💨 Abstract
A First Nation in Alberta is seeking a court order to halt a petition advocating for Alberta's secession from Canada. The Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation argues that the petition violates treaty rights by not obtaining First Nations' consent. The group behind the petition, Stay Free Alberta, has already collected over 178,000 signatures, surpassing the required threshold for a referendum. The Alberta government has indicated it will proceed with the vote if the signatures are valid.
