Alberta referendum questions court scrutiny faces political clash
Alberta chief electoral officer Gordon McClure defends seeking court ruling on a proposed separation referendum question, saying the process follows Citizen Initiative Act and requires constitutional review. Premier Smith and Justice Minister Amery urge withdrawal of the court reference, arguing for a quick, voluntary citizen initiative path. The question asks whether Alberta should become a sovereign country, with 177,000 signatures needed in four months if approved.

Quebec auditor probes battery subsidies
The office of Quebec's auditor general says it is investigating multimillion dollar subsidies to the electric battery industry. Major players like Lion Electric and Northvolt face financial strains as a report is due in spring. Northwest received 270 million to its Swedish parent before bankruptcy. Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec tied up 200 million. Lion Electric was bought after bankruptcy protection, erasing much of the investment.
