AFN national chief says Alberta separation cannot proceed without First Nations consent

The national chief of the Assembly of First Nations says any attempt by Alberta to separate from Canada would require the consent of First Nations and cannot proceed without respecting treaty rights. Speaking Tuesday at an AFN conference in Calgary, Cindy Woodhouse Nepinak described the province’s separatist movement as illegitimate and unconstitutional. She said Canada is founded on treaties between the Crown and First Nations, and those agreements would remain in force regardless of provincial political movements. “Canada is treaty territory,” Woodhouse Nepinak told delegates. “First

Jason Kenney to debate Alberta separatism in May events

Former Alberta premier Jason Kenney will participate in two public debates this spring on the question of provincial separation, facing off against a Calgary lawyer who supports Alberta leaving Canada.
