A Calgary filmmaker who spent seven years documenting Alberta's separatist movement says the current push for independence in the province is part of a much larger conversation about Canada's future. Mathew Embry released his feature documentary, Section 38, on Oct. 8, ahead of Alberta's Oct. 19 referendum. The film examines the history of the separatist movement and the grievances behind it, while exploring broader questions about Canada's natural resources and its relationship with the United States. The title refers to Section 38 of the Constitution Act, 1982, which sets out a general procedure for amending Canada's Constitution. The title reflects both the constitutional questions surrounding Alberta's independence and the broader issues of sovereignty, national unity and Canada's future. Embry said he first began filming the movement during the early days of Wexit, when he was interested in concerns about Canada's approach to oil and gas development. "As a Calgary-born filmmaker, I've always been very interested in Alberta politics and politics across Canada and internationally, in particular when the separatist movement started," Embry said.

Prime Minister Mark Carney condemned the violence late Saturday night, calling the Houthis’ attacks on civilian infrastructure “abhorrent” and unjustified. “Canada condemns these reckless acts of violence in the strongest possible terms,” the prime minister said in his social media post. “We extend our deepest condolences to the families of those killed and wish a full recovery to those injured.”The airport remained closed Sunday and flight-tracking websites showed no air traffic around Riyadh on Sunday. The most recent strike in Riyadh came shortly after the Houthis blamed the Saudis for a strike against an airport in Sanaa, Yemen. The attacks mark an escalation in the broader Iran war in the Middle East. U. S. President Donald Trump has said on Saturday he is weighing whether to join the fight against the Houthis and said he plans to talk with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand posted on social media on Saturday that she has been in contact with Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan Al-Saud.

Canada’s ambassador to Saudi Arabia said on Sunday the embassy in Riyadh remains open for Canadians in need of consular assistance, which came as Ottawa condemned Houthi attacks on the international airport in Riyadh. Ambassador Jean-Philippe Linteau said in a video on Sunday that anyone in Riyadh who encounters military debris should walk away and contact authorities, and not post about it on social media. The Saudi-led coalition fighting Houthi rebels in Yemen said another projectile hit a passenger terminal at the Riyadh airport on Sunday. That comes just a day after a missile attack on the same terminal killed 12 people and injured hundreds more. Canada issued a travel advisory to avoid all non-essential travel to Saudi Arabia, and to avoid all travel to the King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh. Prime Minister Mark Carney condemned the violence late Saturday night, calling the Houthis’ attacks on civilian infrastructure “abhorrent” and unjustified. Story continues below advertisement

Since December 15, 2025, a Canadian ancestor, any number of generations back, can make you a Canadian citizen by descent if you were born before that date. To confirm it, you apply for proof of Canadian citizenship and show a documented and direct unbroken lineage from your Canadian ancestor to you.

A Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) gives you a lot of flexibility, but that flexibility can also lead to mistakes. You can withdraw money whenever you want without paying tax, which sounds simple enough. The part Canadians sometimes forget is that you have to wait until the next calendar year to get that withdrawal amount added back to your contribution room limit. Put the money back too soon without enough available room, and you could create an overcontribution problem. That is one reason I always recommend treating a TFSA as a place for long-term investing instead of constant trading and withdrawals. The longer you remain invested in fundamentally strong businesses, the more time their earnings, dividends, and share-price growth have to compound.
