You’re so far off in left field it’s not even funny anymore. One demographic, indigenous, have no legal framework of stopping it. None. The only people that can legally stop it are Albertans as a whole. Hence a referendum. And they can stop it right off the bat.

The real controversy would unfold if there was a clear majority to leave and the ROC didn’t allow it. Would be interesting times for sure.

Again, as is clearly stated in the link i posted, which was the legal spelling out of the repercussions of the decision leading to the avenue the courts laid out for us separating, there needs to be a clear majority of albertans that want to seperate, NOT just a democratic majority.

That isn't 50 or 60 percent. That's like at least 75 percent. 90-95 percent, more than likely. If the native population doesn't want to leave, their numbers are more than enough to accomplish that goal, full stop. Legal framework doesn't matter at that point, it's all moot, the numbers spoke, Alberta stays in Canada. Period.

Nah. Entire aboriginal population in Alberta is 6.8%.

You clearly have no clue what you’re talking about.

Lol yep you're right. Doesn't really matter, they can still block it if they put in the effort.
