This refers to the father of Emmett, the 11 year old who was killed by the shooter. Apparently Emmett had two brothers, who will be cared for by their grandparents; the father says he has had little contact in the last eight years. It's hard to imagine what those boys are going through.
It could take decades to recover from Alberta separatism: Jason Kenney

It seems to me that #JasonKenney has been very visible lately; could just be the YouTube algorithm, I suppose. I predict he will take the lead of the federalist campaign in the likely Alberta referendum on separation.

Hmm. This makes me feel old and out-of-touch. Maybe I shouldn't have skipped that event at the Calgary convention...

"A Foreign Influence Registry was supposed to be an outcome of all the public attention that was focused on Beijing’s influence operations, but it’s still not in place, five years after a registry modelled on American and Australian laws was first introduced in the House of Commons."
When I saw former MP Kenny Chiu in Calgary, he was very concerned that the Registry was moving so slowly.
