Alberta separatism: Smith wants provincial sovereignty "within a United Canada"

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChLtXXpo4Ge1ReTEboVvTDg https://ift.tt/4UfsMhB On Thursday, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith was asked about her personal position on Alberta separating from Canada. Smith responded by saying that she believes in "Alberta's sovereignty within a United Canada." Smith’s government has proposed legislation that would make it easier for citizens to call for a referendum on seceding from Canada. Meanwhile, Chief Sheldon Sunshine of Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation and Mikisew Cree Nation Chief Billy-Joe Tuccaro said in a letter that the premier is enabling a referendum on separation, and a “fanatical cell of individuals,” when Canadians need to unite against U.S. tariffs. To which Smith replied Thursday, saying "Any Albertan can put an idea forward on any topic. And if they're able to get the number of signatures, then it would go to a vote, that includes a vote of members of First Nations and we encourage Indigenous peoples to participate."
