Alberta's separation talk is getting louder, and a man who organized Quebec's 1980 referendum is watching closely. Andrew Caddell has seen this before. The phrases are familiar. The math is not.

He organized on the ground and found the people running the movement were nothing like the people in the legislature. That gap mattered in 1980. Caddell says it matters now, and the question itself might be the biggest problem.

There are also 5,000 American troops suddenly deployed to Poland, a Jean Béliveau jersey that may have saved the Canadiens' season, and a question about whether Montreal's erotic dancers have enough leverage to disrupt F1 weekend.

Topics: Alberta separation, Quebec referendum, Montreal Canadiens, NATO Poland, F1 Montreal
