[[File:Danielle Smith in 2011.jpg|Danielle_Smith_in_2011]]Albertans voted for a referendum to leave Canada and become independent. It looks like it’s becoming more realistic. They say they have the required number of signatures to trigger a referendum. However, legal and political hurdles make a vote for independence seem unlikely. According to the Edmonton Journal, a leading figure in the Alberta separatist movement claims the group has met the signature threshold to potentially trigger a referendum and is challenging Premier Danielle Smith to support the push for independence. Jeffrey Rath, the lawyer for the Alberta Prosperity Project, told Postmedia in an interview Tuesday that separatist canvassers had gathered more than the required 177,732 signatures and expect to far surpass that number before the May 2 deadline. Pro-independence groups, including the Alberta Prosperity Project and Stay Free Alberta, actively collect signatures to trigger a referendum on independence. The petition requires approximately 177,000 valid signatures by May 2, 2026, to qualify for the ballot. These efforts include town halls, rallies, and canvassing across the province. Recent polling indicates that support for Alberta’s independence is a minority position. An Angus Reid survey found that 65% of Albertans would vote to stay in Canada or lean that way, while only 29% would vote for separation. Support is higher among younger residents and some United Conservative Party (UCP) voters, but overall, the majority favors remaining part of Canada. Polls also show that Albertans are concerned about economic risks if Alberta pursued independence, and people fear it would face the risk of annexation by the U.S.. Premier Smith personally opposes outright separation but has committed to respecting the democratic process if the petition qualifies. Canada’s far-left government taxes them exorbitantly while limiting their ability to exploit their natural resources.

No one seems terribly bothered by the possibility of the UN’s extinction. Perhaps because it is a failed organization. The UN spokesperson outlined the problems: some member states are not paying their dues, and if the UN does not spend the funds of some member states, it must return them. “Uh, the Secretary General has, as you know, repeatedly made clear the problem both of non-payment of dues by member states and the related problem of the UN being forced to repay member states for budget expenses that it does not, that IT budget money that it does not spend. And so those two factors have put us on an unsustainable trajectory. [That was their slush fund.] “Although more than 150 member states paid their dues last year. “We ended 2025 with a record one point $56 billion in outstanding dues, which is more than double that of the previous year. So unless either the payments come in or we’re not compelled to spend, to return the money, the monies that we are not able to spend because we didn’t receive, because we didn’t receive the budget. Unless one of those two things happens, we face a real danger of running out of money.” Sounds good. Run out of money already. The useless behemoth needs to go. The UN pays high salaries and never intervenes to save us from wars. It’s a propaganda tool for unsavory characters, especially globalists. UN Secretary-General António Guterres warns the organization faces collapse without continued U.S. funding, which contributes roughly $2.2 billion to its core budget. “the United Nations is on the brink of total collapse” pic.twitter.com/OM17TgCgqY — Brandon Straka #WalkAway (@BrandonStraka) April 2, 2026 They are worse than worthless to the United States.

President Donald Trump has expressed frustration and disappointment with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer, Politico reported. No final decisions have been made on Chavez-DeRemer and Lutnick. It could change. The information came from Politico’s anonymous sources. However, The Washington Post offers the same information, possibly with different anonymou sources. He is looking to make other changes in the Cabinet. If President Trump doesn’t see the changes he likes, he changes the leadership. Time is important here. He also doesn’t like to see Cabinet officials receive too much negative attention. White House Spokesperson Taylor Rogers said both Chavez-DeRemer and Lutnick are “doing a great job standing up for American workers” and continue to have the president’s “full support.” A third official, speaking on behalf of Lutnick, said they were unaware of any plans to replace him, adding: “Everyone is thrilled with the job Howard has done — on trade deals, pharmaceuticals, Japan, tariffs, all of it.” Despite this, another official described Lutnick as being on “thin ice.” This isn’t the first time the president has considered removing him. IBT Reports suggest FBI Director Kash Patel, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, and Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer could soon leave amid internal tensions and policy disagreements. The President’s poll numbers are low. As for the Attorney General position, Todd Blanche is allegedly in the lead according to multiple reports. Most of his fervent supporters think Blanche, a Democrat, is another agenda killer. The post The List of Who’s Next in Cabinet Firings appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

U.S. Army Gen. Randy A. George, 41st. The Chief of Staff for the Army poses for his official portrait in the Army portrait studio at the Pentagon in Arlington, Va., Oct. 03, 2023. (U.S. Army photo by William Pratt) Secretary of War Pete Hegseth fired three generals. The only explanation given was that the administration wants generals more in line with their vision. The Generals who were fired were Gen. David Hodne, head of Transformation and Training Command; Maj. Gen. William Green Jr., chief of the Chaplain Corps; and, previously, Army Chief of Staff Randy George. As for the Chief of the Chaplain Corps, comments were made that instead of self-help groups, they want more God in the Corps. Randy George, Joe Biden’s senior military aide, was set to retire next year. It happens under every president. Here is an incomplete list. Lincoln fired Generals George B. McClellan, Ambrose Burnside, Joseph Hooker, John Pope, Irvin McDowell, and John C. Frémont. FDR fired Admiral Husband E. Kimmel and General Walter Short. Truman terminated General Douglas MacArthur’s employment. Obama fired General David McKiernan, General Stanley McChrystal, Rear Admiral Charles Gaouette, and General Petraeus had to resign.

Kersten Francilus, 25, has been charged with murder after allegedly stabbing a woman to death in Southwood, Florida.Martin County Sheriff’s Office/Facebook Kersten Francilus, who lives in the nearby community of Wellington, is accused of attacking a woman in her 70s as she walked her dog Friday in the Southwood neighborhood in Stuart, Sheriff John Budensiek said. Neighbors had called the police because he was going door to door asking where the new bank was. There was no new bank. The elderly woman was just walking her dog in a retirement community when Francilius attacked her. She was able to deflect some of the knife attacks. A Good Samaritan tried to intervene in the attack but was unsuccessful in stopping it. The suspect was on top of her, actively stabbing her. The civilian who tried to intervene could not get the male off of her,” Budensiek said. When a deputy arrived and pointed a gun at Francilus, the Sheriff says Francilus surrendered. When confronted by the deputy, Francilus immediately dropped the knife and surrendered. The victim suffered stab wounds to the upper torso and was transported to the Cleveland Clinic Martin South, where she died, authorities said. “This was a violent, vile homicide,” Budensiek said. Police said there is no known connection between Francilus and the victim, and no clear motive has been identified. “At this point, this appears like an extremely violent, random act of violence,” Budensiek said. Francilus stabbed her 16 times with a steak knife. He could only describe her to the police as Jewish.
