## Resource

Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew sharply rebukes Alberta Premier Danielle Smith over her dismissal of Indigenous consultation requirements for a potential separation referendum, arguing that the Alberta government—not petition organizers—has a legal duty to consult First Nations, especially since such a move would directly affect treaty rights. Kinew backs the court’s recent ruling blocking the petition and urges Smith to pause separation talks while major infrastructure projects are underway, calling for unity on Canada’s future. Smith, meanwhile, plans to appeal the decision, insisting the court’s interpretation undermines democratic processes. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
