Ukraine Marks Somber Anniversary as Zelenskyy Vows Resolve Amid Fractured Allied Support

Ukrainians pay tribute to victims of the Russian invasion, on the day marking the fourth anniversary of the full-scale Russian invasion. As Ukraine enters another year of full‑scale war, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy used the anniversary to deliver a message of defiance and endurance. Speaking to the nation, he emphasized that Ukraine’s determination to resist Russia has not weakened, even as the conflict grinds on with no clear end in sight. Zelenskyy highlighted the sacrifices made by civilians and soldiers alike, framing Ukraine’s struggle as a fight for national survival and democratic values.

Alberta Independence Rally Sparks Debate at Legislature

 

Hundreds of Albertans gathered at the Alberta Legislature in Edmonton on Saturday to rally in support of separating from Canada. The demonstration, fueled by frustration over federal policies and the recent Liberal election victory, saw participants waving Alberta flags and even some displaying U.S. flags. 

Premier Danielle Smith’s government recently proposed legislation that would lower the threshold for holding a referendum, making it easier for citizens to push for a vote on secession. While Smith has not explicitly endorsed separation, the move has emboldened those advocating for Alberta’s independence. 

The rally was met with opposition from Indigenous groups, who argued that separation would violate treaty agreements. Piikani Nation Chief Troy Knowlton emphasized that Alberta does not have the authority to interfere with or negate treaties, reinforcing the complexity of the issue. 

As tensions rise, the debate over Alberta’s future within Canada continues to unfold, with both supporters and critics making their voices heard.
