## Resource

Alberta’s future hangs in the balance as a major online summit, “Alberta and the West,” kicks off this weekend, bringing together top voices to debate secession. Co-chaired by Preston Manning and Gordon Campbell, the event aims to inform Albertans ahead of the October 19 referendum. Premier Danielle Smith will argue for stronger provincial sovereignty within Canada, while Sunday’s lineup includes pro-secession advocates like Keith Wilson and critics like Stephen Carter. All perspectives are welcome — and the entire summit will be livestreamed for public participation. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
