Summary
Alberta’s upcoming referendum is heating up as Prime Minister Mark Carney signals the federal government won’t apply the Clarity Act—designed for Quebec’s secession—to Alberta’s vote. The Bloc Québécois pushes back, arguing that a simple majority should suffice, but Carney insists the federal government must follow Parliament and the Supreme Court’s interpretation of “clear majority.” This constitutional showdown, rooted in Canada’s secession history, could reshape how provinces pursue independence—and how the federal government responds.
