Alberta Separation Referendum Shakes Canadian Politics

  Alberta — the oil-rich western province now at the heart of a historic political showdown.  Canada is facing one of its most significant constitutional crossroads in decades. The Alberta separation movement, long dismissed by many as fringe politics, has reached a formal milestone that is now forcing the entire country — and every Canadian's wallet — to pay close attention. 🗳️ The Signatures Are In — And They Exceeded the Target On May 4, 2026, the separatist group Stay Free Alberta delivered nearly 302,000 signed petitions to Elections Alberta in Edmonton — well above the 178,000 required to trigger a provincial referendum.

UK Blunder: Convicted Asylum Seeker Accidentally Freed from Prison

Ethiopian national Hadush Kebatu was meant to be sent to an immigration detention centre from HMP Chelmsford ahead of a planned deportation on Friday but Justice Secretary David Lammy said the 41-year-old is now "at large" in London.

An Ethiopian asylum seeker convicted of sexually assaulting a teenage girl and a woman in Britain has been mistakenly released from prison, sparking outrage and a nationwide manhunt.

Hadush Gerberslasie Kebatu, 38, was sentenced in September to 12 months behind bars for the assaults, which had already ignited angry protests outside the Bell Hotel in Epping, Essex, where he had been housed with other asylum seekers.

Instead of being transferred to an immigration detention centre for deportation, Kebatu was wrongly freed from Chelmsford Prison. Justice Secretary David Lammy said he was “appalled” by the error and confirmed that an urgent investigation has been launched. Police are now working to track him down, with the Metropolitan Police taking charge of the search.

The case has reignited tensions over immigration policy and detention procedures, with critics calling the release a “serious failure” of the justice system. Families of victims have expressed anger, saying the blunder has left them feeling betrayed and unsafe.

Authorities have urged the public to remain vigilant while the search continues.
