## Resource

The federal government is reviewing Alberta’s secession referendum question under the Clarity Act, sparking political firestorms as the Bloc Québécois defends Alberta’s right to self-determination while accusing Ottawa of overreach. Critics highlight the Act’s vague “clear majority” definition, while First Nations urge federal scrutiny, arguing the issue impacts all Canadians. Justice Minister Fraser avoids political commentary but warns fragmentation would be disastrous, while Bloc MPs label the Act anti-democratic. Meanwhile, intergovernmental leaders call for unity, criticizing the Bloc for refusing to collaborate. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
