Alberta’s push for a separation referendum faces scrutiny as former minister Stéphane Dion demands clarity on legal and constitutional impacts before any vote.
Former federal minister Stéphane Dion urged Alberta Premier Danielle Smith to clarify her position on separation before any referendum, stressing the need for transparency on economic, legal, and constitutional impacts.
Dion highlighted concerns that Alberta could hold a vote without committing to negotiations, undermining the clarity required by Canada’s Clarity Act.
He criticized recent rule changes that ease referendum access and warned against symbolic actions lacking thorough analysis.
The call comes amid a petition seeking over 178,000 signatures to force a vote, reflecting growing scrutiny over Alberta’s role in Canada and national unity.
