pre-October 7 self. The possibility of an October 7 reprisal is forever nil.
