The CLARITY ACT, officially known as An Act to give effect to the requirement for clarity as set out in the opinion of the Supreme Court of Canada in the Quebec Secession Reference, is federal legislation enacted in 2000 in response to the narrow 1995 Quebec referendum on sovereignty. It establishes the conditions under which the Government of Canada would enter into negotiations regarding the secession of a province.

Former CNN host Don Lemon was taken into custody by federal authorities on Friday over his involvement in the viral protest by anti-ICE agitators at a Minnesota church.
Earlier this month, Lemon livestreamed left-wing agitators who stormed St. Paul’s Cities Church under the suspicion that its pastor had collaborated with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Lemon told viewers that “the freedom to protest” is what the First Amendment is all about, but Justice Department officials have been working to hold the participants accountable.
Attorney General Pamela Bondi wrote on X, “At my direction, early this morning federal agents arrested Don Lemon, Trahern Jeen Crews, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lydell Lundy, in connection with the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota.”
The specific charges against Lemon have not been announced. DOJ officials have previously suggested the former CNN star and the other anti-ICE agitators had violated the FACE Act and the Ku Klux Klan Act, among other crimes.
Lemon, who would make his first court appearance as early as Friday, was apprehended in Los Angeles while covering the Grammy Awards, according to his attorney, Abbe Lowell.

Harmeet Dhillon, the Justice Department’s assistant attorney general for civil rights, previously suggested Lemon could face significant consequences for allegedly partaking in the storming of the church.
Day THREE HUNDRED SEVENTY-SIX of Presidential recovery.
Winter Storm at Split Rock, Lake Superior
Elected federal, state and local officials all over our country have increasingly been interfering in Presidential level political negotiations with foreign governments. Is that what is going on here?
But here’s the question nobody in Minnesota leadership seems willing to answer out loud: Were those also very good conversations with Cuban and Chinese agents?
Because here is the part that should stop every sane American in their tracks. Cuban and Chinese operatives are on the ground in Minneapolis. Not rumors. Not internet fan fiction.
I think it’s good that Homan is present in Minneapolis. Will things improve? It’s doubtful.
The activists aren’t leaving. They aren’t backing down on their “demands”. Blue city mayors across the country are increasing the rhetoric against I.C.E. and President Trump. There is talk that G.O.P. Senators will cut off funding to DHS in order to avoid a government shutdown.
I guess we will see.
Day THREE HUNDRED SEVENTY-FOUR of Presidential recovery.
“Right” and “Wrong” are only seldomly relevant in the analysis, and the law has a tolerance for alleged “mistakes” by law enforcement in fast moving and confusing situations.
Before anyone can FAIRLY evaluate the death of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, a THOROUGH understanding of the law on the question of “excessive use of force” is necessary. Facts are evaluated in light of the law, not the other way around — the law is not molded to fit the facts.
Before even looking at the facts — disputed and otherwise — regarding the Minneapolis shooting, what the law considers important must be understood.
There is no shortage of legal precedents on “use of force” claims. The level of force used by law enforcement is irrelevant — the question is always distilled down to whether the use of force was “reasonable” from an objective point of view — would a “reasonable officer” faced with the same circumstances have reacted in the same manner?
Two aspects of this question are of the utmost importance:
The review cannot benefit from the application of “20/20 hindsight.”
In almost every situation there is more than one “reasonable” reaction.
The factual scenario here is that several officers were involved in an effort to subdue a subject while in the process of placing him under arrest. During the course of that conduct, one or more officers resorted to the use of deadly force.
