Ten people were detained by Israeli police in a rare raid targeting settlers involved in violence.

Albertans voted on whether to start a process that could lead to the province’s independence from Canada. The vote is not a direct choice on independence but decides if Alberta will hold a future referendum. This comes amid tensions over U.S. President Trump’s trade policies and threats toward Canada.
Key Facts
Alberta is rich in oil, holding most of Canada’s proven oil reserves, the fourth largest in the world.
More than 1.35 million Albertans (43% of eligible voters) cast early or special ballots before the vote day.
The referendum asks if Alberta should keep its status as a province or begin official steps toward separation.
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, who opposes independence, called the referendum due to pressure from separatists in her party.
Prime Minister Mark Carney urged Albertans to vote for unity and said the vote is very important for Canada’s future.
The vote is influenced by anger over COVID-19 mandates and restrictions, which mobilized separatist support.
The separatist movement has grown from a small fringe group into a more significant political force in Alberta.
Canadian nationalism in Alberta has increased partly due to President Trump’s trade war and threats to claim Canada as a U.S. state.
