Two Liberal staffers made fake, Trump-style buttons and planted them at a conference of Canadian conservatives last week.

OTTAWA — Former Alberta premier Jason Kenney says when it comes to calls from within the province to separate from Canada, political leaders shouldn’t let the “small minority dominate the agenda.”
