Danielle Smith’s dangerous referendum rhetoric threatens Canada’s Constitution and Indigenous treaty rights
The explosive political climate Danielle Smith is stoking in Alberta could lead to Constitutional unravelling, further harm to treaty rights and violence against those she suggests a threat to her agenda.

When treaty rights got in separatists’ way, Danielle Smith called it a ‘legal error.’ She’s the one who erred

A court ruling froze Alberta’s separatist petition process. As recent headlines have revealed, however, the cause is far from extinguished. Eight analysts unpack the fallout of one of the most consequential legal decisions in recent Canadian politics: ow.ly/jZnh50Z3reT
On the left: an image of two flag poles flying the Canadian flag (lower) and the Alberta provincial flag (higher). On the right: text that reads “Can Alberta still separate? Experts clash over the landmark court decision. A cross-country panel debates one of the most consequential rulings in years”

Wednesday’s court ruling blocking Alberta separatists’ efforts to hold a secession referendum this fall is a reminder that treaties are foundational to Canada’s existence, write @ginastar.bsky.social and James Rowe. #canpoli

Ottawa, like the secessionists, aims to extract maximum resources. First Nations have enduring rights.

Just wrote a short analysis for the @ca.theconversation.com about how the recent assassination attempt on Trump will land politically. theconversation.com/another-alle...

Another alleged attempt on Trump’s life: Is it a political lifeline or a damaging sign of weakness?
While those around Donald Trump are trying to spin the latest alleged attempt on his life as more evidence of his super humanity, the U.S. president is looking more mortal by the day.
