Independence eh? Canada’s referendum

Canada's separatist revivals in Alberta and Quebec compound Carney's trade-war pressures just as China's state-driven neurotech industry races to rival Neuralink.

• Alberta referendum stakes: Alberta votes on a non-binding secession question; analyst Robert Russo says results above the historical ~30% support level risk the sentiment "metastasizing" even if independence itself fails.
• Quebec separatism revives: The Parti Québécois, newly elected on a separatist platform under Paul Saint-Pierre Plamondon, aims to pick fights with Ottawa to rebuild support toward a future referendum.
