There were no mass crowds in St. Peter’s Square on the second day of the Vatican conclave to elect a new pope. The evening of March 13, 2013 – a Wednesday – was wet and miserable and everyone knew the secret polling among the 115 elector-cardinals could take a few days, weeks even.

The Premiers of Ontario and Alberta offered contrasting views on the success of the first in-person meeting between Prime Minister Mark Carney and U.S. President Donald Trump, as tensions between the two provinces were exposed over unity concerns bubbling up in the West. However, both Doug Ford and Danielle Smith said it’s clear that Mr. Trump far prefers dealing with Mr. Carney than former prime minister Justin Trudeau, which they hoped would benefit Canada in the long run.

A First Nations chief in Alberta says he will push for a referendum to have Premier Danielle Smith kicked out of office if she doesn’t agree to meet with him and other Indigenous leaders across the West amid the separatist talk they say violates treaty rights. In a letter dated May 2, Chief Clifford Poucette of Goodstoney First Nation requested a formal meeting with Ms. Smith to discuss mounting concerns over what he says are government efforts to “loosen referendum rules and entertain conversations that embolden Alberta’s separatist movement.”
