Ted Morton: Yes or No separation question wrong way to hold referendum
Article content
The First Ministers' conference in Saskatoon has come and gone. Premier Danielle Smith says she was 'encouraged' by Prime Minister Mark Carney's remarks.
Maybe because Carney stated that there is 'real potential for an oil pipeline to tidewater.' But later, he qualified that it would have to be 'decarbonized oil.'
What will that mean? We just don't know.
What we do know is that if Quebec were treated like Alberta has been treated, it would have separated long ago. And if Albertans had the opportunity to renegotiate the terms of our relationship with Canada, we would never consent to the status quo.

Our Defence Minister on threats, bigger budgets, and Canada's new relationship with the U.S.
Canada's Minister of National Defence David McGuinty joins It's Political to discuss increases to the country's defense budget and what the relationship looks like with the U.S. going forward. The conversation follows Prime Minister Mark Carney's announcement this week that Canada will greatly increase military spending to 2 per cent of GDP just as NATO allies get together later this month to discuss raising the bar to 5 per cent. We also speak to industry experts about just how integrated the Canadian and American militaries are, and what it would mean to become less reliant on the U.S.

Security at G7 summit aims to keep delegates safe and protests far
The world's most powerful leaders are scheduled to converge in Kananaskis, a tiny Alberta tourist village in the Canadian Rockies, for a three-day summit starting Sunday, testing security services tasked with keeping everyone safe. Airspace restrictions kick in Saturday. Royal Canadian Air Force helicopters have been flying low-level nighttime missions in the area for a week now. And this spring, more than 200 local kids picked buffaloberry bushes around Kananaskis, to keep the bears away. As it hosts G7, Canada under pressure to further boost military spending by tens of billions The RCMP is leading the security effort at the G7 Leaders' Summit, working with the Calgary Police Service, provincial sheriffs and conservation officers, the Canadian military, and foreign governments, which will bring their own demands - and security details, to the global gathering. Thousands of participants are expected to descend on Kananaskis, Banff and Calgary. While Prime Minister Mark Carney hosts his global counterparts in Kananaskis Country, better known as K-Country in Alberta, the world's media will be working out of Banff. Organizers hope demonstrators will contain themselves to four designated spots – one in Banff and three in Calgary – far from leaders cloistered in the mountains. And security is about more than keeping delegates and demonstrators safe. It is about dazzling foreigners. While the helicopters and motorcades will be obvious, the public will likely be unaware of most of the measures. 'You are putting on a show for world leaders,' said Shiv Raj, a tour coordinator who previously worked for former prime minister Stephen Harper and Ontario Premier Doug Ford. 'Good security – you never see. Great logistics – you never hear about.' Explainer: The G7 summit is being held just outside Calgary. Here's who will be there and what these meetings achieve The Group of Seven is comprised of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States. The European Union also participates in the G7. Mr. Carney has invited leaders from Brazil, South Africa, India, the United Arab Emirates, South Korea, Mexico, Ukraine and Australia, the presidents of the European Commission and World Bank and the NATO secretary-general. The Rocky Mountains provide natural fortification to the summit site. Remote, secure locations can foster an intimacy among leaders that is not otherwise possible. Mr. Raj noted former U.S. president Barack Obama and Mr. Harper were able to steal away for a 10 to 12 minute stroll at the G8 in Northern Ireland in 2013. Cameras, but not microphones, captured their encounter. That level of privacy and casualness, conducive to building relationships, is not possible in cities such as Calgary or communities such as Banff, Mr. Raj noted. Laryssa Waler, the founder of Henley Strategies and the lead media coordinator for the papal visit to Canada in 2022, expects layers of backup plans. Vehicles and helicopters will be at the ready in case anyone needs to make a quick exit. Generators will be fired up immediately should the electricity fail. 'There's contingencies for contingencies,' she said. For G7 leaders, immense global challenges weigh on agenda overshadowed by Trump Security planning for the gathering has been underway for more than a year, according to Superintendent Joe Brar, the G7 event security director for the Calgary Police Service. Officers from Vancouver, Winnipeg, Edmonton and Tsuut'ina Nation will help CPS with its duties. Supt. Brar said police are speaking with groups planning to demonstrate during the G7. These small groups could glom together to form sizable protests in Banff and Calgary, far from the summit. The nearest RCMP-approved protest site – known as a Designated Demonstration Zone or DDZ in G7-speak – is a parking lot on the edge of Banff, roughly 80 kilometres west of the village of Kananaskis. RCMP, in a statement in May, said environmental and municipal concerns factored into the location decision. 'It took into consideration the safety of protesters as well as its accessibility and visibility to the main route leading to the G7 International Media Centre' at the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity. That, and RCMP said locals were not keen on demonstrators crowding downtown. RCMP approved three demonstration locations in Calgary: one at city hall, another in a park near the Stampede grounds and one at Edward H. LaBorde Viewing Area, where plane-spotters hang out on the public side of the security fence at Calgary International Airport. The sites near city hall and the Stampede grounds will be decked out with 'infrastructure to broadcast demonstrators' messages to G7 leaders' gathered in the mountains about 100 kilometres west of these downtown locations. 'Protesters will be encouraged to use these spaces to be both seen and heard,' the RCMP statement said. With files from The Canadian Press

