The more Trump allies covet Alberta, the less popular separatism may get
To the ears of one Politico reporter , this was “a U.S. cabinet secretary cheering on a split in Canada.”U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent made his remarks about Alberta independence after returning from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. (AP)This Trump administration heavyweight, one could clarify, wasn’t directly musing about Alberta becoming part of the United States. Pro-separation lawyer Jeffrey Rath said he's been talking Alberta independence with Trump administration officials, and becoming part of the United States hasn't been on the table. A solo Alberta would have a “common market” with the United States and zero tariffs, he said. He suggested that Alberta separatists may be interested in independence for now, but that would only be an intermediate measure.

GDB 53.0: Oilers need to show signs of life against the Capitals (8PM MT, CBC)
GDB 53.0: Oilers need to show signs of life against the Capitals (8PM MT, CBC)The Edmonton Oilers are a couple of days removed from an embarrassing beatdown by the Penguins , and tonight’s game feels like it should come with a bit of a lecture. The Oilers dropped their last two games in horrific fashion, not because they were unlucky, but because they didn’t look particularly interested in playing winning hockey. Special teams are still an area where the Oilers should feel confident, assuming the boys actually show up ready to work. I don’t even care if they lose, provided that the effort is there and they look like they actually want to be playing hockey. – RoySandin – Van RiemsdykLindgrenWith the Capitals playing last night, I haven’t seen any updates on their line combos, aside from Jacob Chychrun being day-to-day.

NWT’s Northern Journalism Training Initiative is shutting down
The Northern Journalism Training Initiative, established to help NWT residents access the world of journalism and broadcasting, has run out of funding and will close next month. NJTI was formed after a group of northern and Indigenous media workers gathered in 2020 to create an organization that would “empower northern people to tell northern stories.”By 2023, the initiative was delivering its first four-week intensive program to an all-Indigenous class of prospective storytellers in Inuvik. A second four-week program ran in Hay River last year, offering workshops with journalists alongside classroom based and on-location training. Now, Jefferd-Moore says NJTI’s mission will need to live on in the people who participated in its programming – and in newsrooms like CBC North and Cabin Radio. She described asking newsroom editors if they would be inclined to hire northerners graduating from a four-week NJTI program over southerners with a four-year journalism degree.

Kori Cheverie focused on growth as Victoire continue to try and find the right combinations
The Montreal Victoire remain a work in progress — and head coach Kori Cheverie is more than comfortable with that reality. The Victoire shuffled their lines in their recent game against the Minnesota Frost, which Cheverie said was part circumstance and part opportunity. With all 14 forwards healthy only recently, she acknowledged how tricky it is to settle on consistent combinations. As a result, finding chemistry will take time, but she’s encouraged by what she’s seen so far. Cheverie had nothing but praise for Ann-Renée Desbiens, calling this the strongest stretch she’s seen from the veteran goalie.
