Just experienced the most intense tear gassing of my life by federal officers outside the ICE facility in Portland where marchers gathered. There was no fast exit as they indiscriminately threw loads of gas and flash bangs. Children were in the crowd screaming. @oregoncapitalchronicle.com

Thorough summary of the independence movement in Alberta so far.
Be wary of the notion that Alberta's independence movement is growing. But due to changes by the UCP gov't, a referendum might happen anyway, activating a full-fledged independence campaign.

There’s no justification for shooting someone ten times in the back.