It is our generation's moral test. Canada is failing it
When our children ask what we did as Gaza was systematically destroyed and its children killed, what will we say? This isn't rhetoric — it's a reckoning. The ICJ found it plausible that Israel's actions could amount to genocide and issued six provisional measures, requiring Israel to prevent genocidal acts and incitement, allow humanitarian aid into Gaza and preserve evidence of potential crimes. Leading legal and genocide scholars have called for action. This is echoed in a letter to Prime Minister Mark Carney by 412 Canadian experts in law, human rights and international relations — including former UN Ambassadors Stephen Lewis, Allan Rock, and Rosemary McCarney; UN Special Rapporteurs Michael Lynk, Leilani Farha, François Crépeau, John Dugard and Susan Bazilli; writers like Michelle Landsberg and Naomi Klein; and Alex Neve, former head of Amnesty Canada. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW Even former Israeli PM Ehud Olmert said war crimes are being committed. Gaza is being erased in plain sight. Families lie buried beneath rubble. Aid is blocked. Mass graves grow. Women cry as they mourn the death of a loved one killed during overnight Israeli bombardment on Thursday at al-Shifa hospital in Gaza City. OMAR AL-QATTAA AFP via Getty Ima Since the PM's joint statement with France and the U.K. warning of 'concrete actions' if Israel didn't halt its assault, 2,000 more Palestinians have been killed according to the Gaza health ministry. Since then, Israel announced 22 new illegal settlements in the West Bank and responded by launching a militarized 'aid' scheme with U.S. support, which has resulted in more deaths. Medical teams from Médecins Sans Frontières and Doctors Against Genocide have reported that children in Gaza are undergoing amputations without anesthesia, hospitals are bombed and that starvation is being used as a weapon of war. Across Europe, the tide is turning. Spain calls Israel a 'genocidal state' and has joined Ireland and Norway in recognizing Palestine. Slovenia has done the same. Belgium and Malta may be nex t. Britain has suspended trade talks. France is actively pursuing peace negotiations. But Canada remains stalled, offering symbolism instead of action. This week, Ottawa joined Australia, New Zealand, Norway and the U.K. to sanction two Israeli ministers — Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich — for openly 'inciting violence against Palestinians in the West Bank.' ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW Ottawa's sanctions are a historic step but simply sanctioning these ministers for articulating what has been apparent for the world to see over the past year and a half, is too little and too late. Israel's illegal seizure of the U.K.-flagged Madleen — a civilian aid ship carrying food, medicine, and activists, including Greta Thunberg — laid bare its sense of impunity. Intercepted in international waters, its passengers were detained, and the aid confiscated. Israel released footage of activists receiving food — propaganda aimed at masking a clear breach of international law and the ICJ's binding order for unimpeded aid access. Canada's response? Silence. Action is long overdue. As a Rome Statute signatory, Canada is obligated to prosecute war crimes — no matter who commits them. In the past, we prosecuted Rwandan war criminals and denied entry to torturers from Latin America and Africa. Canadians should be assured that the country is investigating alleged Israeli war crimes, as well as Canadians who served in Gaza, with the same vigour as we have others in the past. We have used Sections 34 to 36 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act to bar entry to those involved in war crimes, terrorism, or crimes against humanity. We should do the same for any Israelis shown to have been involved in crimes in Gaza. Finally, Canada must recognize Palestine, impose an arms embargo and support accountability through the ICC and ICJ. These are not symbolic gestures — they are legal and political tools that uphold international law and challenge impunity. This picture, taken from a position on the Israeli border with the Gaza Strip, shows destroyed buildings in the besieged Palestinian territory on Wednesday. JACK GUEZ AFP via Getty Images Supporting the ICC and ICJ means affirming their jurisdiction, co-operating with investigations and advocating for enforcement of their rulings — including the ICJ's order for Israel to allow unimpeded humanitarian aid into Gaza. Canada should also ensure its own policies, including military exports and immigration law, align with these international legal obligations. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW Recognition of Palestinian statehood is not a reward — it is a long overdue affirmation of the Palestinian people's right to self-determination. Denying that right while Gaza is razed and the West Bank is carved up by settlements only entrenches the apartheid status quo. Recognition would send a clear message: that international law is not optional, that equal dignity must apply to all peoples and that statehood is not contingent on Israel's approval. To delay recognition now — in the face of mass displacement, starvation, and systemic violence — is to signal that Palestinian lives are negotiable. It is not neutrality. It is complicity. As Canadian novelist Omar El Akkad wrote, when the dust settles, everyone will claim they were always against the atrocities in Gaza. But history remembers actions. Gaza is this generation's defining moral test. What we do now will be our answer when our children ask.
