I’ve got a cup of coffee and a dream to make it through this day.

A Canadian is fighting back in U.S. federal court over what he says is an attempt by the Department of Homeland Security, through Google, to seek "vast swaths of information" about his personal life following social media posts critical of Donald Trump's administration.

The Canadian John Doe plaintiff on Monday sued Markwayne Mullin, the current DHS secretary, in a lawsuit that contends DHS is engaged in "a transparent gambit to chill speech the government doesn't like." The suit was brought by American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) offices in D.C., where DHS is located, and in northern California, the jurisdiction where Google has its headquarters.

I bought a ticket for Monday’s Alberta Christian Leadership Summit in Red Deer, keen to report on the event that promised a chance for religious leaders to talk about “faith, leadership and public policy in Alberta” with Premier Danielle Smith and other politicians.

But the night before, organizers called and told me, without providing a reason, that I was being deregistered and they were refunding my $200 fee. I wasn’t alone. A journalist from a major news outlet also got the call.

The summit’s website promises a “direct dialogue between Christian leadership and Alberta’s government [to help] shape the policies affecting our families, churches, and communities.”
