Tune in Live! The Constitutionality of an Alberta Independence Referendum Proposal – First Peoples Law LLP
November 18, 2025
A private citizen in Alberta has proposed that a referendum be held asking whether Alberta should secede from the rest of Canada. The Alberta Court of King’s Bench will hold a hearing to determine whether the proposal is constitutional, or if it contravenes s.1-35(1) of the Constitution Act, 1982. The hearing is scheduled for this week, November 19-21.
Several First Nations are intervening in the hearing to protect their Aboriginal and Treaty rights and will be making submissions this week.
