Alberta Independence: Court Ruling, Political Fallout

A court ruling in Alberta halts a separation petition, but lawyer Keith Wilson argues the provincial cabinet can still put an independence question on the ballot. The decision is seen as a victory by First Nations, who fear a referendum would impact their treaty rights. Premier Danielle Smith calls it anti-democratic and plans to appeal, but the situation may energize the movement.
